# Method name: queryVariants()

# Method package: wixRestaurantsV2

# Method menu location: wixRestaurantsV2 --> itemVariants --> queryVariants

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-restaurants-v2/menus/item-variants/query-variants.md

# Method Description:

Creates a query to retrieve a list of item variants.

The `queryVariants()` function builds a query to retrieve a list of item variants and returns a `VariantsQueryBuilder` object.

The returned object contains the query definition, which is used to run the query using the [`find()`](/item-variants/variants-query-builder/find) function.

You can refine the query by chaining `VariantsQueryBuilder` functions onto the query. `VariantsQueryBuilder` functions enable you to filter, sort, and control the results that `queryVariants()` returns.

`queryVariants()` runs with the following `VariantsQueryBuilder` defaults, which you can override:

* [`limit(200)`](/item-variants/variants-query-builder/limit)

The following `VariantsQueryBuilder` functions are supported for `queryVariants()`. For a full description of the item variant object, see the object returned for the [`items`](/item-variants/variants-query-builder/items) property in `VariantsQueryResult`.

    try {
      const result = await itemVariants.queryVariants(options);
      return result;
