Rest API with dynamic order by?

[kabouras]

Hello, I wanted to clarify if it was possible to use dynamic "order by" clauses over the REST API.

The where clause with "_bool_exp" works fine. Using "_order_by" returns the error message below.

This is on v2.0.9.

Query

query myQuery($where: example_table_bool_exp, $order_by: [example_table_order_by!]) {
    example_table(where:$where, order_by: $order_by ) {
        name_field
        value_field
    }    
}

Payload

{

	"where": {
		"name_field": {
			"_eq": "Test"
		}
	},
	"order_by": [{
		"value_field": "asc"
	}]
}

Response

{
	"path": "$",
	"error": "The variable type for the expected variable order_by was not supported.",
	"code": "bad-request"
}

Does this mean "_order_by" is not supported by the RESTified API? If not, will it be in the future? Suggested alternatives?

Many thanks!

Hi @kabouras This is a bug. The API should support list types but we have inadvertently let them fall through to an error case on the backend. We will ship a fix for this as soon as it has been addressed.
