graphile-build
Advanced tools
graphile-build is the core of Graphile Engine. It provides a framework to
build high-performance extensible GraphQL APIs by combining plugins and using
advanced query look-ahead features. Each plugin typically has its own small
purpose (such as implementing the Node interface, adding query: Query to
mutation payloads, or watching an external source for schema changes) and by
combining these plugins together you get a large, powerful, and manageable
GraphQL schema. Plugins enable you to make broad changes to your GraphQL
schema with minimal code and without sacrificing performance.
An example of an application built on graphile-build is
PostGraphile which with one
command connects to your PostgreSQL database and provides a full highly
performant standards-compliant GraphQL API. The separate graphile-build-pg
module contains the plugins that are specific to PostgreSQL support
(graphile-build itself does not know about databases).

documentation website at graphile.org. The
below just serves as a limited quick-reference for people already familiar
with the library.
Please note: rather than using the raw plugin interface that
graphile-build exposes, you may want to use the helpers in
the graphile-utils module.
