Support for Elide GraphQL enpoints

[chirdeeptomar]

I use an Open Source framework called [Elide] (https://elide.io/pages/guide/v6/01-start.html) for building API's in GraphQL and REST. I am building the front-end using Refine to query the GraphQL server.

Elide query conventions are different than how the graphql provider currently works, I would like to write custom GraphQL queries but still benefit from Refine's capabilities like sorting, filtering etc. Essentially I would like to override some of the way graphql provider works.

Sample Query:

{ 
    query: { group(filter="name=='Java*'", sort="name") { edges { node { name commonName description } } } }
}

Output:

 {
    "data": {
        "group": {
            "edges": [
            {
                "node": {
                "commonName": "Example Repository",
                "description": "The code for this project",
                "name": "com.example.repository"
                }
            },
            {
                "node": {
                "commonName": "Elide",
                "description": "The magical library powering this project",
                "name": "com.yahoo.elide"
                }
            }
            ]
        }
    } 

Not sure how much work is to write a Elide Data Provider.

Hey @chirdeeptomar 👋,
Thank you for contacting us. We will deal with it next week 🚀

Hey @chirdeeptomar 👋,
I was able to build the query you shared with us with gql-query-builder.

        const query = gql.query({
            operation: "group",
            variables: { filter: "name=='Java*'", sort: "name" },
            fields: [
                {
                    edges: [
                        {
                            node: ["name", "commonName", "description"],
                        },
                    ],
                },
            ],
        });

output;

    {
      query: 'query ($filter: String, $sort: String) { group (filter: $filter, sort: $sort) { edges { node { name, commonName, description } } } }',
      variables: { filter: "name=='Java*'", sort: 'name' }
    }

If you want to create filter and sorting dynamically we have many examples. Some that I think might help you,
