Taxonomy support in the GraphQL API
On October 21st, the GraphQL API will support Contentful’s Taxonomy feature. Once the improvement is released, if you are on a premium plan and above, you will be able to filter entries using Taxonomy Concept IDs and even filter by descendants in the GraphQL API. With this enhancement, you can deliver a more personalized and contextually relevant user experience by leveraging structured and categorized content.
In addition, this enhancement allows you to build more advanced content discovery and filtering capabilities using the hierarchical structure of taxonomies. Users can target entries by specific and related concepts, unlocking more dynamic content curation.
Schema changes
We are going to update the schema by adding new types called ContentfulMetadataConceptsFilter and ContentfulMetadataConceptsDescendantsFilter. These new types will allow you to filter on concepts and their descendants.
These schema changes are necessary for taxonomy addition to GraphQL API.
Important: This is an additive change, not a breaking change, but it may affect your tooling in certain circumstances, for example, when using a linter before builds. We do not recommend customers consume or use a linter in their applications.
For more information see the Taxonomy section on the GraphQL API page.
