It provides browseable documentation of your schema, as well as autocomplete and syntax-checking of your queries. ### Accessing the IDE [](#accessing-the-ide) It can be accessed at `/dev/graphql/ide`. This is because GraphQL 4+ has its own `DevelopmentAdmin` controller. The GraphQL v4 version of the module allows you to clear your schema by running `sake graphql:clear`. Security -------- [](#security) By default, the tool has the same restrictions as other development tools like `/dev/build`: - In "dev" mode, it's available without authentication - In "test" and "live" mode, it requires ADMIN permissions - It's installed with `composer require --dev` by default. In most deployment contexts that'll mean it's not available on environments in "test" or "live" modes Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) In most installations of SilverStripe, there are at least two GraphQL servers running - one for the admin (`admin/graphql`) and one for the user space (`/graphql`). By default, only the `default` schema will show, but this is configurable. ### Showing multiple schemas [](#showing-multiple-schemas) You can configure the visible schemas in the controller. Show a select list of schemas ``` SilverStripe\GraphQLDevTools\Controller: # show two schemas schemas: - default - admin # default schema that is selected default_schema: admin ``` Show all schemas ``` SilverStripe\GraphQLDevTools\Controller: # show two schemas schemas: '*' default_schema: default ``` Further, you can override the config in the request, by using `?schema=`, e.g. `http://example.com/dev/graphql/ide?schema=mySchema`. If you're using a custom controller for your GraphQL endpoint ------------------------------------------------------------- [](#if-youre-using-a-custom-controller-for-your-graphql-endpoint) The IDE finds schemas by checking `Director` for routes that map to a `SilverStripe\GraphQL\Controller` instance. If for some reason you're using a custom controller, you might get an error: "Could not find your default schema 'default'. You will need to add one to the `SilverStripe\Control\Director.rules` config setting." To avoid this, you can explicitly map your graphql route to a schema in your Director config: ``` SilverStripe\Control\Director: rules: graphql: Controller: '%$MyCustomController' Schema: default ``` GraphQL schema initialise task ------------------------------ [](#graphql-schema-initialise-task) This module provides a `GraphQLSchemaInitTask` task to initialise a basic GraphQL schema to get you started. It will create configuration files for your schema and a basic resolver. Specifically it will create: - `app/_config/graphql.yml` - `app/_graphql` containing several yml files - `src/GraphQL/Resolvers.php` You must be in CLI mode to use this task To view help for the task to see what options are available: ``` vendor/bin/sake tasks:GraphQLSchemaInitTask --help ``` To run the task with with minimal options: ``` vendor/bin/sake tasks:GraphQLSchemaInitTask --namespace=App ``` Upgrading and maintaining the IDE --------------------------------- [](#upgrading-and-maintaining-the-ide) The library running the IDE is [GraphiQL](https://github.com/graphql/graphiql). It is served from your local environment as an exposed resource, with no CDN dependency and no build chain required. The bundled files are: - `client/react.production.min.js` - `client/react-dom.production.min.js` - `client/graphiql.min.js` - `client/graphiql.min.css` The benefits of this approach are: - It allows offline use - It does not require setting up a build chain or installing NPM dependencies To upgrade GraphiQL, download the new versions from [unpkg.com](https://unpkg.com)and overwrite the files in `client/`. The exact URLs and currently bundled versions are noted in the comment above the `` tags in `templates/DevTools.ss`. ### Health Score 53 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance63 Regular maintenance activity Popularity47 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community34 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor3 3 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
