About GraphQL Formatter
The GraphQL Formatter lays out queries, mutations, and fragments with clear indentation so you can review field selections and variables at a glance. It supports API exploration, code review, and teaching GraphQL syntax.
How to Use GraphQL Formatter
Paste a GraphQL operation from Apollo Studio, Insomnia, or your codebase. Format to align nested fields and argument lists. Copy the readable operation into docs, pull requests, or client code.
When to Use GraphQL Formatter
Client development: Compare mobile and web queries during refactors. Backend review: Read complex resolver selections in PRs. Workshops: Present readable examples on screen without manual spacing. Debugging: Beautify logged operations from error traces.
Why Use This GraphQL Formatter?
Dense one-line GraphQL is error-prone to edit; structured layout highlights duplicate fields and missing variables. No GraphQL IDE required for a fast prettify pass.
How to use
1. Paste a GraphQL operation from Apollo Studio, Insomnia, or your codebase.
2. Format to align nested fields and argument lists.
3. Copy the readable operation into docs, pull requests, or client code.
Frequently asked questions
Does GraphQL Formatter upload my source code?
No. Formatting runs locally in your browser after the page loads—nothing is sent to Case Modify servers.
Can GraphQL Formatter minify as well as beautify?
Yes when the tool supports both modes. Use Format for readable indentation and Minify for compact output before deployment.
Does GraphQL Formatter change how my code runs?
No. Formatting only adjusts whitespace and line breaks (or minifies size). It does not rewrite logic, although you should always review output before deploying.
