/wireframe

GraphQL server for Kotlin using GraphQL-java and Ktor.

Primary LanguageKotlin

Wireframe

Maven Central

Wireframe is currently in a proof-of-concept stage. It should not be used in production environments. Feel free to try it out while the API gets polished and new features are added, but be aware that breaking changes are likely to occur.

Wireframe is a GraphQL library for Kotlin, built on top of GraphQL-Java. It provides support for coroutines and integrates with some popular web frameworks and serialization libraries.

Quick start

This guide explains how to install and setup your GraphQL application using a Ktor server backend. The full code can be found in the sample project.

Installation

Apply the gradle plugin on your project's build script:

// build.gradle.kts
id("io.github.darvld.wireframe")

Add runtime dependencies:

// build.gradle.kts

// Ktor integration
implementation("io.github.darvld.wireframe:runtime-ktor:<version>")

// Serialization provider
implementation("io.github.darvld.wireframe:transport-kotlinx:<version>")

Usage

Suppose you have the following GraphQL schema:

type Query {
    artist(id: ID!): Artist
}

type Artist {
    id: ID!
    name: String!
    bio: String
}

We can point the code generator to our SDL files using the Gradle plugin:

// build.gradle.kts
wiring {
    sourcesRoot.set("src/main/graphql")
}

Then we can use the generateWiring task to generate the code for our resolvers.

gradle generateWiring

The processor will generate a type-safe DSL that we can use to define our GraphQL API:

// AccountResolvers.kt

fun Resolvers.accountResolvers() = query {
    artist { id -> ArtistDto(id, "Bob") }
}
