Golang GraphiQL

An utility wrote on Go for using GraphiQL without need to use NPM.

Try the live demo.

Getting started

To install the library, run

go get -u github.com/friendsofgo/graphiql

To build graphi's CLI you must run

make build-cli

This will generate a binary in the project's bin directory called graphiql. You can then move this binary to anywhere in your PATH.

Use GraphiQL on your own server

If you've a GraphQL server on GO and you want to include the GraphiQL on it, it's as simple as this:

package main

import(
	"net/http"
	"github.com/friendsofgo/graphiql"
)

func main() {
	
	graphiqlHandler, err := graphiql.NewGraphiqlHandler("/graphql")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	
	http.HandleFunc("/graphql", myGraphQLHandler)
	http.Handle("/graphiql", graphiqlHandler)
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}

Use GraphiQL standalone

If you want launch GraphiQL for use on your GraphQL API but you don't want include it in your own project you can launch your own GraphiQL Server:

package main

import(
	"net/http"
	"github.com/friendsofgo/graphiql"
)

func main() {
	graphiqlHandler, err := graphiql.NewGraphiqlHandler("http://localhost:8080/graphql")
	if err != nil {
    		panic(err)
	}
    	
	
	http.Handle("/graphiql", graphiqlHandler)
	http.ListenAndServe(":4040", nil)
}

CLI

Yo can use graphiql as command

$ graphiql --help
usage: graphiql [-version] [OPTIONS]
        graphiql is an standalone server to use Graphiql, based on https://github.com/graphql/graphiql

  -port string
        Port where will be launched the GraphiQL client (default "4040")

And it'll launch a GraphiQL server

2018/11/24 17:10:36 GraphQL endpoint http://localhost:8080/graphql
2018/11/24 17:10:36 Use (ctrl+c) to terminate the execution

Docker

The application is also available through Docker, just run:

docker run -it --rm -p 4040:4040 friendsofgo/graphiql
