GraphQL

Description

GraphQL client and server toolkit. The goal of this package is to consolidate core GraphQL modules in a single module to ensure version compatibility and maximize code reuse.

• Create or register GraphQL clients in the Awilix dependency tree with automatic creation of sub-dependencies.
• Create a Koa router for the GraphQL Apollo Server with a static or request-scoped schema. Includes GraphiQL and GraphQL Voyager.
• Import all GraphQL.js and GraphQL-tools modules from this module.
• Conveniently import gql, the graphql-tag, as the default import from this module.

Installation

Add this as a dependency to your project using npm with

$ npm install @meltwater/mlabs-graphql

or using Yarn with

$ yarn add @meltwater/mlabs-graphql

Usage

See the complete API documentation and working examples.

GraphQL Modules

graphql-tag

Import graphql-tag by default with

// import gql from 'graphql-tag' // instead of this use line below
import gql from '@meltwater/mlabs-graphql'

GraphQL.js

All GraphQL.js modules are reexported, e.g.,

// import { graphql, buildSchema } from 'graphql' // instead of this use line below
import { graphql, buildSchema } from '@meltwater/mlabs-graphql'

GraphQL-tools

All GraphQL-tools modules are reexported, e.g.,

// import { makeExecutableSchema } from 'graphql-tools' // instead of this use line below
import { makeExecutableSchema } from '@meltwater/mlabs-graphql'

GraphQL Client

Manual Instantiation

Create a [GraphQL Client] and run a query with

import createLogger from '@meltwater/mlabs-logger'
import { createClient } from '@meltwater/mlabs-graphql'

const client = createClient({
  origin: 'https://example.com',
  path: '/graphql',
  log: createLogger()
})

const logQuery = async () => {
  const { data } = await client.query(gql`{
    __schema {
      types {
        name
      }
    }
  }`)
  console.log(data)
}

logQuery().catch(err => { console.log(err) })

Dependency Injection

Register each [GraphQL Client] and its dependencies in an Awilix container

import { createContainer, asValue } from 'awilix'
import createLogger from '@meltwater/mlabs-logger'
import { registerClients } from '@meltwater/mlabs-graphql'

const container = createContainer()

container.register({
  log: asValue(createLogger()),
  reqId: asValue(null)
})

registerClients(container, {
  foo: {origin: 'https://example.com'},
  bar: {origin: 'https://bar.example.com'}
})

const fooClient = container.resolve('fooClient')
const barClient = container.resolve('barClient')

GraphQL Server

Koa

Create and run a Koa GraphQL Apollo Server with

import Koa from 'koa'
import { koaGraphql } from '@meltwater/mlabs-graphql'

import schema from './schema'

const app = new Koa()
const graphqlRouter = koaGraphql({schema})
app.use(graphqlRouter.routes())
app.use(graphqlRouter.allowedMethods())
app.listen()

Development Quickstart

$ git clone https://github.com/meltwater/mlabs-graphql.git
$ cd mlabs-graphql
$ nvm install
$ yarn

Run each command below in a separate terminal window:

$ yarn run watch
$ yarn run test:watch

Development and Testing

Source code

The mlabs-graphql source is hosted on GitHub. Clone the project with

$ git clone [e-mail]:meltwater/mlabs-graphql.git

Requirements

You will need Node.js with npm, Yarn, and a Node.js debugging client.

Be sure that all commands run under the correct Node version, e.g., if using nvm, install the correct version with

$ nvm install

Set the active version for each shell session with

$ nvm use

Install the development dependencies with

$ yarn

CircleCI

CircleCI should already be configured: this section is for reference only.

The following environment variables must be set on CircleCI:

• NPM_TOKEN: npm token for installing and publishing packages.
• NPM_TEAM: npm team to grant read-only package access (format org:team, optional).
• CODECOV_TOKEN: Codecov token for uploading coverage reports (optional).

These may be set manually or by running the script ./circleci/envvars.sh.

Development tasks

Primary development tasks are defined under scripts in package.json and available via yarn run. View them with

$ yarn run

Production build

Lint, test, and transpile the production build to dist with

$ yarn run dist

Publishing a new release

Release a new version using npm version. This will run all tests, update the version number, create and push a tagged commit, and trigger CircleCI to publish the new version to npm.

• Update the CHANGELOG before each new release after version 1.
• New versions are released when the commit message is a valid version number.
• Versions are only published on release branches: master branch or any branch matching ver/*.
• If branch protection options are enabled, you must first run npm version on a separate branch, wait for the commit to pass any required checks, then merge and push the changes to a release branch.
• Do not use the GitHub pull request button to merge version commits as the commit tagged with the new version number will not match after merging.

Examples

See the full documentation on using examples.

View all examples with

$ yarn run example

Linting

Linting against the JavaScript Standard Style and JSON Lint is handled by gulp.

View available commands with

$ yarn run gulp --tasks

Run all linters with

$ yarn run lint

In a separate window, use gulp to watch for changes and lint JavaScript and JSON files with

$ yarn run watch

Automatically fix most JavaScript formatting errors with

$ yarn run format

Tests

Unit and integration testing is handled by AVA and coverage is reported by Istanbul and uploaded to Codecov.

• Test files end in .spec.js.
• Unit tests are placed under lib alongside the tested module.
• Integration tests are placed in test.
• Static files used in tests are placed in fixtures.

Watch and run tests on changes with

$ yarn run test:watch

If using AVA snapshot testing, update snapshots with

$ yarn run test:update

Generate a coverage report with

$ yarn run report

An HTML version will be saved in coverage.

Debugging tests

Create a breakpoint by adding the statement debugger to the test and start a debug session with, e.g.,

$ yarn run test:inspect lib/client.spec.js

Watch and restart the debugging session on changes with

$ yarn run test:inspect:watch lib/client.spec.js

Contributing

The author and active contributors may be found in package.json,

$ jq .author < package.json
$ jq .contributors < package.json

To submit a patch:

1. Request repository access by submitting a new issue.
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature).
3. Make changes and write tests.
4. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature').
5. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature).
6. Create a new Pull Request.
