Hi Alexis.

Thanks for using the plugin.

See the graphqlconfig in https://github.com/jimkyndemeyer/graphql-config-examples/tree/master/github-api-v4 for how to include tokens such as for authentication.

Best regards
Jim.

Thanks for your quickly aswer.
I see this example but I don't understand how and where put the env variable in upstream.

Hi Alexis.

I'm not sure what you mean by "where put the env variable in upstream".

Can you describe what you're trying to do, and what's not working?

[alex83130]

I try to pass an external variable in the .graphqlconfig, in your exemple you've ${env:GITHUB-ACCESS-TOKEN}, but where do you provide this variable ?

Thanks :)

Ah, you'll see a dialog where you can enter it when you execute a query or introspect the endpoint to fetch a schema. The dialog will remember your last entered value until you restart your IDE. Simply press enter the following time you see the dialog to reuse an existing value.

Hope that clears it up.
