Falcor Graph Syntax

Simplified GraphQL query syntax for Falcor.

Falcor path syntax can get very long and redundant:

[
	["foo", 1, "foo", ["foo", "bar"]],
	["foo", 1, "bar", 0, "foo"],
	["bar", 0, "foo", { from: 0, to: 9 }, ["foo", "bar"]],
	["bar", 0, "bar", { length: 10 }]
]

The deeper you go in the model, the worse it gets.

This library lets you use an alternative syntax, similar to that of GraphQL:

`
	foo(id: 1) {
		foo { foo, bar },
		bar(index: 0) { foo }
	},
	bar(index: 0) {
		foo(from: 0, to: 9) { foo, bar },
		bar(length: 10)
	}
`

Installation

npm install falcor-graph-syntax

Usage

Import the library.

import FalcorGraphSyntax from "falcor-graph-syntax";

Then replace your paths (strings or arrays)...

model.get(paths).subscribe(...);

... with your query (string), wrapped in the FalcorQuerySyntax() function.

model.get(FalcorQuerySyntax(query)).subscribe(...);
