# Graphqlize

Warning: **Work In Progress**

This library creates a GraphQL schema from plain JavaScript classes. With this code:

```javascript
class Query {
/**
* List a few comments
* @param {number} offset - The offset of...
* @param {number} limit - The limit of...
* @param {int} limit
* @param {int} offset
* @return {Comment[]} - The result of...
*/
static list (limit, offset) {
return [{
text: 'hello world!'
}]
}
}

class Comment {
constructor () {
/** @type {string!} - The id of a comment */
this.id = null
/** @type {string} - The content of a comment */
this.text = null
/** @type {boolean} - Flag that indicates if the comment was deleted */
this.deleted = null
}

/**
* Gets whatever
* @param {context} ctxt
* @return {string} - The result of...
*/
whatever (ctxt) {
return Promise.resolve(this.text + ' heyyyyyy ' + ctxt.foo)
}
}
```

Just using `graphqlize`

```javascript
const { createSchema } = require('graphqlize')
const schema = createSchema(Query, Comment)
```

You get a GraphQL schema with this schema:

```
type Comment {
# The id of a comment
id: String!

# The content of a comment
text: String

# Flag that indicates if the comment was deleted
deleted: Boolean
whatever: String
}

type Query {
list(limit: Int, offset: Int): [Comment]
}
```

Once you have the schema you can run a server with it:

```javascript
var app = express()
app.use('/graphql', graphqlHTTP({
schema: schema,
graphiql: true,
context: {}
}))
```

## Based on JSDocs

Each class represents a GraphQL `type`. You annotate the classes with standard JSDocs attributes. It supports the following types:

- string: maps to GraphQLString
- number or float: maps to GraphQLFloat
- int: maps to GraphQLInt
- boolean: maps to GraphQLBoolean
- ID: GraphQLID
- Custom types
- Arrays of any previous type
- not-nullability with `{type!}`
- using `@param {context}` in a particular field you will get the GraphQL context injected for that argument

You just need to call `createSchema` passing all the types/classes that you want to expose

```javascript
createSchema(Query, Class2, Class3,...)
```

The first class will be the `root` in the schema. Methods act like attributes with arguments. They can be `static` or not.
