graphql

Low-level GraphQL client for Go.

Simple, familiar API
Respects context.Context timeouts and cancellation
Build and execute any kind of GraphQL request
Use strong Go types for response data
Use variables and upload files
Simple error handling

Installation

Make sure you have a working Go environment. To install graphql, simply run:

$ go get github.com/matryer/graphql

Usage

import "context"

// create a client (safe to share across requests)
client := graphql.NewClient("https://machinebox.io/graphql")

// make a request
req := graphql.NewRequest(`
    query ($key: String!) {
        items (id:$key) {
            field1
            field2
            field3
        }
    }
`)

// set any variables
req.Var("key", "value")

// set header fields
req.Header.Set("Cache-Control", "no-cache")

// define a Context for the request
ctx := context.Background()

// run it and capture the response
var respData ResponseStruct
if err := client.Run(ctx, req, &respData); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

File support via multipart form data

By default, the package will send a JSON body. To enable the sending of files, you can opt to use multipart form data instead using the UseMultipartForm option when you create your Client:

client := graphql.NewClient("https://machinebox.io/graphql", graphql.UseMultipartForm())

For more information, read the godoc package documentation or the blog post.
