GraphQL Quick Reference

🚀 Quick Start

# Backend
pip install strawberry-graphql[fastapi]
python server.py

# Frontend  
npm install @apollo/client graphql
npm run dev

# Test
open http://localhost:8000/graphql

📝 Common Queries

Anonymize Text

mutation {
  anonymize(text: "John Smith at john@example.com") {
    anonymizedText
    entitiesProcessed
  }
}

Selective PII

mutation {
  anonymize(
    text: "John Smith, john@example.com, 555-1234"
    options: {
      person: true
      emailAddress: true
      phoneNumber: false
    }
  ) {
    anonymizedText
  }
}

Batch Processing

mutation {
  anonymizeBatch(texts: ["text1", "text2"]) {
    totalEntitiesFound
    results {
      anonymizedText
    }
  }
}

Preview Detection

query {
  detectEntities(text: "John Smith") {
    totalEntities
    entities {
      entityGroup
      word
      confidencePercentage
    }
  }
}

Health Check

query {
  health {
    status
    isOperational
    mcpServers {
      healthy
      total
    }
  }
}

🎣 React Hooks

import { useAnonymize } from './graphql/hooks';

function MyComponent() {
  const { anonymize, loading, error } = useAnonymize();
  
  const handleSubmit = async () => {
    const result = await anonymize(text, options, fullRedaction);
    console.log(result.anonymizedText);
  };
}

🔧 Available Hooks

• useAnonymize() - Single text anonymization
• useAnonymizeBatch() - Batch processing
• usePreviewAnonymization() - Detection only
• useHealthCheck() - System health
• useConfig() - System configuration
• useSupportedTypes() - PII types list
• useDetectEntities() - Entity detection
• useMCPStatus() - MCP server status

📊 Schema Highlights

Input Types

input PIIOptionsInput {
  person: Boolean
  organization: Boolean
  emailAddress: Boolean
  phoneNumber: Boolean
  # ... 20+ types
}

Output Types

type AnonymizationResult {
  anonymizedText: String!
  entities: [Entity!]!
  processingTime: Float!
  entitiesProcessed: Int!
  redactionPercentage: Float!  # Computed
  entitiesByType: JSON!         # Computed
}

Enums

enum PIITypeEnum {
  PERSON
  ORGANIZATION
  EMAIL_ADDRESS
  # ... 20+ types
}

enum AnonymizationStrategy {
  PSEUDONYMIZE
  MASK
  REDACT
  CUSTOM
}

🎯 Edge Cases Handled

✅ Empty text validation ✅ Max length (1MB) ✅ Batch size limit (100) ✅ Invalid PII types ✅ MCP server failures ✅ Network errors ✅ Type conversions ✅ Entity normalization

💡 Best Practices

1. Request only needed fields

   mutation {
     anonymize(text: "...") {
       anonymizedText  # Not everything
     }
   }

2. Use fragments

   fragment EntityDetails on Entity {
     entityGroup
     word
     confidencePercentage
   }

3. Handle errors

   try {
     const result = await anonymize(text);
   } catch (err) {
     if (err.graphQLErrors) { /* validation */ }
     if (err.networkError) { /* network */ }
   }

4. Leverage caching

   const { data } = useQuery(HEALTH_CHECK, {
     pollInterval: 30000,
     fetchPolicy: 'cache-first'
   });

🐛 Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Module not found	pip install strawberry-graphql[fastapi]
Apollo error	npm install @apollo/client graphql
Playground not loading	Check server running on port 8000
CORS error	Verify CORS middleware configured
Field not found	Check resolvers attached in graphql_server.py
