GraphQL Query Modules

Importable GraphQL modules

gqlmod allows you to keep your GraphQL queries in .gql files and import them as modules.

• Validation of queries at import time
• Validation of queries against the schema

Usage

Install both gqlmod and any providers you need. (The starwars provider ships with gqlmod, so you can begin playing with it immediately.)

Define a .gql file with your queries and mutations, like so:

#~starwars~

query HeroForEpisode($ep: Episode!) {
  hero(episode: $ep) {
    name
    ... on Droid {
      primaryFunction
    }
    ... on Human {
      homePlanet
    }
  }
}

And then you can just import it and use it:

import gqlmod  # noqa
from mygql import HeroForEpisode

print(HeroForEpisode(ep='JEDI'))

Why

So why use this?

• Strong validation as soon as possible (when the modules are imported)
• All the work is done at warmup, not when the query is made
• I think not mixing languages produces cleaner code?
