GraphQL Request generator

Utility class to generate GraphQL queries or mutations to be tested or used with an API client

The GraphQLRequest interface

Classes are using an array of GraphQLRequest objects, structured as following

type GraphQLValueItem = string | number | boolean | object;
type GraphQLValue = { [k: string]: GraphQLValueItem };
 
interface GraphQLRequest {
    fragmentName: string;
    fragmentParams?: GraphQLParam[];
    fragmentFields?: string[];
    fragmentValues?: GraphQLValue;
}
 
interface GraphQLParam {
    name: string;
    alias?: string;
    type: string;
}

GraphQLGenerator

The GraphQLGenerator class will do all of the syntax checking and values-compliance based on passed params. For example

const request: IGraphQLRequest = {
    fragmentName: 'createUser',
    fragmentFields: ['id','name','surname'],
    fragmentParams:[{
        name:'user',
        type:'UserInput'
    }]
}

Not providing user inside fragmentValues object will throw a ValidationError

Generation

Consider the following input

const requests: IGraphQLRequest[] = [{
    fragmentName: 'users',
    fragmentFields: ['id', 'name', 'surname'],
    fragmentParams: [{
        name: 'id',
        type: 'String'
    }],
    fragmentValues: {
        id: "123"
    }
}];

Query Generator

With a GraphqlQueryGenerator class, will produce the following output

const generator = new GraphqlQueryGenerator()
const query = generator.generateRequestString(requests);
 
// query
query($id:String) { 
    users(id:$id){
        id
        name
        surname
    }
}

Mutation Generator

With a GraphqlMutationGenerator class, will produce the following output

const generator = new GraphqlMutationGenerator()
const query = generator.generateRequestString(requests);
 
// mutation
mutation($id:String) { 
    users(id:$id){
        id
        name
        surname
    }
}
