Discover Server

The Schema is the API

[[toc]]

Quickly prototype a GraphQL API server using different data sources. Starting a project has never been easier and fun

• Bring your own data via datasources
• Use the builtin fake data to get an API running
• Schema based relationships

Quick Start

Prototype a product API server using the builtin fakr datasource

Save this schema to a file called schema.graphql

type Product {
  id: ID @field(name: "random.number")
  name: String @field(name: "commerce.productName")
  price: Float @field(name: "commerce.price")
}

then in the same folder run

npx discover-server

now you can fetch products

  curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST \
  -d '{"query": "query { find_products(limit: 2) { name price }}" }' \
  http://localhost:8080/graphql

or visit http://localhost:8080/playground to use the graphql playground IDE

add relationships by updating schema.graphql to

type User {
  id: ID @field(name: "random.number")
  name: String @field(name: "name.findName")
  products: [Product]
}
 
type Product {
  id: ID @field(name: "random.number")
  name: String @field(name: "commerce.productName")
  price: Float @field(name: "commerce.price")
 
  user: User
}

fetch owners and products

  curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST \
  -d '{"query": " find_users(limit: 2) {name products (where: { name: {_eq: "awesome"} }, limit: 2) { name price } }"}' \
  http://localhost:8080/graphql
