Meta Query in GraphQL

Obtaining the record count of a query​

The _EntitiesMeta API can be used to obtain the record count of a query. The meta query supports all the parameters that are supported in the FindMany query.

query{
 _customersMeta(where:{
   firstName:{
     contains:"jack"
   }
 }){
   count
 }
}


Obtaining the result count of a query​

The meta query can be used together with the findMany query in order to get the result count.

query customers($where: CustomerWhereInput, $orderBy: CustomerOrderByInput, $skip: Float, $take: Float) {
  items: customers(where: $where, orderBy: $orderBy, skip: $skip, take: $take) {
    id
    createdAt
    updatedAt
    firstName
    lastName
    __typename
  }
  total: _customersMeta(where: $where, orderBy: $orderBy, skip: $skip, take: $take) {
    count
    __typename
  }
}
