ActiveGraphql

GraphQL client which allows to interact with graphql using ActiveRecord-like API

Detailed documentation can be found at https://samesystem.github.io/active_graphql

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'active_graphql'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install active_graphql

You can fetch data from GraphQL in two different ways: using ActiveGraphql::Client or using ActiveGraphql::Model

ActiveGraphql::Client is a client which allows you to make requests using ruby-friendly code:

client = ActiveGraphql::Client.new(url: 'https://example.com/graphql')

client.query(:findUser).inputs(id: 1).outputs(:name, :avatar_url).result
# or same request with AR-style syntax
client.query(:findUser).select(:name, :avatar_url).where(id: 1).result

If you have well structured GraphQL endpoint, which has CRUD actions for each entity then you can interact with GraphQL endpoints using ActiveGraphql::Model. It allows you to have separate class for separate GraphQL entity, Here is an example:

Suppose you have following endpoints in graphql:

• users(filter: UsersFilter!) - index action with filtering possibilities
• user(id: ID!) - show action

In this case you can create ruby class like this:

class User
  include ActiveGraphql::Model

  active_graphql do |c|
    c.url('http://example.com/graphql')
    c.attributes :id, :first_name, :last_name, :created_at
  end
end

with this small setup you are able to do following:

User.where(first_name: 'John').to_a # list all users with name "John"
User.limit(5).to_a # list first 5 users
User.find(1) # find user with ID: 1
User.first(2) # find first 2 users
User.last(3) # find last 3 users
