A *work-in-progress* implementation of GraphQL for Go.

### Getting Started

To install the library, run:
```bash
go get github.com/graphql-go/graphql
```

The following is a simple example which defines a schema with a single `hello` string-type field and a `Resolve` method which returns the string `world`. A GraphQL query is performed against this schema with the resulting output printed in JSON format.

```go
package main

import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"log"

"github.com/graphql-go/graphql"
)

func main() {
// Schema
fields := graphql.FieldConfigMap{
"hello": &graphql.FieldConfig{
Type: graphql.String,
Resolve: func(p graphql.GQLFRParams) interface{} {
return "world"
},
},
}
rootQuery := graphql.ObjectConfig{Name: "RootQuery", Fields: fields}
schemaConfig := graphql.SchemaConfig{Query: graphql.NewObject(rootQuery)}
schema, err := graphql.NewSchema(schemaConfig)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to create new schema, error: %v", err)
}

// Query
query := `
{
hello
}
`
params := graphql.Params{Schema: schema, RequestString: query}
r := graphql.Graphql(params)
if len(r.Errors) > 0 {
log.Fatalf("failed to execute graphql operation, errors: %+v", r.Errors)
}
rJSON, _ := json.Marshal(r)
fmt.Printf("%s \n", rJSON) // {“data”:{“hello”:”world”}}
}
```
For more complex examples, refer to the [examples/](https://github.com/graphql-go/graphql/tree/master/examples/) directory and [graphql_test.go](https://github.com/graphql-go/graphql/blob/master/graphql_test.go).

### Origin and Current Direction

This project was originally a port of [v0.4.3](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js/releases/tag/v0.4.3) of [graphql-js](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js) (excluding the Validator), which was based on the July 2015 GraphQL specification. `graphql` is currently several versions behind `graphql-js`, however future efforts will be guided directly by the [latest formal GraphQL specification](https://github.com/facebook/graphql/releases) (currently: [October 2015](https://github.com/facebook/graphql/releases/tag/October2015)).

### Roadmap
- [x] Lexer
- [x] Parser
- [x] Schema Parser
- [x] Printer
- [x] Schema Printer
- [x] Visitor
- [x] Executor
- [ ] Validator
- [ ] Examples
- [ ] Basic Usage (see: [PR-#21](https://github.com/graphql-go/graphql/pull/21))
- [ ] React/Relay
- [ ] Alpha Release (v0.1)

The `Validator` is optional, per official GraphQL specification, but it would be a useful addition.
