Is it possible to query the same field multiple times with graphql

Question

What I want to do is to query for a particular field multiple times with different arguments. Is that possible in GraphQL?

Something like this:

query {     myItem(size: 100, type: 2) {         id,         name     }     myItem(size: 150, type: 2) {         id,         name     }     myItem(size: 10, type: 1) {         id,         name     } }

Yes, this is possible, but not in this form. GraphQL server will reject such query as a field with the same name used multiple times, but with different arguments.

You need to use aliases:

query {   item1: myItem(size: 100, type: 2) {     id,     name   }   item2: myItem(size: 150, type: 2) {     id,     name   }   item3: myItem(size: 10, type: 1) {     id,     name   } } 

You can find more info on aliases here:
