The fieldAliasSchemaOnView() GraphQL query is
used to retrieve the active schema and its field aliases of a view.
Below is the syntax for the
fieldAliasSchemaOnView() query field:
fieldAliasSchemaOnView(
repoOrViewName : string!
) : FieldAliasSchema!
For the input of this query, give the name of the repository or
view you want to query within quote marks. For the return values
to request, enter them within curly-brackets. A list of your
choices are in the Returned Datatype section. Here's an example of
how you might use this query field:
