GiraphQL is a plugin based schema builder for creating code-first GraphQL schemas in typescript.

Hello, World

import { ApolloServer } from 'apollo-server';
import SchemaBuilder from '@giraphql/core';
​
const builder = new SchemaBuilder({});
​
builder.queryType({
  fields: (t) => ({
    hello: t.string({
      args: {
        name: t.arg.string({}),
      },
      resolve: (parent, { name }) => `hello, ${name || 'World'}`,
    }),
  }),
});
​
new ApolloServer({
  schema: builder.toSchema({}),
}).listen(3000);

What GiraphQL offers

• A type safe way to build GraphQL schemas with minimal manual type definitions and no build

  process for generating type definitions

• A powerful plugin system that enables extending almost any part of the schema builder, as well

  as adding runtime features like authorization.

• A lack of dependencies: GiraphQL uses graphql as it's only peer dependency

• A set of plugins for common use cases:

  • ​@giraphql/plugin-scope-auth: A plugin for adding authorization checks throughout your schema

  • ​@giraphql/plugin-relay: A plugin for adding builder methods for defining relay style nodes and connections, and some helpful utilities for cursor based pagination

  • ​@giraphql/plugin-smart-subscriptions: A plugin for a more graph friendly way of defining subscriptions.

  • ​@giraphql/plugin-simple-objects: A plugin for creating simple objects and interfaces without defining types, resolvers, or arguments.

  • ​@giraphql/plugin-mocks: A plugin for mocking out resolvers in your schema.

  • ​@giraphql/plugin-sub-graph: A plugin for creating sub selections of your graph.
