Colja

A Symfony bundle to provide GraphQL functionality (by the use of Siler). Per default GraphQL requests (method POST) will be handled on request-uri /graphql.

Schema

There has to be defined one basic schema file in GraphQL Schema Definition Language (SDL). The path to this file has to be configured in the d_mo_colja.yaml-file (see here).

The basic schema file can be extended by multiple more files (see here).

To link a query or mutation (field) from the schema to a resolver callable in php you have to configure a classname and a method with the specified fieldname

Resolvers

A class which contains field resolvers, must extend the Class DMo\Colja\GraphQL\AbstractResolver. This is because the ResolverManager will be injected into each Resolver, so through this you will be able to get the symfony controller and container.

All Resolvers (callable functions) can be defined to expect four parameters:

$root
$args
$context
$info

The most important parameter is the second one: $args. It contains all arguments passed to a field.

Each Resolver can return a scalar value or an associative array. The array values can contain scalars or function references which act as field resolvers by themselves.

All field values which need to be "lazy-loaded" must be defined as resolver, because a resolver will only be called if the corresponding field was requested in a query. You can also realize recursive data structures with this technique (see example here).

GET-Requests

By default this bundle only supports the request method POST. But you can easily add support for the method GET. Just place the following in the routes.yaml of your symfony project:

d_mo_colja_endpoint_get:
    path:       /graphql
    controller: DMo\Colja\Controller\GraphQLController::endpoint
    methods:    GET
