GraphQL.js
The JavaScript reference implementation for GraphQL, a query language for APIs created by Facebook.
See more complete documentation at https://graphql.org/ and https://graphql.org/graphql-js/.

Getting Started
A general overview of GraphQL is available in the README for the Specification for GraphQL. That overview describes a simple set of GraphQL examples that exist as tests in this repository. A good way to get started with this repository is to walk through that README and the corresponding tests in parallel.
Using GraphQL.js
Install GraphQL.js from npm
With npm:
1npm install --save graphql
or using yarn:
1yarn add graphql
GraphQL.js provides two important capabilities: building a type schema and serving queries against that type schema.
First, build a GraphQL type schema which maps to your codebase.
1import { 2 graphql, 3 GraphQLSchema, 4 GraphQLObjectType, 5 GraphQLString, 6} from 'graphql'; 7 8var schema = new GraphQLSchema({ 9 query: new GraphQLObjectType({ 10 name: 'RootQueryType', 11 fields: { 12 hello: { 13 type: GraphQLString, 14 resolve() { 15 return 'world'; 16 }, 17 }, 18 }, 19 }), 20});
This defines a simple schema, with one type and one field, that resolves
to a fixed value. The resolve function can return a value, a promise,
or an array of promises. A more complex example is included in the top-level tests directory.
Then, serve the result of a query against that type schema.
1var source = '{ hello }'; 2 3graphql({ schema, source }).then((result) => { 4 // Prints 5 // { 6 // data: { hello: "world" } 7 // } 8 console.log(result); 9});
This runs a query fetching the one field defined. The graphql function will
first ensure the query is syntactically and semantically valid before executing
it, reporting errors otherwise.
1var source = '{ BoyHowdy }'; 2 3graphql({ schema, source }).then((result) => { 4 // Prints 5 // { 6 // errors: [ 7 // { message: 'Cannot query field BoyHowdy on RootQueryType', 8 // locations: [ { line: 1, column: 3 } ] } 9 // ] 10 // } 11 console.log(result); 12});
Note: Please don't forget to set NODE_ENV=production if you are running a production server. It will disable some checks that can be useful during development but will significantly improve performance.
Want to ride the bleeding edge?
The npm branch in this repository is automatically maintained to be the last
commit to main to pass all tests, in the same form found on npm. It is
recommended to use builds deployed to npm for many reasons, but if you want to use
the latest not-yet-released version of graphql-js, you can do so by depending
directly on this branch:
npm install graphql@git://github.com/graphql/graphql-js.git#npm
Experimental features
Each release of GraphQL.js will be accompanied by an experimental release containing support for the @defer and @stream directive proposal. We are hoping to get community feedback on these releases before the proposal is accepted into the GraphQL specification. You can use this experimental release of GraphQL.js by adding the following to your project's package.json file.
"graphql": "experimental-stream-defer"
Community feedback on this experimental release is much appreciated and can be provided on the issue created for this purpose.
Using in a Browser
GraphQL.js is a general-purpose library and can be used both in a Node server and in the browser. As an example, the GraphiQL tool is built with GraphQL.js!
Building a project using GraphQL.js with webpack or
rollup should just work and only include
the portions of the library you use. This works because GraphQL.js is distributed
with both CommonJS (require()) and ESModule (import) files. Ensure that any
custom build configurations look for .mjs files!
