library docs
Usage
tl;dr
Install graphql-cli
and run graphql init
. Answer a few simple questions and you are set up!
You can either configure your GraphQL endpoint via a configuration file .graphqlconfig
(or .graphqlconfig.yaml
) which should be put into the root of your project
Simplest use case
The simplest config specifies only schemaPath
which is path to the file with introspection
results or corresponding SDL document
{
"schemaPath": "schema.graphql"
}
or
{
"schemaPath": "schema.json"
}
Specifying includes/excludes files
You can specify which files are included/excluded using the corresponding options:
{
"schemaPath": "schema.graphql",
"includes": ["*.graphql"],
"excludes": ["temp/**"]
}
Note:
excludes
andincludes
fields are globs that should match filename. So, justtemp
ortemp/
won't match all files inside the directory. That's why the example usestemp/**
Specifying endpoint info
You may specify your endpoints info in .graphqlconfig
which may be used by some tools.
The simplest case:
{
"schemaPath": "schema.graphql",
"extensions": {
"endpoints": {
"dev": "https://example.com/graphql"
}
}
}
In case you need provide additional information, for example headers to authenticate your GraphQL endpoint or an endpoint for subscription, you can use expanded version:
{
"schemaPath": "schema.graphql",
"extensions": {
"endpoints": {
"dev": {
"url": "https://example.com/graphql",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${env:AUTH_TOKEN_ENV}"
},
"subscription": {
"url": "ws://example.com/graphql",
"connectionParams": {
"Token": "${env:YOUR_APP_TOKEN}"
}
}
}
}
}
}
Note: do not save secure information in .graphqlconfig file. Use Environment variables for that like in the example above.
In case if you have multiple endpoints use the following syntax:
{
"schemaPath": "schema.graphql",
"extensions": {
"endpoints": {
"prod": {
"url": "https://your-app.com/graphql",
"subscription": {
"url": "wss://subscriptions.graph.cool/v1/instagram"
}
},
"dev": {
"url": "http://localhost:3000/graphql",
"subscription": {
"url": "ws://localhost:3001"
}
}
}
}
}
Multi-project configuration (advanced)
TBD
Refer to specification use-cases for details
How it works
This project aims to be provide a unifying configuration file format to configure your GraphQL schema in your development environment.
Additional to the format specification, it provides the graphql-config
library, which is used by all supported tools and editor plugins. The library reads your provided configuration and passes the actual GraphQL schema along to the tool which called it.
graphql-config
API
Here are very basic examples of how to use graphql-config
library.
You can find the detailed documentation here
getGraphQLProjectConfig
NOTE: if your tool works on per-file basis (e.g. editor plugin, linter, etc) use
getGraphQLConfig
function
getGraphQLProjectConfig
should be used by tools that do not work on per-file basis
import { getGraphQLProjectConfig } from 'graphql-config'
const config = getGraphQLProjectConfig('./optionalProjectDir', 'optionalProjectName')
const schema = config.getSchema()
// use schema for your tool/plugin
getGraphQLConfig
getGraphQLConfig
should be used by tools that work on per-file basis (editor plugins,
linters, etc.)
import { getGraphQLConfig } from 'graphql-config'
const config = getGraphQLConfig('./optionalProjectDir')
const schema = config.getConfigForFile(filename).getSchema()
// use schema for your tool/plugin
