How to send GraphQLrequest using Cypress

I wonder if there is a way to send GraphQL mutations using Cypress? There is cy.intercept() but this is more for waiting for responses.

You can use cy.request(), you only need to know how GraphQL works and what format of the payload you need to send to your endpoint.

An example could be:

describe('GraphQl example', () => {
  it('Send req to graphql endpoint', () => {
    const query = `{ 
      speakers(name: "Miloš") {
        id
        firstName
        lastName
      }
    }`;
    cy
      .request({
        url: 'https://demagog.cz/graphql',
        method: 'POST',
        body: { query }
      })
      .then(res => {
        cy
          .log(res);
      });
  });
});

And I easily get a successful response with data:

Things you need to know:

  • how to use GraphQL endpoints, how to form queries
  • how to use cy.request()
  • and of course some Cypress basics
