Overview

Skylark's GraphQL Editor uses GraphiQL, a graphical interface for developers to interact with and explore GraphQL APIs. It visually displays the API schema, making it easy to navigate the provided data structures.

Find the editor by clicking Developer in the top menu of the Skylark Web App, then choosing GraphQL Editor​.

GraphiQL Explorer

The GraphiQL explorer is a user-friendly interface for developers to interact with GraphQL APIs. It provides a comprehensive view of the API schema and simplifies the process of developing and testing GraphQL queries by giving instant feedback on syntax errors. Non-technical users can also use it to explore the available data.

Documentation Explorer

The Documentation Explorer is a sidebar in the GraphQL Editor that helps developers explore the available fields, types, and operations provided by the API. It has a search bar and inline documentation to explain each field and type, making it easy to understand the data structure. The Documentation Explorer helps developers quickly grasp the available data structure and build more efficient queries.

History

GraphiQL's History feature lets developers view and manage their past GraphQL queries. The History panel displays recent queries and allows developers to select and modify them or execute them again with updated parameters. Queries can be saved to local storage or exported to share with others.
