GraphQLBoot

Maybe the best practice for GraphQL on node.js project.

Features:

• Using decorator @GraphqlSchema to define GraphQL schema so that you could write schema & resolver together
• graphql tag for IDE syntax highlight
• Scanning all *.graphqls file as GraphQL schema, for better experience of WebStorm Plugin JS GraphQL
• Built-in common scalars such as JSON/URL/Timestamp/Range, etc.

Before using GraphQLBoot:

var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var { graphqlExpress, graphiqlExpress } = require('apollo-server-express');
var { makeExecutableSchema } = require('graphql-tools');

var typeDefs = [`
type Query {
  hello: String
}

schema {
  query: Query
}`];

var resolvers = {
  Query: {
    hello(root) {
      return 'world';
    }
  }
};

var schema = makeExecutableSchema({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers
});
var app = express();
app.use('/graphql', bodyParser.json(), graphqlExpress({schema}));
app.use('/graphiql', graphiqlExpress({endpointURL: '/graphql'}));
app.listen(4000, () => console.log('Now browse to localhost:4000/graphiql'));

After using GraphQLBoot:

import GraphqlBoot, {GraphqlSchema, graphql} from 'graphql-boot';
import { graphiqlExpress, graphqlExpress } from 'apollo-server-express/dist/index';
import express from 'express';

const app = express();
const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    @GraphqlSchema(graphql`
        extend type Query {
            hello: String
        }
    `)    
    hello: async() => {
      return 'world';
    }
  }
}
const graphqlBoot = new GraphqlBoot();
app.use('/api', graphqlExpress({
  schema: graphqlBoot.getSchema({
    typeDefs: [],
    resolvers
  })
}));
app.use('/graphiql', graphiqlExpress({ endpointURL: '/api' }));
app.listen(4000, () => console.log('Now browse to localhost:4000/graphiql'));
