How do I add a Variable to a GraphQLRequest

[gregorvilkner]

I would like to inject a Variable into a GraphQLRequest. I am only able to accomplish this by casting the request through a JObject like so:

GraphQLRequest request = new GraphQLRequest { Query = fancyQuery };
JObject requestJObject = JObject.FromObject(request);
JObject variablesProperty = requestJObject["Variables"] as JObject != null ? requestJObject["Variables"] as JObject : new JObject();
variablesProperty["my variable"] = "variable value";
requestJObject["Variables"] = variablesProperty; 
request = requestJObject.ToObject<GraphQLRequest>();

I feel like there's got to be a better way to do this, but can't figure out how to deal with the GraphQL.Input class.

Can you use new Inputs(new Dictionary<string, object?> { { “test”, “value” } })? (Going from memory here…)

dang. i think i got close to that before. missed the constructor on the inputs that takes a dictionary. going with this:

Dictionary<string, object?> variables = new Dictionary<string, object?> { { "my variable", "variable value" } };
if (request.Variables != null)
{
    foreach (var aVariable in request.Variables)
    {
        variables.Add(aVariable.Key, aVariable.Value);
    }
}
request.Variables = new Inputs(variables);

thanks a lot for the quick response.

cheers.
