Making your first GraphQL query¶

Introduction¶

Let’s create a sample table and query data from it using the Hasura console, a UI tool meant for doing exactly this:

Create a table¶

Head to the Hasura console, navigate to Data -> Create table and create a sample table called profile with the following columns:

profile (
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, -- serial -> auto-incrementing integer
  name TEXT
)

Now, insert some sample data into the table using the Insert Row tab of the profile table.

Try out a query¶

Head to the GraphiQL tab in the console and try running the following query:

query {
  profile {
    id
    name
  }
}

You’ll see that you get all the inserted data!
