Hacks

Added a convenience function +graphql-doc-open-config to open schema docs from a .graphqlconfig file.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for using this module. LSP server should be downloaded upon opening a graphql buffer.

Features

Sending queries

When visiting a graphql buffer, you have access to the ability to send the current query with C-c C-c which will prompt you for an optional variables file, then execute the query and return a buffer of the results.

It's also possible to send queries using org-babel using a block such as the ones below (executing correctly will require :lang org)

{
    "continentCode": "AF"
}
query GetContinents($continentCode: String!) {
  continent(code: $continentCode) {
    name
    code
  }
}
{
  "data": {
    "continent": {
      "name": "Africa",
      "code": "AF"
    }
  }
}

Viewing docs

With this module, there are 3 ways to view schemas:

  • +graphql-doc-open-config which uses a local .graphqlconfig file to seed endpoints to query
  • graphql-doc which prompts you to select an endpoint based on ones added manually by graphql-doc-add-api
  • graphql-doc-open-url which prompts to to manually enter an endpoint url

When using the doc viewer, there are a few bindings for navigating around.

Key Command Description
C-j forward-button Follow a forward button
C-k backward-button Follow a backward button
<backspace> graphql-doc-go-back Go back to a previous page
mouse-1 - Follow the next label under point
RET - Follow the next label under point

Configuration

Most of the "magic" in the module relies on a properly configured .graphqlconfig file, so follow the examples linked to create an appropriate setup.

LSP configuration is handled through GraphQL Config to handle custom directives/documents/validation etc.

These files will also be useful to other editors, so it would be worth trying to get them into version control.
