graphi

hapi GraphQL server plugin

Options

• graphqlPath - HTTP path to serve graphql requests. Default is /graphql
• graphiqlPath - HTTP path to serve the GraphiQL UI. Set to '' or false to disable. Default is /graphiql
• schema - graphql schema either as a string or as a GraphQLSchema instance
• resolvers - query and mutation functions mapped to their respective keys. Resolvers should return a promise when performing asynchronous operations.
• authStrategy - (optional) Authentication strategy to apply to /graphql route. Default is false.
• graphiAuthStrategy - (optional) Authentication strategy to apply to /graphiql route. Default is false.

API

• graphql - exported Graphql module that graphi uses
• makeExecutableSchema({ schema, resolvers, preResolve }) - combine resolvers with the schema definition into a GraphQLSchema.

Usage

const schema = `
  type Person {
    firstname: String!
    lastname: String!
  }

  type Query {
    person(firstname: String!): Person!
  }
`;

const getPerson = function (args, request) {
  return { firstname: 'billy', lastname: 'jean' };
};

const resolvers = {
  person: getPerson
};

const server = Hapi.server();
await server.register({ plugin: Graphi, options: { schema, resolvers } });

With GraphQLSchema Instance

const schema = new GraphQLSchema({
  query: new GraphQLObjectType({
    name: 'RootQueryType',
    fields: {
      person: {
        type: GraphQLString,
        args: {
          firstname: { type: new Scalars.JoiString({ min: [2, 'utf8'], max: 10 }) }
        },
        resolve: (root, { firstname }, request) => {
          return firstname;
        }
      }
    }
  })
});

const server = Hapi.server();
await server.register({ plugin: Graphi, options: { schema } });

With hapi routes

You can also define resolvers as hapi routes. As a result, each resolver is able to benefit from route caching, custom auth strategies, and all of the other powerful hapi routing features. Each route should use the custom method 'graphql' and the path should be the key name for the resolver prefixed with /. You can also mix and match existing resolvers with routes.

const schema = `
  type Person {
    firstname: String!
    lastname: String!
  }

  type Query {
    person(firstname: String!): Person!
  }
`;


const server = Hapi.server();
server.route({
  method: 'graphql',
  path: '/person',
  handler: (request, h) => {
    // request.payload contains any arguments sent to the query
    return { firstname: 'billy', lastname: 'jean' };
  }
});

await server.register({ plugin: Graphi, options: { schema } });
