Method: InterMine::PathQuery::Query#add_views

Defined in:
lib/intermine/query.rb

#add_views(*views) ⇒ Object Also known as: add_to_select

Add the given views (output columns) to the query.

Any columns ending in “*” will be interpreted as a request to add all attribute columns from that table to the query

Any columns that name a class or reference will add the id of that object to the query. This is helpful for creating lists and other specialist services.

query = service.query("Gene")
query.add_views("*")
query.add_to_select("*")
query.add_views("proteins.*")
query.add_views("pathways.*", "organism.shortName")
query.add_views("proteins", "exons")
