GraphQL IDE Monorepo

Security Notice: All versions of graphiql < 1.4.7 are vulnerable to an XSS attack in cases where the GraphQL server to which the GraphiQL web app connects is not trusted. Learn more in the graphiql security docs directory

Looking for the GraphiQL Docs?: This is the root of the monorepo! The full GraphiQL docs are located at packages/graphiql

Overview

GraphiQL is the reference implementation of this monorepo, GraphQL IDE, an official project under the GraphQL Foundation. The code uses the permissive MIT license.

Whether you want a simple GraphiQL IDE instance for your server, or a more advanced web or desktop GraphQL IDE experience for your framework or plugin, or you want to build an IDE extension or plugin, you've come to the right place!

The purpose of this monorepo is to give the GraphQL Community:

a to-specification official language service (see: API Docs)
a comprehensive LSP server and CLI service for use with IDEs
a codemirror mode
a monaco mode (in the works)
an example of how to use this ecosystem with GraphiQL.
examples of how to implement or extend GraphiQL.

`graphiql`

/ˈɡrafək(ə)l/ A graphical interactive in-browser GraphQL IDE. Try the live demo. We also have a demo using our latest netlify build for the main branch.

The GraphiQL IDE, implemented in React, currently using GraphQL mode for CodeMirror & GraphQL Language Service.

Learn more about GraphiQL in packages/graphiql/README.md

`monaco-graphql`

Provides monaco editor with a powerful, schema-driven graphql language mode.

See the webpack example for a plain javascript demo using GitHub API

`codemirror-graphql`

Provides CodeMirror with a parser mode for GraphQL along with a live linter and typeahead hinter powered by your GraphQL Schema

`graphql-language-service`

Provides language services for graphql-language-service-server codemirror-graphql and monaco-graphql. Previously published separately as the now-retired graphql-language-service-interface, graphql-language-service-parser, graphql-language-service-utils and graphql-language-service-types.

`graphql-language-service-server`

Provides language services for LSP-based IDE extensions

`graphql-language-service-server-cli`

Provides a CLI for the language service server

Browser & Runtime Support

Many of these packages need to work in multiple environments.

By default, all typescript packages target es6.

graphql-language-service-server and graphql-language-service-cli are made for the node runtime, so they target es2017

codemirror-graphql and the graphiql browser bundle use the .browserslistrc, which targets modern browsers to keep bundle size small and keep the language services performant where async/await is used, and especially to avoid the requirement of regenerator-runtime or special babel configuration.

`.browserslistrc`:

last 2 versions
Firefox ESR
not dead
not IE 11
not ios 10
maintained node versions

To be clear, we do not support Internet Explorer or older versions of evergreen browsers.

Fielding Proposals!

The door is open for proposals for the new GraphiQL Plugin API, and other ideas on how to make the rest of the IDE ecosystem more performant, scalable, interoperable and extensible. Feel free to open a PR to create a document in the /proposals/ directory. Eventually we hope to move these to a repo that serves this purpose.
