customAttributeMetadata query
The customAttributeMetadata query returns the attribute type, given an attribute code and entity type. All entity attributes can be added to an equivalent GraphQL type, including custom, extension, and EAV (which have precedence set in that order for collisions). The GraphQL query consumer does not have the ability to know a field’s attribute type.
Syntax
customAttributeMetadata(attributes: [AttributeInput!]!): CustomAttributeMetadata
Example usage
The following query returns the attribute type for various custom and EAV attributes.
