How to return custom fields in GraphQL

Question

This is definitely a noob question, but I can't seem to find an answer to this. (Completely new to GraphQL).

I'm trying to simply return entries:

query test {
  entries(section: "vacancies", limit: 20) {
    title
    expiryDate
    description
  }
}

Since the description is a custom field, this gives an error. How do I get a custom field value?

Answer 1

For anything else than base element fields, you'll need to use an inline fragment to fetch your custom fields like so:

query test {
  entries(section: "vacancies", limit: 20) {
    title
    expiryDate
    ...on sectionHandle_entryTypeHandle_Entry {
      description
    }
  }
}

Replace sectionHandle and entryTypeHandle with your values, I guess something like vacancies_vacancies_Entry
