Overview

About

Server implementation of 'GraphQL' http://spec.graphql.org/, a query language originally created by Facebook for describing data requirements on complex application data models. Visit https://graphql.org to learn more about 'GraphQL'.

Changes in 0.1.0

Breaking changes

  • execute_request() now requires operation_name, variables, and initial_value to be named arguments, as ... has been added ahead of these parameters (#11).
  • server() now requires log and initial_value to be named arguments, as ... has been added ahead of these parameters (#11).
  • server()'s / route now redirects to /graphiql only when graphiql = TRUE (#11).

New features

  • execute_request() gains a verbose_errors argument. When TRUE, error-like messages are displayed in real time. By default, this is TRUE when run interactively (#11).
Show all changes in 0.1.0Hide the rest of the changes in 0.1.0
  • server() now supports GraphiQL, an interactive GraphQL IDE. To view the GraphiQL interface, run gqlr::server(MY_SCHEMA, graphiql = TRUE) and visit http://localhost:8000/graphiql/. By default, GraphiQL support is only enabled when run interactively (#11).

Bug fixes and minor improvements

  • The pryr package dependency has been removed, as the package is being archived. Required functions (modify_lang(), make_function(), unenclose(), substitute_q()) have been copied into the package (#16).
  • Introspection now correctly returns subscriptionType as NULL to indicate that subscriptions are not supported (#11).
  • Mutation execution now correctly uses the mutation operation for validation, rather than incorrectly using the query operation (#9).
  • The __typename meta field is no longer attached to object structures (#11).
