How to pass enum value in hasura query in flutter

Question

So I am trying to query data from hasura but one of the variable that I am passing is a variable due to which it always gives some error I tried many different solutions like this but no solution so far this is the query

query MyQuery {
Product(where: {product_category: {_eq: Liquor}}) {
product_decription
product_category
product_id
product_img
product_name
product_price
}
}

and this is the query part that I am trying

QueryOptions quer = QueryOptions(
  document: gql(r'''query MyQuery($category:[ProductType_enum!]) {
 Product(where: {product_category: {_eq: $category}}) {
product_category
product_decription
product_id
product_img
product_name
product_price
}
}
'''),
  variables: <String, dynamic>{
    'category': ['Liquor']
  });

I am not able to understand what's wrong I am doing in this query this is the enum class

enum Product_type {
Toiletries,
Liquor,
Household_Requisites,
General_Items,
Food_Medecine,
Watches_Stationery
}

I am getting this error

OperationException (OperationException(linkException: null, graphqlErrors: [GraphQLError(message: variable "category" is declared as [ProductType_enum!], but used where ProductType_enum is expected, locations: null, path: null, extensions: {path: $.selectionSet.Product.args.where.product_category._eq, code: validation-failed})]))

for normal query it works fine .

Answer 1

The issue is that you're passing an array where a single value is expected. The important part of the error message is this:

variable "category" is declared as [ProductType_enum!], but used where ProductType_enum is expected

In this case [ProductType_enum!] represents an array but the _eq part of your query is expecting a single value.

Just update your variables to be 'category': 'Liquor' and it should work for you.

If you want to be able to pass an array you should use _in instead of _eq and then write your query as

query MyQuery($categories:[ProductType_enum!]) {
 Product(where: {product_category: {_in: $categories}})
