Queries - Kana

Queries define GraphQL operations which retrieve data from the server. They return only the data you specify, based on the fields which you provide in a query. If an object is returned, then you must specify the fields of that object which you want to return. The final result of the query must only return scalars.

At the start of every query operation, ensure that you specify query before the field(s).

Query Variables

We use variables throughout our example requests. We do this in order to mirror real-world application practices whereby you would most likely want dynamic values for your arguments. Take a look at this guide if you’re unfamiliar with how variables work in GraphQL.

feature

Retrieve a Feature.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
`id`	String!	The id of the feature. This maps to the `id` field as set on the Feature object.

Returns

Name	Type	Description

`errors` / `error`	See Errors	Returns any errors which may have occurred with the request.
