Adonis GraphQL 🚀

Adonis GraphQL is a wrapper around apollo-server-adonis to provide a better experience writing Schema and Resolvers.

Setup

The package must be installed by using adonis command.

> adonis install adonis-graphql

You can use directly npm or yarn but the instructions (instructions.js and instructions.md) will not be displayed and ran.

⚠️ This package requires @adonisjs/bodyparser to be installed.

Bind GraphQL Endpoint

You can bind the GraphQL endpoint directly from your routes.js file.

In this example, we are using the / route to handle all graphql query.

const Route = use('Route')
const GraphQLServer = use('GraphQLServer')

Route.post('/', (context) => {
  return GraphQLServer.handle(context)
})

Route.get('/graphiql', (context) => {
  return GraphQLServer.handleUI(context)
})

// or add options (example)
Route.get("/graphiql", (context) => {
  return GraphQLServer.handleUI(context, {
    passHeader: `'Authorization': '${context.request.header("Authorization")}'`
  })
})

// or change options in file `config/graphql.js`

Create Schema

All schema are defined by default in the app/Schema directory. You can change this by editing the configuration config/graphql.js. To define a schema, you must use the graphql extension and syntax.

# app/Schema/Hello.graphql
type Query {
  hello: String
}

Create Resolver

All schema are defined by default in the app/Resolvers directory. You can change this by editing the configuration config/graphql.js. To define a resolver, you must return a JS Object.

// app/Resolvers/Hello.js
module.exports = {
  Query: {
    hello: () => 'World'
  }
}

Throw an error

GraphQL handles errors by a different way. To provide a GraphQL Compliant error we recommend you to use the GraphQLError class.

// app/Resolvers/Hello.js

const GraphQLError = use('GraphQLError')

module.exports = {
  Query: {
    hello: function () {
      throw new GraphQLError('Error Message', [...])
    }
  }
}

If you are using the Adonis Validation Provider your code must look like the example bellow.

const validation = await validateAll(data, rules)

if (validation.fails()) {
  throw new GraphQLError('Validation Failed', validation.messages())
}

Reload dev server on schema changes

By default, Adonis will not reload the development server when .graphql files are saved. To change this behavior, you can add the extension to your serve command:

adonis serve --dev -e graphql
