Cannot query field "image" on type "Query" GraphCMS with Gatsbyjs

Question

Good Evening, I am new to Gatsby and Graphql. I am experimenting with the CMS system, but I have no idea what this error means. Any help would be appreciated. The marked below is the error that I have been getting. I do have the folder graphcms-fragmetns in my root folder. I have followed the documentation that's out there, but it hasn't worked.

Cannot query field "image" on type "Query" Graphiql also is only showing queries for my local machine. I am not sure what I am missing.

index.js

import * as React from "react"
import {useState} from "react";
import {useStaticQuery, graphql} from "gatsby"





const IndexPage = () => {
  const [query, setQuery] = useState([{}])

   const testQuery =  graphql`
  {
    image {
      images{
        id
      }
    }
  }
  
    `
   const test1 = useStaticQuery(testQuery);
   console.log(test1);

  return (
    <main style={pageStyles}>
      <title>Home Page</title>
      <h1 style={headingStyles}>
        Congratulations
        <br />

Cannot query field "image" on type "Query"

This basically means that you don't have an image node in your query so you can't use the GraphQL query.

According to the documentation, the way of using images should be a query like:

{
  allGraphCmsAsset {
    nodes {
      gatsbyImageData(layout: FULL_WIDTH)
    }
  }
}

In this case, allGraphCmsAsset is the main node created by gatsby-source-graphcms plugin where you have your images stored. If you test it in the GraphiQL playground (localhost:8000/___graphql) you'll see all the available nodes to query so give it a try and prepare your query there.

In your case, since you are customizing a little bit your node, I think your query should look like this:

{
  allGraphCmsAsset {
    nodes {
      image {
         gatsbyImageData(layout: FULL_WIDTH)
      }
    }
  }
}

But as I said, it will be strictly related to your GraphCMS fields, customization, and implementation. In other words, to get your nodes and data, use the GraphiQL playground. Build it there.

Your final structure should look like this:

import React from "react" import { graphql } from "gatsby"

function IndexPage({ data }) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {data.allGraphCmsAsset.nodes.map(image=> (
        <li key={image.id}>
          <GatsbyImage image={image.gatsbyImageData} alt="" />
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}

export const pageQuery = graphql`
  query IndexPageQuery {
    allGraphCmsAsset {
      nodes {
        image { 
           id
           gatsbyImageData(layout: FULL_WIDTH)
        }
      }
    }
  }
`

export default IndexPage

Check how pageQuery is outside the IndexPage component, unlike your provided snippet.
