[gqlgen](https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen) is a Go library for building GraphQL servers without any fuss. gqlgen is:

- **Schema first** — Define your API using the GraphQL [Schema Definition Language](http://graphql.org/learn/schema/).
- **Type safe** — You should never see `map[string]interface{}` here.
- **Codegen** — Let us generate the boring bits, so you can build your app quickly.

### How do I prevent fetching child objects that might not be used?

When you have nested or recursive schema like this:

```graphql
type User {
id: ID!
name: String!
friends: [User!]!
id: ID!
name: String!
friends: [User!]!
}
```

You need to tell gqlgen that we should only fetch friends if the user requested it. There are two ways to do this.

1. Write the model yourself and leave off friends.
#### Custom Models

Write a custom model that omits the Friends model:

```go
type User struct {
Id int
Name string
ID int
Name string
}
```

And reference the model in `gqlgen.yml`:

```yaml
# gqlgen.yml
models:
User:
model: github.com/you/pkg/model.User # go import path to the User struct above
```

2. Keep using the generated model, and mark the field as requiring a resolver explicitly
#### Explicit Resolvers

If you want to Keep using the generated model: mark the field as requiring a resolver explicitly in `gqlgen.yml`:

```yaml
# gqlgen.yml

```

After doing either of the above and running generate we will need to provide a resolver for friends:

```go
func (r *userResolver) Friends(ctx context.Context, obj *User) ([]*User, error) {
// select * from user where friendid = obj.ID
return friends, nil
// select * from user where friendid = obj.ID
return friends, nil
}
```

### IDs are strings but I like ints, why cant I have ints?

You can by remapping it in config:

```yaml
models:
ID: # The GraphQL type ID is backed by
model:
- github.com/99designs/gqlgen/graphql.IntID # An go integer
- github.com/99designs/gqlgen/graphql.ID # or a go string
- github.com/99designs/gqlgen/graphql.IntID # An go integer
- github.com/99designs/gqlgen/graphql.ID # or a go string
```

This means gqlgen will be able to automatically bind to strings or ints for models you have written yourself, but the
first model in this list is used as the default type and it will always be used when:
- generating models based on schema
- as arguments in resolvers

- Generating models based on schema
- As arguments in resolvers

There isnt any way around this, gqlgen has no way to know what you want in a given context.

Graphql server has an already built-in Upload scalar to upload files using a multipart request. \
It implements the following spec https://github.com/jaydenseric/graphql-multipart-request-spec,
that defines an interoperable multipart form field structure for GraphQL requests, used by
various file upload client implementations.

To use it you need to add the Upload scalar in your schema, and it will automatically add the
marshalling behaviour to Go types.

# Configuration

There are two specific options that can be configured for uploading files:

- uploadMaxSize \
This option specifies the maximum number of bytes used to parse a request body as multipart/form-data.
This option specifies the maximum number of bytes used to parse a request body as multipart/form-data.
- uploadMaxMemory \
This option specifies the maximum number of bytes used to parse a request body as
multipart/form-data in memory, with the remainder stored on disk in temporary files.

## Writing a plugin

There are currently only two hooks:
- MutateConfig: Allows a plugin to mutate the config before codegen starts. This allows plugins to add
custom directives, define types, and implement resolvers. see
[modelgen](https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen/tree/master/plugin/modelgen) for an example
- GenerateCode: Allows a plugin to generate a new output file, see
[stubgen](https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen/tree/master/plugin/stubgen) for an example

Take a look at [plugin.go](https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen/blob/master/plugin/plugin.go) for the full list of
available hooks. These are likely to change with each release.

## Built-in helpers

gqlgen ships with some built-in helpers for common custom scalar use-cases, `Time`, `Any`, `Upload` and `Map`. Adding any of these to a schema will automatically add the marshalling behaviour to Go types.
