GraphQL API
===========

[](#graphql-api)

Extended/Upgraded implementation of GraphQL. This implementation is a package to be installed on top of the [PoP API](https://github.com/PoP-PoPAPI/api).

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
composer require pop-api/api-graphql
```

Development
-----------

[](#development)

The source code is hosted on the [GatoGraphQL monorepo](https://github.com/GatoGraphQL/GatoGraphQL), under [`API/packages/api-graphql`](https://github.com/GatoGraphQL/GatoGraphQL/tree/master/layers/API/packages/api-graphql).

To enable pretty API endpoint `/api/graphql/`, follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/PoP-PoPAPI/api#enable-pretty-permalinks)

> Note: if you wish to install a fully-working API, please follow the instructions under [Bootstrap a PoP API for WordPress](https://github.com/leoloso/PoP-API-WP) (even though CMS-agnostic, only the WordPress adapters have been presently implemented).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Initialize the component:

```
\PoP\Root\App::stockAndInitializeModuleClasses([([
    \PoPAPI\GraphQLAPI\Module::class,
]);
```

Features
--------

[](#features)

### Automatic namespacing of types

[](#automatic-namespacing-of-types)

Namespaces ([proposed to be added to the GraphQL spec](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-spec/issues/163)) help manage the complexity of the schema. This can avoid different types having the same name, which can happen when embedding components from a 3rd party.

This is how the normal schema looks like in the GraphQL Voyager:

[![Interactive schema](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GatoGraphQL/GatoGraphQL/97b3b048d7c68da4f10ab1dcb31c0215cc6cc526/layers/API/packages/api-graphql/assets/images/normal-interactive-schema.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GatoGraphQL/GatoGraphQL/97b3b048d7c68da4f10ab1dcb31c0215cc6cc526/layers/API/packages/api-graphql/assets/images/normal-interactive-schema.png)

This is how it looks in its namespaced version:

[![Namespaced interactive schema](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GatoGraphQL/GatoGraphQL/97b3b048d7c68da4f10ab1dcb31c0215cc6cc526/layers/API/packages/api-graphql/assets/images/namespaced-interactive-schema.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GatoGraphQL/GatoGraphQL/97b3b048d7c68da4f10ab1dcb31c0215cc6cc526/layers/API/packages/api-graphql/assets/images/namespaced-interactive-schema.png)

### Field/directive-based versioning

[](#fielddirective-based-versioning)

Fields and directives can be independently versioned, and the version to use can be specified in the query through the field/directive argument `versionConstraint`.

To select the version for the field/directive, we use the same [semver version constraints employed by Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/versions.md#writing-version-constraints).

Standards
---------

[](#standards)

[PSR-1](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-1), [PSR-4](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4) and [PSR-12](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-12).

To check the coding standards via [PHP CodeSniffer](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer), run:

```

```
composer fix-style
```
