Orchard Core GraphQL

Enable OrchardCore.Apis.GraphQL for /api/graphql. The endpoint requires ExecuteGraphQL; mutations additionally require ExecuteGraphQLMutations. Content access is also limited by the caller's content-view permissions. A JWT bearer principal must therefore receive the same Orchard permissions through its user or role before it can query content.

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "Feature",
      "enable": [
        "OrchardCore.Apis.GraphQL"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Use GraphiQL in the admin UI to inspect the schema and generated field names. Do not embed a fictional Liquid graphql tag; execute GraphQL through its HTTP endpoint or application code.

Graph Types and Where Filters

InputObjectGraphType<T> models an ordinary input object. It does not automatically create predicate suffixes such as _contains. For indexed content filtering, derive from WhereInputObjectGraphType<T> and use its filter-field helpers.

using GraphQL.Types;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Localization;
using OrchardCore.Apis.GraphQL.Queries;

namespace MyModule;

public sealed class ProductWhereInput : WhereInputObjectGraphType<ProductIndex>
{
    public ProductWhereInput(IStringLocalizer<ProductWhereInput> localizer)
        : base(localizer)
    {
        AddScalarFilterFields<StringGraphType>(
            fieldName: nameof(ProductIndex.Sku),
            description: "Product SKU",
            aliasName: "Product",
            contentPart: "ProductPart",
            contentField: "Sku");
    }
}

Register a map index with the dedicated extension:

services.AddWhereInputIndexPropertyProvider<ProductIndex>();

Index Aliases

IIndexAliasProvider is asynchronous in v3:

using OrchardCore.ContentManagement.GraphQL.Queries;

namespace MyModule;

public sealed class ProductIndexAliasProvider : IIndexAliasProvider
{
    public ValueTask<IEnumerable<IndexAlias>> GetAliasesAsync()
    {
        IEnumerable<IndexAlias> aliases =
        [
            new IndexAlias
            {
                Alias = "Product",
                Index = nameof(ProductIndex),
                IndexType = typeof(ProductIndex),
            },
        ];

        return ValueTask.FromResult(aliases);
    }
}

Register it with its intended lifetime:

services.AddScoped<IIndexAliasProvider, ProductIndexAliasProvider>();
