Tip
Use fragments to group common fields together, making your formatted queries more modular and easier to read.
Best Practice
Always name your operations (e.g., query GetUser) to make debugging and server-side tracking significantly easier.
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. It provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, giving clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more. Because GraphQL queries often involve complex nesting and multiple arguments, maintaining a consistent format is crucial for developers to understand the data requirements and the relationships between different types.
Did You Know?
GraphQL was created by Facebook in 2012 and open-sourced in 2015 to solve the problems of over-fetching in mobile apps.
While our online tool is perfect for quick fixes, we recommend integrating formatting into your daily workflow. Most developers use Prettier, which has built-in support for GraphQL. You can install VS Code extensions like 'GraphQL' by Apollo or 'Prettier' to format files on save. For teams, using a husky pre-commit hook to run a formatter ensures that no unformatted GraphQL code ever reaches your repository, keeping your codebase clean and professional.
Q: Does this tool support GraphQL schemas? A: Yes, it fully supports the Schema Definition Language (SDL), including type definitions, interfaces, and enums.
Q: Is my GraphQL code secure? A: Absolutely. Our tool processes all formatting locally in your browser, meaning your sensitive query structures and schemas are never sent to our servers.
Q: Can I format complex mutations with variables? A: Yes, the formatter handles operations with variables and complex input objects without any issues.
Q: Why is my code not formatting? A: The tool requires valid GraphQL syntax. If there is a syntax error (like a missing closing brace), the formatter will highlight the issue so you can fix it.
