GraphiQL Notebook allows you to explore and learn about the NerdGraph API dynamically.
Create notebooks that have context-aware, interactive elements.
Each notebook consists of cells, which each contains an independent GraphiQL instance, its own notes and rendered output.
You can create, update, save, and delete notebooks. Notebooks are exportable, and can be shared as blocks of Base64-encoded JSON.
If you're eager to jump in, see the Quick Start instructions.

Context-aware rendering is made possible by a set of custom renderers that know how to render certain types or fields.
Renderers are simply React component classes with an additional static method, test, that accepts a node in the output and determines whether it can render that node with a custom representation. You'll find existing renderers in nerdlets/notebook-nerdlet/renderers (epoch-milliseconds-renderer.js is a friendly one).
Documentation is a little lacking at the moment but you could drop your own renderer in today! Here's one you can try out that will link account IDs on account objects to the account page in APM.
Add this file to the nerdlets/notebook-nerdlet/renderers directory.
import React from 'react';
// Render account IDs as links to the account page in APM
export default class AccountIdRenderer extends React.Component {
static test(node) {
let parent = node.__meta.parent;
if (!parent) return false;
let isAccountTypeObject =
parent.__meta.typename == 'Account' ||
parent.__meta.typename == 'AccountOutline';
return isAccountTypeObject && node.__meta.fieldName == 'id';
}
render() {
let accountId = this.props.node.value;
return (
<a
target="_blank"
href={`https://rpm.newrelic.com/accounts/${accountId}`}
>
Visit Account {accountId}
</a>
);
}
}Next, import this class into nerdlets/notebook-nerdlet/renderers/render.js and add it to the RENDERERS array.
Now send a query that includes an account ID to see your new renderer in action!
{
actor {
accounts {
name
id
}
}
}GraphiQL Notebook augments the response data from the GraphQL server with additional information from...
- your GraphQL query's AST
- the standard GraphQL introspection response containing schema information
This allows you to write renderers that know a lot about the data they are looking at. You can ask questions like:
- What's this fields's type?
- What's this field's parent's type?
- Does this field have any arguments with the name "guid"?
- Does this field have any ancestors anywhere that took an argument called "accountId"? What was the value of that argument?
- Is this field pointing to a list? What of?
- etc
To provide this, the response data tree is walked and the following modifications are made:
- Metadata is added to objects
- Leaf nodes (scalars) are expanded into objects so that they can contain meta data
- Lists are expanded into objects with metadata and a
valuesproperties linking to the original array. - The metadata is under the key
__metaand contains things like:- type name
- leaf and list booleans
- field name
- a reference to the parent node
- the path so far
- if applicable, arguments provided to the field in the original query (for example, nrql, accountId, entity guid, etc)
The code that does this work is in nerdlets/notebook-nerdlet/results/augmentation.js. There are some dragons in there.
Note: metadata is omitted from the rendered results.
