graphqlize.js

This project is still under heavy development, we will give update this document in more details shortly.

Graphql is cool, but there is still a big gap between the schema and real database. Yes, graphcool is even cool, it will generate the whole backend for you.

However, how about if you want to control your own data? Then graphqlize.js is the answer.

• It generates whole graphql backend with the schema you provides;
• It enables you to write your services exposed as queries and mutations easily;
• It supports many relational databases, like: postgres, sql server, and and sqlite3, etc.;
• It supports customised authorization policies;

Get started

Install

yarn add graphqlize-server

Create schema

Create a schema file named as xxx.type.gql, like below:

# post.type.gql
type Post {
	id: ID
	title: String
}

Start the server

import {startServer} from 'graphqlize-server'
startServer({
	schemaFilePattern: `${__dirname}/**/*.type.gql`,
	connection: {option: {dialect: 'sqlite', sync: {force: true}}}
})

Done

If you visit http://localhost:3000/graphiql，you should get all the queries and mutations for this Post model.
