STRATZ Models

This repository provides parsed C# models for the STRATZ.com GraphQL-API. They can be used for deserializing responses from the STRATZ-API. All models are generated with nullable types in oder to support the nature of GraphQL and its possiblilty to select only a handfull of fields.

Updating Models

The models are being updated daily by a program. It is advisable to poll this repository daily in order to keep in sync with the schema and not getting unexpected API-responses. I might add a CI to automatically release and push a NuGet-Packet once new models are available.

QueryBuilder

The model-generator not only generates useable models but also generates so called GraphQlQueryBuilder.

I highly recommend using those instead of fixed query-strings!

The benefits of using the GraphQlQueryBuilder are:

• IDEs can provide you with IntelliSense (auto-completion).
• Once the models get updated, the current code of your GraphQlQueryBuilder will produce errors (only incase of breaking changes).
• It will generate correct GraphQL-Query-Strings. Every time!
• It works with necesarry and optional Query-Parameter out of the box.

Usage

Include the models in your source-code by cloning them into it.

I would recommend doing this as a submodule¹ via:

git submodule add https://github.com/TheAmazingLooser/STRATZ_Models

To update your submodules simply use

git submodule update

Once included you can freely design you queries incode (use the namespace STRATZ to be able to use them).

This is a basic example:

//...
using STRATZ;
//...
public string GenerateGraphQL_QueryString()
{
  DotaQueryQueryBuilder dqqb =
    new DotaQueryQueryBuilder().WithConstants(new ConstantQueryQueryBuilder()
      .WithHeroes(new HeroTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithAbilities(new AbilityTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithModifiers(new ModifierTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithClusters(new ClusterTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithItems(new ItemTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithNpcs(new NpcTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithRegions(new RegionTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithRoles(new RoleTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithCustomAbilities(new AbilityCustomGameTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithGameModes(new GameModeTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithGameVersions(new GameVersionTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithLobbyTypes(new LobbyTypeTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields())
      .WithProSteamAccounts(new ProSteamAccountTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields().WithTeam(new TeamTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllFields().ExceptMatches().ExceptSeries().WithMembers(new SteamAccountTeamMemberTypeQueryBuilder().WithAllScalarFields()))));
  return dqqb.Build();
}

Footnotes

1. Be sure you initialized a (atleast local) repository with git init in order to be able to add a submodule. ↩
