# What It Does
GraphQL S2S enriches the standard GraphQL Schema string used by both [graphql.js](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js) and the [Apollo Server](https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-tools). The enriched schema supports:
* [**Type Inheritance**](#type-inheritance)
* [**Generic Types**](#generic-types)
* [**Metadata Decoration**](#metadata-decoration)
* [**Deconstructing - Transforming - Rebuilding Queries**](#deconstructing---transforming---rebuilding-queries)
# Install
### node
```js
npm install graphql-s2s --save
```
### browser
```html
```
> Using the awesome [unpkg.com](https://unpkg.com), all versions are supported at https://unpkg.com/graphql-s2s@__*:VERSION*__/lib/graphqls2s.min.js.
The API will be accessible through the __*graphqls2s*__ object.
It is also possible to embed it after installing the _graphql-s2s_ npm package:
```html
```
# Getting Started
## Basic
```js
const { transpileSchema } = require('graphql-s2s').graphqls2s
const { makeExecutableSchema } = require('graphql-tools')
const schema = `
type Node {
id: ID!
}
type Person inherits Node {
firstname: String
lastname: String
}
type Student inherits Person {
nickname: String
}
type Query {
students: [Student]
}
`
const resolver = {
Query: {
students(root, args, context) {
// replace this dummy code with your own logic to extract students.
return [{ id: 1, firstname: "Carry", lastname: "Connor", nickname: "Cannie" }]
}
}
};
const executableSchema = makeExecutableSchema({
typeDefs: [transpileSchema(schema)],
resolvers: resolver
})
```
## Type Inheritance
### Single Inheritance
```js
const schema = `
type Node {
id: ID!
}
# Inheriting from the 'Node' type
type Person inherits Node {
firstname: String
lastname: String
}
# Inheriting from the 'Person' type
type Student inherits Person {
nickname: String
}
`
```
### Multiple Inheritance
```js
const schema = `
type Node {
id: ID!
}
type Address {
streetAddress: String
city: String
state: String
}
# Inheriting from the 'Node' & 'Adress' type
type Person inherits Node, Address {
id: ID!
streetAddress: String
city: String
state: String
firstname: String
lastname: String
}
`
```
More details in the [code below](#type-inheritance).
## Generic Types
```js
const schema = `
# Defining a generic type
type Paged {
data: [T]
cursor: ID
}
type Question {
name: String!
text: String!
}
# Using the generic type
type Student {
name: String
questions: Paged
}
# Using the generic type
type Teacher {
name: String
students: Paged
}
`
```
More details in the [code below](#generic-types).
## Metadata Decoration
```js
const schema = `
# Defining a custom 'node' metadata attribute
@node
type Node {
id: ID!
}
type Student inherits Node {
name: String
# Defining another custom 'edge' metadata, and supporting a generic type
@edge(some other metadata using whatever syntax I want)
questions: [String]
}
`
```
The enriched schema provides a richer and more compact notation. The transpiler converts the enriched schema into the standard expected by [graphql.js](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js) (using the _buildSchema_ method) as well as the [Apollo Server](https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-tools). For more details on how to extract those extra information from the string schema, use the method _getSchemaAST_ (example in section [_Metadata Decoration_](#metadata-decoration)).
_Metadata_ can be added to decorate the schema types and properties. Add whatever you want as long as it starts with _@_ and start hacking your schema. The original intent of that feature was to decorate the schema with metadata _@node_ and _@edge_ so we could add metadata about the nature of the relations between types.
Metadata can also be used to customize generic types names as shown in section [How to use a custom name on generic types?](#how-to-use-a-custom-name-on-generic-types).
## Deconstructing - Transforming - Rebuilding Queries
This feature allows your GraphQl server to deconstruct any GraphQl query as an AST that can then be filtered and modified based on your requirements. That AST can then be rebuilt as a valid GraphQL query. A great example of that feature in action is the [__graphql-authorize__](https://github.com/nicolasdao/graphql-authorize.git) middleware for [__graphql-serverless__](https://github.com/nicolasdao/graphql-serverless) which filters query's properties based on the user's rights.
For a concrete example, refer to the [code below](#deconstructing---transforming---rebuilding-queries-1).
# How To
## How to use a custom name on generic types?
Use the special keyword `@alias` as follow:
```js
const schema = `
type Post {
code: String
}
type Brand {
id: ID!
name: String
posts: Page
}
@alias((T) => T + 's')
type Page {
data: [T]
}
`
```
After transpilation, the resulting schema is:
```js
const output = transpileSchema(schema)
// output:
// =======
// type Post {
// code: String
// }
//
// type Brand {
// id: ID!
// name: String
// posts: Posts
// }
//
// type Posts {
// data: [Post]
// }
````
# Examples
_WARNING: the following examples will be based on '[graphql-tools](https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-tools)' from the Apollo team, but the string schema could also be used with the 'buildSchema' method from graphql.js_
### Type Inheritance
_NOTE: The examples below only use 'type', but it would also work on 'input' and 'interface'_
__*Before graphql-s2s*__
```js
const schema = `
type Teacher {
id: ID!
creationDate: String
firstname: String!
middlename: String
lastname: String!
age: Int!
gender: String
title: String!
}
type Student {
id: ID!
creationDate: String
firstname: String!
middlename: String
lastname: String!
age: Int!
gender: String
nickname: String!
}`
```
__*After graphql-s2s*__
```js
const schema = `
type Node {
id: ID!
creationDate: String
}
type Person inherits Node {
firstname: String!
middlename: String
lastname: String!
age: Int!
gender: String
}
type Teacher inherits Person {
title: String!
}
type Student inherits Person {
nickname: String!
}`
```
__*Full code example*__
```js
const { transpileSchema } = require('graphql-s2s').graphqls2s
const { makeExecutableSchema } = require('graphql-tools')
const { students, teachers } = require('./dummydata.json')
const schema = `
type Node {
id: ID!
creationDate: String
}
type Person inherits Node {
firstname: String!
middlename: String
lastname: String!
age: Int!
gender: String
}
type Teacher inherits Person {
title: String!
}
type Student inherits Person {
nickname: String!
questions: [Question]
}
type Question inherits Node {
name: String!
text: String!
}
type Query {
# ### GET all users
#
students: [Student]
# ### GET all teachers
#
teachers: [Teacher]
}
`
const resolver = {
Query: {
students(root, args, context) {
return Promise.resolve(students)
},
teachers(root, args, context) {
return Promise.resolve(teachers)
}
}
}
const executableSchema = makeExecutableSchema({
typeDefs: [transpileSchema(schema)],
resolvers: resolver
})
```
### Generic Types
_NOTE: The examples below only use 'type', but it would also work on 'input'_
__*Before graphql-s2s*__
```js
const schema = `
type Teacher {
id: ID!
creationDate: String
firstname: String!
middlename: String
lastname: String!
age: Int!
gender: String
title: String!
}
type Student {
id: ID!
creationDate: String
firstname: String!
middlename: String
lastname: String!
age: Int!
gender: String
nickname: String!
questions: Questions
}
type Question {
id: ID!
creationDate: String
name: String!
text: String!
}
type Teachers {
data: [Teacher]
cursor: ID
}
type Students {
data: [Student]
cursor: ID
}
type Questions {
data: [Question]
cursor: ID
}
type Query {
# ### GET all users
#
students: Students
# ### GET all teachers
#
teachers: Teachers
}
`
```
__*After graphql-s2s*__
```js
const schema = `
type Paged {
data: [T]
cursor: ID
}
type Node {
id: ID!
creationDate: String
}
type Person inherits Node {
firstname: String!
middlename: String
lastname: String!
age: Int!
gender: String
}
type Teacher inherits Person {
title: String!
}
type Student inherits Person {
nickname: String!
questions: Paged
}
type Question inherits Node {
name: String!
text: String!
}
input Filter {
field: FilterFields!,
value: String!
}
enum TeachersFilterFields {
firstName
lastName
}
type Query {
# ### GET all users
#
students: Paged
# ### GET all teachers
# You can use generic types on parameters, too.
#
teachers(filter: Filter): Paged
}
`
```
This is very similar to C# or Java generic classes. What the transpiler will do is to simply recreate 3 types (one for Paged\, Paged\ and Paged\), and one input (Filter\). If we take the Paged\ example, the transpiled type will be:
```js
type PagedQuestion {
data: [Question]
cursor: ID
}
```
__*Full code example*__
```js
const { transpileSchema } = require('graphql-s2s').graphqls2s
const { makeExecutableSchema } = require('graphql-tools')
const { students, teachers } = require('./dummydata.json')
const schema = `
type Paged {
data: [T]
cursor: ID
}
type Node {
id: ID!
creationDate: String
}
type Person inherits Node {
firstname: String!
middlename: String
lastname: String!
age: Int!
gender: String
}
type Teacher inherits Person {
title: String!
}
type Student inherits Person {
nickname: String!
questions: Paged
}
type Question inherits Node {
name: String!
text: String!
}
type Query {
# ### GET all users
#
students: Paged
# ### GET all teachers
#
teachers: Paged
}
`
const resolver = {
Query: {
students(root, args, context) {
return Promise.resolve({ data: students.map(s => ({ __proto__:s, questions: { data: s.questions, cursor: null }})), cursor: null })
},
teachers(root, args, context) {
return Promise.resolve({ data: teachers, cursor: null });
}
}
}
const executableSchema = makeExecutableSchema({
typeDefs: [transpileSchema(schema)],
resolvers: resolver
})
```
### Metadata Decoration
Define your own custom metadata and decorate your GraphQL schema with new types of data. Let's imagine we want to explicitely add metadata about the type of relations between nodes, we could write something like this:
```js
const { getSchemaAST } = require('graphql-s2s').graphqls2s
const schema = `
@node
type User {
@edge('<-[CREATEDBY]-')
posts: [Post]
}
`
const schemaObjects = getSchemaAST(schema);
// -> schemaObjects
// {
// "type": "TYPE",
// "name": "User",
// "metadata": {
// "name": "node",
// "body": "",
// "schemaType": "TYPE",
// "schemaName": "User", "parent": null
// },
// "genericType": null,
// "blockProps": [{
// "comments": "",
// "details": {
// "name": "posts",
// "metadata": {
// "name": "edge",
// "body": "(\'<-[CREATEDBY]-\')",
// "schemaType": "PROPERTY",
// "schemaName": "posts: [Post]",
// "parent": {
// "type": "TYPE",
// "name": "User",
// "metadata": {
// "type": "TYPE",
// "name": "node"
// }
// }
// },
// "params": null,
// "result": {
// "originName": "[Post]",
// "isGen": false,
// "name": "[Post]"
// }
// },
// "value": "posts: [Post]"
// }],
// "inherits": null,
// "implements": null
// }
```
### Deconstructing - Transforming - Rebuilding Queries
This feature allows your GraphQl server to deconstruct any GraphQl query as an AST that can then be filtered and modified based on your requirements. That AST can then be rebuilt as a valid GraphQL query. A great example of that feature in action is the [__graphql-authorize__](https://github.com/nicolasdao/graphql-authorize.git) middleware for [__graphql-serverless__](https://github.com/nicolasdao/graphql-serverless) which filters query's properties based on the user's rights.
```js
const { getQueryAST, buildQuery, getSchemaAST } = require('graphql-s2s').graphqls2s
const schema = `
type Property {
name: String
@auth
address: String
}
input InputWhere {
name: String
locations: [LocationInput]
}
input LocationInput {
type: String
value: String
}
type Query {
properties(where: InputWhere): [Property]
}`
const query = `
query {
properties(where: { name: "Love", locations: [{ type: "house", value: "Bellevue hill" }] }){
name
address
}
}`
const schemaAST = getSchemaAST(schema)
const queryAST = getQueryAST(query, null, schemaAST)
const rebuiltQuery = buildQuery(queryAST.filter(x => !x.metadata || x.metadata.name != 'auth'))
// query {
// properties(where:{name:"Love",locations:[{type:"house",value:"Bellevue hill"}]}){
// name
// }
// }
```
Notice that the original query was requesting the `address` property. Because we decorated that property with the custom metadata `@auth` (feature demonstrated previously [Metadata Decoration](#metadata-decoration)), we were able to filter that property to then rebuilt the query without it.
#### API

| query | String | GraphQl Query. |
| operationName | String | GraphQl query operation. Only useful if multiple operations are defined in a single query, otherwise use `null`. |
| schemaAST | Object | Original GraphQl schema AST obtained thanks to the `getSchemaAST` function. |
| options.defrag | Boolean | If set to true and if the query contained fragments, then all fragments are replaced by their explicit definition in the AST. |
__*QueryAST Object Structure*__
| Properties | type | Description |
| :--------- |:------:| :------------ |

Returns an array of strings. Each one represents the path to the query property that matches the predicate `ast => ...`.
__*QueryAST.containsProp(property:String): Boolean*__
Returns a boolean indicating the presence of a property in the GraphQl query. Example:
```js
const schema = `
type User {

type Query {
users: [User]
}
`
const query = `
{
users {
id
details {
gender
}
}
}`
const schemaAST = getSchemaAST(schema)
const queryAST = getQueryAST(query, null, schemaAST)
queryAST.containsProp('users.id') // true
queryAST.containsProp('users.details.gender') // true
queryAST.containsProp('details.gender') // true
queryAST.containsProp('users.name') // false
```
__*QueryAST.some((ast:QueryAST) => ...): Boolean*__
Returns a boolean indicating whether the QueryAST contains at least one AST matching the predicate `ast => ...`.
__*buildQuery(ast:QueryAST): String*__
Rebuilds a valid GraphQl query from a QueryAST object.
# Contribute
## Step 1. Don't Forget To Test Your Feature
We only accept pull request that have been thoroughly tested. To do so, simply add your test under the `test/browser/graphqls2s.js` file.
Once that's done, simply run your the following command to test your features:
```
npm run test:dev
```
This sets an environment variable that configure the project to load the main dependency from the _src_ folder (source code in ES6) instead of the _lib_ folder (transpiled ES5 code).
## Step 2. Compile & Rerun Your Test Before Pushing
```
npm run dev
npm run build
npm test
```
This project is built using Javascript ES6. Each version is also transpiled to ES5 using Babel through Webpack 2, so this project can run in the browser. In order to write unit test only once instead of duplicating it for each version of Javascript, the all unit tests have been written using Javascript ES5 in mocha. That means that if you want to test the project after some changes, you will need to first transpile the project to ES5.
