Mongoose
Mongoose (MongoDB) adapter for GraphQL.
graffiti-mongoose
generates GraphQL
types and schemas from your existing mongoose
models, that's how simple it is. The generated schema is compatible with Relay.
For quick jump check out the Usage section.
Install
npm install graphql @risingstack/graffiti-mongoose --save
Example
Check out the /example folder.
cd graffiti-mongoose
npm install # install dependencies in the main folder
cd example
npm install # install dependencies in the example folder
npm start # run the example application and open your browser: http://localhost:8080
Usage
This adapter is written in ES6
and ES7
with Babel but it's published as transpiled ES5
JavaScript code to npm
, which means you don't need ES7
support in your application to run it.
Example queries can be found in the example folder.
usual mongoose model(s)
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
// field description
description: 'the full name of the user'
},
hiddenField: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now,
// the field is hidden, not available in GraphQL
hidden: true
},
age: {
type: Number,
indexed: true
},
friends: [{
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'User'
}]
});
const User = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
export default User;
graffiti-mongoose
import {getSchema} from '@risingstack/graffiti-mongoose';
import graphql from 'graphql';
import User from './User';
const options = {
mutation: false, // mutation fields can be disabled
allowMongoIDMutation: false // mutation of mongo _id can be enabled
};
const schema = getSchema([User], options);
const query = `{
users(age: 28) {
name
friends(first: 2) {
edges {
cursor
node {
name
age
}
}
pageInfo {
startCursor
endCursor
hasPreviousPage
hasNextPage
}
}
}
}`;
graphql(schema, query)
.then((result) => {
console.log(result);
});
Supported mongoose types
- Number
- String
- Boolean
- Date
- [Number]
- [String]
- [Boolean]
- [Date]
- ObjectId with ref (reference to other document, populate)
Supported query types
- query
- singular: for example
user
- plural: for example
users
- node: takes a single argument, a unique
!ID
, and returns aNode
- viewer: singular and plural queries as fields
- singular: for example
Supported query arguments
- indexed fields
- "id" on singular type
- array of "id"s on plural type
Which means, you are able to filter like below, if the age is indexed in your mongoose model:
users(age: 19) {}
user(id: "mongoId1") {}
user(id: "relayId") {}
users(id: ["mongoId", "mongoId2"]) {}
users(id: ["relayId1", "relayId2"]) {}
Supported mutation types
- mutation
- addX: for example
addUser
- updateX: for example
updateUser
- deleteX: for example
deleteUser
- addX: for example
Supported mutation arguments
- scalar types
- arrays
- references
Examples:
mutation addX {
addUser(input: {name: "X", age: 11, clientMutationId: "1"}) {
changedUserEdge {
node {
id
name
}
}
}
}
mutation updateX {
updateUser(input: {id: "id=", age: 10, clientMutationId: "2"}) {
changedUser {
id
name
age
}
}
}
mutation deleteX {
deleteUser(input: {id: "id=", clientMutationId: "3"}) {
ok
}
}
Resolve hooks
You can specify pre- and post-resolve hooks on fields in order to manipulate arguments and data passed in to the database resolve function, and returned by the GraphQL resolve function.
You can add hooks to type fields and query fields (singular & plural queries, mutations) too.
By passing arguments to the next
function, you can modify the parameters of the next hook or the return value of the resolve
function.
Examples:
- Query, mutation hooks (
viewer
,singular
,plural
,mutation
)
const hooks = {
viewer: {
pre: (next, root, args, request) => {
// authorize the logged in user based on the request
authorize(request);
next();
},
post: (next, value) => {
console.log(value);
next();
}
},
// singular: {
// pre: (next, root, args, context) => next(),
// post: (next, value, args, context) => next()
// },
// plural: {
// pre: (next, root, args, context) => next(),
// post: (next, value, args, context) => next()
// },
// mutation: {
// pre: (next, args, context) => next(),
// post: (next, value, args, context) => next()
// }
};
const schema = getSchema([User], {hooks});
- Field hooks
const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
hooks: {
pre: (next, root, args, request) => {
// authorize the logged in user based on the request
// throws error if the user has no right to request the user names
authorize(request);
next();
},
// manipulate response
post: [
(next, name) => next(`${name} first hook`),
(next, name) => next(`${name} & second hook`)
]
}
}
});
query UsersQuery {
viewer {
users(first: 1) {
edges {
node {
name
}
}
}
}
}
{
"data": {
"viewer": {
"users": {
"edges": [
{
"node": {
"name": "User0 first hook & second hook"
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
