Hi Team,
Can you please check and let me know whether do we have feasibility to use GRAPHQL to bind data to hierarchical grid and emitted values can be transformed to GraphQL or not?
Please reach me on +91-7829446514 for any clarifications required on this.
Regards,

Hello Rajendra,
Thank you for posting in our community.
The Ignite UI for Angular Hierarchical Grid supports remote data operations such as remote virtualization, remote sorting, remote filtering and others. This allows the developer to perform these tasks on a server, retrieve the data that is produced and display it in the Hierarchical Grid. You can perform these tasks remotely and feed the resulting data to the Hierarchical Grid by taking advantage of certain inputs and events, which are exposed by the Hierarchical Grid. This means that remote operations are implemented manually, on an application as per your specific requirements. We have provided a few examples in Hierarchical Grid Remote Data Operations to demonstrate how this could be achieved. This topic and its samples can be considered as a general guidance how remote features are implemented. However, please keep in mind that particular implementation achieved within the application is beyond the scope of Infragistics support.
What I can suggest is to take a look at the Hierarchical Grid Remote Data Operations topic in our official documentation and to find how the Hierarchical Grid can work with remote data operations.
Please let me know if I could be of any further assistance.

hi Viktor,
Remote Data Operation is fine but while making advance filter search infragistics provide the query as array of objects instead of this do we have provision to emit it as a GraphQL or not? Hope this is much clear.. if required can we have a call with our team to showcase this issue and get clarity on it. I can see this feature on other grids like Kendo ..Hope we do have an option looking for the same.
Thanks
Thank you for your patience while I was looking into this matter for you.
I have created a sample, demonstrating how the Ignite UI for Angular Hierarchical Grid can work with GraphQL.
By using the emitted FilteringExpressionsTree argument of the advancedFilteringExpressionsTreeChange event we can get all of the filtering expressions and build a GET query:
public ngAfterViewInit() { ... this.hGrid.advancedFilteringExpressionsTreeChange.subscribe(e => { ... this.remoteService.getData(dataState, filteringOperands).subscribe( (data: any[]) => { this.hGrid.isLoading = false; this.hGrid.data = data; this.hGrid.cdr.detectChanges(); }, (error: any) => { this.hGrid.emptyGridMessage = error.message; this.hGrid.isLoading = false; this.hGrid.cdr.detectChanges(); } ); }); }
Then, all needed queries we can send to the server, where the filtering takes place:
public buildQueries(filteringOperands: any[]): any { const result: IFilteringOperand[] = []; filteringOperands.forEach(operand => { const fieldName = operand.FieldName; const searchValueString = typeof operand.searchVal === 'string' ? operand.searchVal : ''; const searchValueNumber = typeof operand.searchVal === 'number' ? operand.searchVal : null; const conditionName = operand.condition.name; result.push({ fieldName, searchValueString, searchValueNumber, conditionName }); }); return JSON.stringify(result); }
The subscription for the advancedFilteringExpressionsTreeChange event of the child grids can be made when the gridCreated event is handled, which returns instances of the created child grid:
public gridCreated(event: IGridCreatedEventArgs, _parentKey: string) { ... const grid = event.grid event.grid.advancedFilteringExpressionsTreeChange.subscribe(e => { ... this.remoteService.getData(dataState, filteringOperands).subscribe( (data: any[]) => { grid.isLoading = false; grid.data = data; grid.cdr.detectChanges(); }, (error: any) => { grid.emptyGridMessage = error.message; grid.isLoading = false; grid.cdr.detectChanges(); } ); }); }
Please keep in mind that I am using the Load on Demand feature for the initially loading of the child grids. More about this feature you can find here.
Please test the sample on your side and let me know whether you find it helpful.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi VIktor,
Thanks for your reply..!
Actually this not matching with what I was looking for .. I need the GraphQL query to do some manipulation and sent to my domain layer But i noticed you are using the Apollo client which has the own inbuilt methods which will not show us the GraphQL query
I have updated the previously provided sample where the Apollo package is not used anymore. Please test the sample on your side and let me know whether you find it helpful.
Please note that this is a just an example how the Advanced Filtering feature of IgxHierarchicalGrid can work with GraphQL server and you should make some changes in order the feature to work properly with the configuration on your side.
