Data Grid

Get a table of records from a Data Pool.

Use cases

Data tables

Display records in a table format.

Log interfaces

Display logs in tabular format.

Features

All the common API features, plus:

Ordering

Enables users to order the results based on a specified column and sort direction.

• Use orderByColumn in the query to specify the column to order by
• Use sort to specify the sort direction (ASC or DESC)

query DataGridExample {
  dataGrid(input: {
    ...
    orderByColumn: "taco_total_price"
    sort: DESC
    ...
  }) {
    rows
  }
}

Pagination

Provides built-in cursor-based pagination for navigating through large data sets.

• Use first to specify the maximum number of records to return
• The pageInfo object in the response provides pagination details

query DataGridExample {
  dataGrid(input: {
    ...
    first: 10
    ...
  }) {
    rows
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
      endCursor
    }
  }
}

See our API pagination guide to learn more.

Example

Example 1: Simple data grid query

Get records for the current month ordered by timestamp in descending order.

Query

query DataGridExample1 {
  dataGrid(input: {
    dataPool: {
      name: "TacoSoft Demo Data"
    },
    timeRange: {
      relative: THIS_MONTH
    },
    columns: ["timestamp", "taco_name", "taco_total_price"],
    orderByColumn: 1,
    sort: DESC,
    filters: [],
    first: 3
  }) {
    headers
    rows

Usage

Arguments

The fields for querying Data Grid records.

dataPool · DataPoolInput · required

The Data Pool to be queried.

Show DataPoolInput

id · ID

The ID of the Data Pool.

name · String

The name of the Data Pool.

timeRange · TimeRangeInput

The time range for retrieving the records.

Show TimeRangeInput

The fields required to specify the time range for a time series, counter, or leaderboard Metric query.

If no relative or absolute time ranges are provided, Propel defaults to an absolute time range beginning with the earliest record in the Metric’s Data Pool and ending with the latest record.

If both relative and absolute time ranges are provided, the relative time range will take precedence.

If a LAST_N relative time period is selected, an n ≥ 1 must be provided. If no n is provided or n < 1, a BAD_REQUEST error will be returned.

timestamp · String

The timestamp field to use when querying. Defaults to the timestamp configured on the Data Pool or Metric, if any. Set this to filter on an alternative timestamp field.

relative · RelativeTimeRange

The relative time period.

Show RelativeTimeRange

The Relative time ranges are based on the current date and time.

THIS - The current unit of time. For example, if today is June 8, 2022, and THIS_MONTH is selected, then data for June 2022 would be returned.

PREVIOUS - The previous unit of time. For example, if today is June 8, 2022, and PREVIOUS_MONTH is selected, then data for May 2022 would be returned. It excludes the current unit of time.

NEXT - The next unit of time. For example, if today is June 8, 2022, and NEXT_MONTH is selected, then data for July 2022 would be returned. It excludes the current unit of time.

LAST_N - The last n units of time, including the current one. For example, if today is June 8, 2022 and LAST_N_YEARS with n = 3 is selected, then data for 2020, 2021, and 2022 will be returned. It will include the current time period.

You can construct more complex filters using and and or. For example, to construct a filter equivalent to

(value > 0 AND value <= 100) OR status = "confirmed"

you could write

{
  "column": "value",
  "operator": "GREATER_THAN",
  "value": "0",
  "and": [{
    "column": "value",
    "operator": "LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO",
