This crate uses #![forbid(unsafe_code)] to ensure everything is implemented in 100% safe Rust.

Static schema

use std::error::Error;

use async_graphql::*;
use async_graphql_poem::*;
use poem::{*, listener::TcpListener};

struct Query;

#[Object]
impl Query {
  async fn howdy(&self) -> &'static str {
    "partner"
  }
}

async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
  // create the schema
  let schema = Schema::build(Query, EmptyMutation, EmptySubscription).finish();

  // start the http server
  let app = Route::new().at("/", get(graphiql).post(GraphQL::new(schema)));
  println!("GraphiQL: http://localhost:8000");
  Server::new(TcpListener::bind("0.0.0.0:8000")).run(app).await?;
  Ok(())
}

Dynamic schema

use std::error::Error;

use async_graphql::dynamic::*;
use async_graphql_poem::*;
use poem::{*, listener::TcpListener};

let query = Object::new("Query")
  .field(Field::new("howdy", TypeRef::named_nn(TypeRef::STRING), |_| FieldFuture::new(async { "partner" })));

async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
  // create the schema
  let schema = Schema::build(query, None, None)
    .register(query)
    .finish()?;

  // start the http server
  let app = Route::new().at("/", get(graphiql).post(GraphQL::new(schema)));
  println!("GraphiQL: http://localhost:8000");
  Server::new(TcpListener::bind("0.0.0.0:8000")).run(app).await?;
  Ok(())
}

Examples

All examples are in the sub-repository, located in the examples directory.

git submodule update # update the examples repo
cd examples && cargo run --bin [name]

Integrations

Integrations are what glue async-graphql with your web server, here are provided ones, or you can build your own!

Observability

One of the tools used to monitor your graphql server in production is Apollo Studio. Apollo Studio is a cloud platform that helps you build, monitor, validate, and secure your organization's data graph. Add the extension crate async_graphql_apollo_studio_extension to make this avaliable.
