Escape backslash in Angular for the http post call on GraphQL












0















I am trying to save some data using GraphQL which contains backslash in its input in my Angular 5 app.

For example, while creating a table I want to keep table name as IndianCars



Below is the body of HTTP post call:



{"query":"mutation { createTable(input:[{name:"IndianCars"}]) { id } }"}


Note: name is a string that's the reason I have added "" to escape.



But GraphQL is throwing an error:



'SyntaxError: Unexpected token ' in JSON



I have tried with replacing it. The table name can be anything, an input from UI.So according to that, I am building the HTTP Post call body dynamically as below.



createGraphQLBodyObjectForPostCall(tableName) {

const newTableName = tableName.replace(/\/g, '\\');

const bodyObject = {"query":"mutation { createTable(input:[{name:\"' + newTableName + '\"}]) { id } }"};

return bodyObject;
}


but I want to create the table with the exact same name as IndianCars

I just want to escape it from the HTTP post-call, but in DB it must save the exact input that we are sending.

  • Did you try: {"query":"mutation { createTable(input:[{name:"Indian\Cars"}]) { id } }"}

  • You can also try {"query":"mutation{createTable(input:[{name:'Indian\Cars'}]){id}}"}. Check the link: unserialize.com/s/2415ff6d-890e-a829-1397-000027c4f16e

  • @AkshayM I need to construct the post-call body dynamically, in the service, before I do an API call. Yes, If I add Indian\Cars will work, but how to achieve it from the service as I mentioned.
