Short tutorial explaining the structure of a basic GraphQL query: queries are enclosed in braces, fields represent data to request (example: availableStores), inner braces request specific subfields, and nested subfields (example: baseUrl) return those values for each item. The clip focuses on how to target specific data using field and subfield selection.
Let's break down a basic GraphQL query. Every query is contained within brackets. Everything inside these braces is sent to the GraphQL server. In this case, available stores is considered a field. A field is a part of the data structure that we want returned from the GraphQL server. The inner curly braces of this available stores field indicate that we want to request specific fields within this field. This allows us to specify which data we want to retrieve for each store. And finally, base URL is a field within a field. By including the subfield in the query, we're telling GraphQL to return all base URLs for all available stores.
