graphql-tools (Rust)

Documentation | Crate | GitHub

Note: this crate is still under development (see roadmap below)

The graphql_tools crate implements tooling around GraphQL for Rust libraries. Most of the tools are based on traits and structs implemented in graphql_parser crate.

The goal of this library is to create a common layer of tools that has similar/improved APIs to graphql-js reference implementation and graphql-tools from the JS/TS ecosystem.

Getting Started

Crates.io

Add graphql-tools as a dependency of your project by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
graphql-tools = "..."

Or, if you are using cargo-edit:

cargo add graphql-tools

Roadmap and progress

  • Better documentation
  • AST Visitor for GraphQL schema (graphql_parser::schema::Document)
  • AST Visitor for GraphQL operations (graphql_parser::operation::Document)
  • AST Visitor with TypeInfo
  • AST tools (ongoing)
  • struct extensions
  • GraphQL Validation engine
  • Validation rules
  • GraphQL operations transformer

If you have an idea / missing feature, feel free to open an issue / start a GitHub discussion!
