Logical connectors

You can construct queries with the logical (Boolean) connectors _and, _or, and _not. The precedence of connectors and, _or, and _not clauses are from left to right. This lets you group one or more fields, where each member uses the Boolean connector. By default, with no Boolean connector, the clauses are conjunctions, an implicit _and.

There is no difference in precedence for expressions grouped in curly braces.

Examples

`_and` clause nested within an `_or` clause:

{
  BiographyPage(
    where: {
      _or: [
        {Name: {eq: "Alan Turing"}}
        {
          _and: [
            {FamousQuote: {contains: "What am I in the eyes of most people"}}
            {FamousQuote: {contains: "That is my ambition"}}
          ]
        }
        {Name: {eq: "Charlie Chaplin"}}
      ]
    }
    locale: [en]
  ) {
    Name
    FamousQuote
  }
}

The conditions expressed in where is equivalent to:

if (Name == "Alan Turing" OR (FamousQuote.Contains("What am I in the eyes of most people") AND FamousQuote.Contains("That is my ambition")) OR Name == "Charlie Chaplin")

`not` clause:

{
  BiographyPage(where: {
    _not: [
      {
        Name: {
          eq: "Alan Turing"
        }
      },
      {
        Name: {
          eq: "Charlie Chaplin"
        }
      }
    ]
  }, locale: [en]) {
    Name
    Language {
      Name
      DisplayName
    }
  }
}

The conditions in where is equivalent to:

if (!(Name == "Alan Turing" OR Name == "Charlie Chaplin"))

And because of De Morgan's Law also equivalent to:

if (Name != "Alan Turing" AND Name != "Charlie Chaplin"))
