Formatting and Validating GraphQL Queries and Mutations
Messy, unindented GraphQL queries make code reviews difficult and hide syntax errors. Formatting queries according to standard GraphQL AST conventions ensures clean readability.
Format and validate your queries with the GraphQL Formatter & Validator.
Example: Formatted GraphQL Operation
query GetUserProfile($userId: ID!, $includeHistory: Boolean = false) {
user(id: $userId) {
id
name
email
profilePicture(size: SMALL)
orderHistory @include(if: $includeHistory) {
id
totalAmount
createdAt
}
}
}
Validate syntax and prettify your GraphQL documents with the GraphQL Formatter & Validator.
