remote-graphql-binding

Overview

remote-graphql-binding helps to generate sdk for remote graphql services and use power of intellisense & type safety (using Typescript).

How it works

1. Create graphqlconfig file using graphql cli:

graphql init

2. Add generation script in package.json:

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "generate": "graphql get-schema --all && graphql codegen"
  }
}

3. Generate sdk for remote graphql service:

yarn generate
# or
npm run generate

Thats it, now you can use generated file to make remote calls, please check example

Install

yarn add remote-graphql-binding
# or
npm install --save remote-graphql-binding

Example

folder structure:

• src/index.ts
• .grpahqlconfig
• .env

.grpahqlconfig

{
  "projects": {
    "Neo4jService": {
      "schemaPath": "schemas/db.graphql",
      "extensions": {
        "endpoints": {
          "dev": {
            "url": "${env:DB_SERVICE_URL}",
            "headers": {
              "Authorization": "basic ${env:DB_AUTH_TOKEN}"
            }
          }
        },
        "codegen": [
          {
            "generator": "remote-graphql-binding",
            "language": "typescript",
            "output": {
              "binding": "src/generated/neo4j-service.ts"
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

.env

DB_SERVICE_URL=
DB_AUTH_TOKEN=

src/index.ts

import { Binding as DB } from './generated/neo4j-service'

const service = new DB({
  endpoint: process.env.DB_SERVICE_URL,
  authorizationHeader: `basic ${process.env.DB_AUTH_TOKEN}`,
})

service.query.Song({}).then(x => console.log(x))

API

constructor(options: Options): Binding

The Options type has the following fields:

request

The request method lets you send GraphQL queries/mutations to your Prisma service. The functionality is identical to the auto-generated delegate resolves, but the API is more verbose as you need to spell out the full query/mutation. request uses graphql-request under the hood.

Here is an example of how it can be used:

const query = `
  query ($userId: ID!){
    user(id: $userId) {
      id
      name
    }
  }
`

const variables = { userId: 'abc' }

binding.request(query, variables)
  .then(result => console.log(result))
// sample result:
// {"data": { "user": { "id": "abc", "name": "Sarah" } } }
