loopback-graphql-ext (WIP)

Executing queries on loopback models using GraphQL. This gives you intellisense while forming queries in GraphiQL. See Sample Project

Installation

npm install loopback-graphql-ext

• Call init() before application starts (AND after loopback boot is over)

var app = loopback();
.... some other code
var graphqlExt = require('loopback-graphql-ext');
graphqlExt.init(app); //app is loopback application

• Start loopback application as you usually do
• Access GraphQL end point on

http://localhost:3000/graphiql

What works so far

• where filter
• fields filter
• Limit filter
• Skip filter
• Order filter

Refer to Examples. It is implemented in loopback sample project

Limitations

• gt/gte/lt/lte/inq etc operators becomes 'keywords' and cannot be part of model property
• Major problem I am facing is to implement flexibility when object can be a string or array. Eg include, order etc

Upcoming Features

• Making it component so you don't have to initialize from code
• Include filter
• Mutation
• Date type support
• Authentication/Authorization using Access Token
