How to use _like with '%' in a graphql string?

Question

I'm using flutter with graphql/client library. I'm trying to create a string for a gql query that has a where condition:

const getUsers = """
query getUsers(\$nameToSearch: String!) {
   users(where: {name: {_ilike: %\$nameToSearch%}}) {
      id
      name
   }
}
""";

the problem is that I don't know how to insert the '%' symbol in that string... the example is wrong and I tried all the combinations. Online I found only basic examples that doesn't use the '%' symbol

What is the correct syntax?

Solution

just store you value inside another variable and then use that variable with ${variable} inside the graphql query it will help you

I think the question is more relate to graphql and you may find answer from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37981269/how-to-search-s‌​tring-values-in-grap‌​hql

I would like to use the 'variables' parameter in query options to pass the variables to avoid injections... at the moment i solved building the string in the classic way but I'm pretty sure that it isn't the correct way
