Get GraphQL whole schema query?

Question

 want to get the schema from the server. I can get all entities with the types but I'm unable to get the properties.

Getting all types:
query {
  __schema {
    queryType {
      fields {
        name
        type {
          kind
          ofType {
            kind
            name
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

How to get the properties for type:
__type(name: "Person") {
    kind
    name
    fields {
      name
      type {
        kind
        name
        description
      }
    }
  }

How can I get all types with the properties in only 1 request? Or ever better: How can I get the whole schema with the mutators, enums, types ...

You can use GraphQL-JS's introspection query to get everything you'd like to know about the schema: import { introspectionQuery } from 'graphql'; If you want just the information for types, you can use this: { __schema: { types: { ...fullType } } } If that seems complicated, it's because fields can be arbitrarility deeply wrapped in nonNulls and Lists, which means that technically even the query above does not reflect the full schema if your fields are wrapped in more than 7 layers (which probably isn't the case). You can see the source code for introspectionQuery here.

Using graphql-cli is now the recommended workflow to get and update your schema. The following commands will get you started: # install via NPM npm install -g graphql-cli # Setup your .graphqlconfig file (configure endpoints + schema path) graphql init # Download the schema from the server graphql get-schema You can even listen for schema changes and continuously update your schema by running: graphql get-schema --watch
