GraphQL is an awesome way to fetch just the right information you need from your backend. It’s commonly used in ‘headless’ environments. Statamic includes a read-only GraphQL API out of the box. Runway extends upon this so you can query your Eloquent models.

​
Enabling for resources

GraphQL must be enabled for each of the resources you wish to query. It’s as simple as adding to your config:
config/runway.php
'resources' => [
    \App\Models\Product::class => [
        'name' => 'Products',
        'blueprint' => 'product',

        'graphql' => true,
    ],
],
You must also ensure you have GraphQL enabled in Statamic as well for it to be available to you.

​
Queries

For each resource, there’s two kinds of queries you can do. An ‘index’ query and a ‘show’ query:

​
Index Query

Example of an index query: 
{
    products {
        data {
            id
            name
            price
            description
        }
    }
}
An index query also allows for pagination between results, you can read up more on that in the Statamic Documentation.

​
Show Query

Example of a show query: 
{
    products(id: "2") {
        id
        name
        price
        description
    }
}

​
Relationships

If you’re using the ‘Belongs To’ or ‘Has Many’ fieldtypes provided by Runway, you can also query the related models. 
{
  product(id: "2") {
    id
    name
    brand {
      id
      name
      created_at
      updated_at
    }
  }
}
Notice that in the above example, we have a ‘Belongs To’ fieldtype which we’re querying as simply brand, instead of brand_id. Runway removes the _id for you so you can build a nice, clean query.

​
Filtering and Sorting

You may also filter & sort results the same way you would with the built-in queries. Review the Statamic Docs.
