Please support us by giving the repository a star
npm i -g @tailcallhq/tailcall
yarn global add @tailcallhq/tailcall
brew tap tailcallhq/tailcall
brew install tailcall
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tailcallhq/tailcall/master/install.sh | bash
docker pull ghcr.io/tailcallhq/tailcall/tc-server
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 ghcr.io/tailcallhq/tailcall/tc-server
The below file is a standard .graphQL
file, with a few additions such as @server
and @http
directives. So, basically, we specify the GraphQL schema and how to resolve that GraphQL schema in the same file, without having to write any code!
schema @server(port: 8000, hostname: "0.0.0.0") @upstream(httpCache: 42) {
query: Query
}
type Query {
posts: [Post] @http(url: "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts")
user(id: Int!): User @http(url: "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/{{.args.id}}")
}
type User {
id: Int!
name: String!
username: String!
email: String!
phone: String
website: String
}
type Post {
id: Int!
userId: Int!
title: String!
body: String!
user: User @http(url: "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/{{.value.userId}}")
}
Now, run the following command to start the server with the full path to the jsonplaceholder.graphql file that you created above.
tailcall start ./jsonplaceholder.graphql
