It currently supports generating namespaced class file. The tool is interfaced through a CLI. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - **PHP 5.6** or higher. - Composer Installation ------------ [](#installation) The repository can be cloned in order to gain access to the GraphQL generator. ``` git clone https://github.com/kronostechnologies/graphql-generator.git composer install ``` Examples -------- [](#examples) The [examples](./examples) source directory contains some graphqls schema examples on which you can run the tool against. ### Simple schema generation [](#simple-schema-generation) To generate class files from a valid graphqls file, run the following command: ``` php graphqlgen generate-classes ./examples/base.graphqls ./base ``` The output files will appear in the `base` directory. Testing ------- [](#testing) Run unit tests with PHPUnit 5.7. ``` phpunit ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) You can run the CLI tool with the following command: ``` php graphqlgen generate-classes [options] [--] ``` Arguments are: - *input*: A .graphqls file to use as input. - *targetdir*: A directory in which to generate the classes. Available options are: - `--writer=WRITER`: Type of writer with which to output the files. Default is namespaced. - Namespaced Writer: A class will be generated for each type definition under `Types\Enums` for enum types, `Types\Input` for input types, `Types\Interfaces` for interface types, `Types\Scalars` for scalar types, `Types\Unions` for union types, and `Types` for standard types. Per-directory namespacing standard will be respected. - `--stubs-dir`: This is a directory containing the stub files. - `--overwrite`: If this flag is set, the writer will attempt to override the files. If not, a warning will be thrown when an existing file is found. - `--formatter-use-tabs`: If this flag is set, the PHP ouput file formatter will use tabs instead of spaces for indentation. - `--formatter-indent-spaces`: If not using tabs for the formatter, this is the number of spaces per indent block. Default is 4. - `--formatter-line-merge`: When descriptions are written on multiple lines in a .graphqls file, they are merged with the specified character. Default is `,`. ### Namespaced Writer [](#namespaced-writer) Although the namespaced writer is currently the only writer supported, it comes with a few options bundled: - `--namespaced-target-namespace`: If using the namespaced Writer, the given namespace will be prefixed. This does not alter the target directory structure. #### Additional files [](#additional-files) In addition to generating the type definitions for each type, the following files are generated. All types are statically initialized in the *TypeStore*. This helps ensure only a single instance of a type definition throughout the application. The properties of each type are stored independently in a *DTO*. TypeStore location: ``` \TypeStore ``` For *input* types, and *Union* types, a *resolver* is created. This file is intended to be editable by the user of this tool, and to split the type definition from the actual code. The resolvers are initialized through the `ResolverFactory`. This allows passing external values to the resolvers constructors. Resolvers namespace format: ``` Resolvers\Types\[TypeCategory]\TypeName ``` Additionally, for *input* types, a *DTO* is created. DTO serve as a data structure that should ultimately be returned by the resolver functions. It is important to separate these concerns as a type definition can only exist once (hence the need of a TypeStore), but a DTO can exist multiple times throughout the application. DTO namespace format: ``` DTO\Types\[TypeCategory]\TypeName ``` *Interfaces* use composition instead of inheritance due to GraphQL being able to implement multiple of them. They are declared in two components: a trait, and a bare class implementing this trait. The trait contains all members. #### Stub Files [](#stub-files) The stub files are used as a boilerplate for generating the files of a specific GraphQL type. For the namespaced Writer, the files required are the same ones in [src/Generator/Writer/Namespaced/stubs](./src/Generator/Writer/Namespaced/stubs). For example, an interface type will use `interface.stub` as its base file for generating the class. The following types are matched: - Enums: `enum.stub` - Interfaces: `interface.stub` - Inputs: `input.stub` - Object: `object.stub` - Scalar: `scalar.stub` - Unions: `union.stub` Additionally, `typestore.stub` is matched to the `TypeStore`, `dto.stub` to DTOs, and `resolver.stub` to resolvers. See [src/Generator/Writer/Namespaced/stubs](./src/Generator/Writer/Namespaced/stubs) for the stub files content. Mutations --------- [](#mutations) Mutations are currently ignored when generating the GraphQL files. As these mostly imply logical operations, you will need to implement the resolve functions yourself. ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 49% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity59 Maturing project, gaining track record How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
