Question: How to add a querystring as a variable?

[superbeeny]

Hi,

Hopefully this is simple miss on my part.

    var query struct {
        Search struct {
            RepositoryCount int
            PageInfo        struct {
                EndCursor   githubv4.String
                HasNextPage bool
            }
            Repos []struct {
                Repository respository `graphql:"... on Repository"`
            } `graphql:"nodes"`
        } `graphql:"search(first: 100, after: $repocursor, type: REPOSITORY, query: $querystring)"`
        RateLimit struct {
            Cost      githubv4.Int
            Limit     githubv4.Int
            Remaining githubv4.Int
            ResetAt   githubv4.DateTime
        }
    }

    variables := map[string]interface{}{
        "repocursor":  (*githubv4.String)(nil),
        "querystring": githubv4.String(`\"archived: false pushed:>2020-04-01 created:2020-01-01..2020-02-01\"`),
    }

What is the correct format/method to substitute in a querystring?

Thanks in advance

I'm not completely sure what you mean by "substitute"? Do you mean change its value?

Its value is provided in the variables map above. So, you can just modify it there:

variables["querystring"] = githubv4.String(`"archived: true"`)

Also see https://github.com/shurcooL/githubv4#arguments-and-variables.

when I put it into the graphql query like } graphql:"search(first: 100, after: $repocursor, type: REPOSITORY, query: \"pushed:>2020-04-01 created:2020-01-01..2020-02-01\")"

I get results, when I choose to use a variable $querystring and variable in graphql:"search(first: 100, after: $repocursor, type: REPOSITORY, query: $querystring)"

I get nothing.

Oh. It might be because you're including double quotes in the string in the latter case (but not in the former). Try:

variables["querystring"] = githubv4.String(`pushed:>2020-04-01 created:2020-01-01..2020-02-01`)
