Generates a Graphql schema and resolvers from an existing relational database
- Fully compatible with express, koa, hapi and Apollo Server
- Converts an existing relational database (only PostgreSQL and MySQL for now) schema to a JSON schema
- Generates a Graphql SDL schema with convenient types, queries and mutations
- Implements a generic Graphql resolver ready for API prototyping
- Load related records based on foreign keys
- Allows to add/override resolvers
query {
getPageUsers(
filter: "id#1,2,3"
pagination: "limit=2;orderby=username desc"
_debug: true
) {
items {
id
username
fullname(foo: "hello ")
password
posts(filter: "publish=true", _cache: false) {
total
items {
title
publish
categories {
title
}
}
}
}
}
}
- Only PostgreSQL and MySQL supported
- Better database types handling
- Better database queries optimization
Create testsCreate an NPM module- Move to TypeScript
- Add more and improve convenient API methods. Currently, only:
- getPage
- getFirst
- putItem
CREATE TABLE foo (
id serial,
name BOOLEAN
);
CREATE TABLE bar (
id serial,
foo_id integer
);
ALTER TABLE bar ADD CONSTRAINT fk_bar_foo_1 FOREIGN KEY (foo_id) REFERENCES foo (id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE;
Generated Graphql Schema
NOTE: "Foo" and "Bar" is the converted tablenames to CamelCase
