graphql-tekk

A collection of tools for implementing common features of a graphql server. Get everything you need by adding descriptions to your GraphQL Schema

Features/Modules

SQL generation (TODO)

Automatically generate sql queries to fetch the required data. Configuration is done through adding custom properties to the graphql schema

Batching (TODO)

Coordinating SQL Queries

Query Filters (TODO)

Implement filter arguments by simply describing the graphql types that should have filters

Higher Order Resolvers (TODO)

Allow the wrapping of resolvers. Behaviour of the wrapper resolver can be configured through properties of the schema

Schema Annotations (TODO)

Add any custom properties to an existing graphql schema

Business Data Layer (TODO)

Create data Models to manipulate data using the same GraphQL Schema

• [ ] map sqlcolumns fields to sql table fields
• [ ] for properties that depend on multiple columns, define a reverse mapping that turns the computed value into multiple parts which can be updated
  • eg firstName, lastName -> fullName bob + lee -> bob lee, bobby lee -> bobby + lee
  • obviously only if the transformation is invertible
• [ ] Support upsert queries

Pagination (TODO)

Configure pagination through the schema

Schema Validation (TODO)

Define what constitutes a valid schema be free of worries

NOTES

• make the functionality, split into modules later

TODOS

Features

Dev

• [x] add typescript

• [x] create github repo

• [x] publish to npm

• [x] figure out how to publish only the compiled src (npmignore)

• [ ] use nodejs scripts as start script

  • [ ] fix the double initial compilation

• [ ] Figure out how peerDependencies work...

  • [ ] Do peerdependencies have to be duplicated in devDependencies?

DEMOS

• [ ] Mini server with filters
• [ ] schema reading example
