Introspection

The down side of the describe command is that it cannot be used in a query. However, it is possible to query the schema objects directly. Let's query the ObjectType corresponding to the Account:

Input

Run

with module schema
select ObjectType {
  name,
  properties: {
    name,
    target: {
      name
    }
  },
  links: {
    name,
    target: {
      name
    }
  }
} filter .name like '%::Account';

with module schema
select ObjectType {
  name,
  properties: {
    name,
    target: {
      name
    }
  },
  links: {
    name,
    target: {
      name
    }
  }
} filter .name like '%::Account';

Output Objects

Press the 'Run' button to evaluate the input
