createDemoDataRepository()

API Stability	`Short-Term`

The createDemoDataRepository() GraphQL mutation field is used to get or create a new demo data view.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the createDemoDataRepository() mutation field:

graphql

createDemoDataRepository(
       demoDataType: string!
    ): Repository!

Below is an example of how this mutation field might be used:

Show:

graphql

mutation {
  createDemoDataRepository(demoDataType: "something" )
  { id,  type, dataType }
}

shell

curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "mutation {
  createDemoDataRepository(demoDataType: \"something\" )
  { id,  type, dataType }
}"
}
EOF

shell

curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
