Graphpinator Symfony PHP codecov

⚑🌐⚑ Graphpinator adapters and addons for Symfony framework.

Introduction

This package includes adapters and tools to easily integrate Graphpinator into a Symfony application.

Installation

Install package using composer

composer require graphpql/graphpinator-symfony

How to use

Register a bundle

Add a bundle entry to the bundles.php. Currently the bundle is only used for an access to the twig namespace, so this step can be ommited when the rendering actions will not be used.

Graphpinator\Symfony\GraphpinatorBundle::class => ['all' => true],

Configure dependency injection

At first we need to configure Symfony to find all our types and tag them, so we can inject them into our type registry.

services:
    # Find and register all types into the DI container
    App\GraphQL\Default\Types\:
        resource: '../src/GraphQL/Default/Types'
        public: true # not needed when you do not have any accessors (see the cyclic dependencies section of this documentation)
        tags:
            - 'graphql.default.types'
    # Find and register all directives into the DI container
    App\GraphQL\Default\Directives\:
        resource: '../src/GraphQL/Default/Directives'
        tags:
            - 'graphql.default.directives'

    # Any additional types must be also registred and tagged to become available in the type container
    Graphpinator\ExtraTypes\EmailAddressType:
        tags:
            - 'graphql.default.types'
    Graphpinator\ExtraTypes\UrlType:
        tags:
            - 'graphql.default.types'

Create a specific Container service for each schema and instruct the DI to inject it with the types and directives using the tags we configured.

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

namespace App\GraphQL\Default;

use Graphpinator\SimpleContainer;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Attribute\TaggedIterator;

final class Container extends SimpleContainer
{
    public function __construct(
        #[TaggedIterator('graphql.default.types')]
        iterable $types,
        #[TaggedIterator('graphql.default.directives')]
        iterable $directives,
    )
    {
        parent::__construct([...$types], [...$directives]);
    }
}

Create a Schema service.

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

namespace App\GraphQL\Default;

use App\GraphQL\Default\Container;
use Graphpinator\Typesystem\Schema as BaseSchema;

final class Schema extends BaseSchema
{
    public function __construct(Container $container)
    {
        parent::__construct($container, $container->getType('Query'), $container->getType('Mutation'));

        // You may also configure the schema there
        $this->setDescription('My GraphQL API');
    }
}

Now the Schema is set up and can be used to execute requests on it.

Cyclic dependendencies

When using abstract types, the cyclic dependencies must be avoided using accessors. In Symfony we need to create a simple service to extract the types from a container.

final class CandidateAccessor
{
    public function __construct(private \Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface $container)
    {
    }

    public function slideSingle() : SlideSingle
    {
        return $this->container->get(SlideSingle::class);
    }

    public function slideDouble() : SlideDouble
    {
        return $this->container->get(SlideDouble::class);
    }

    public function slideTriple() : SlideTriple
    {
        return $this->container->get(SlideTriple::class);
    }
}

Configure the accessor service to recieve the DI container as an argument.

services:
    SlideAccessor:
        arguments:
            $container: '@service_container'

This service is than injected into the abstract type instead of the concrete types in order to break the dependency cycle.

Multiple schemas

Some more sophisticated applications may require to host multiple different GraphQL schemas with different purposes. In the example above we used only the default schema, but the same principle can be replicated and applied to any number of schemas within a single application.

GraphQLController

Simple version of a controller to execute GraphQL API requests against a given schema. It also includes a actions and templates for a schema overview and GraphiQL integration. It can be extended to alter its functionality (for example by overriding the getEnabledModules function) or it can serve as an inspiration to include the functionality in your own controllers.

Create a custom controller in your application which inherits the functionalities from the provided one.

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

namespace App\Controller\GraphQL;

use App\GraphQL\Default\Schema;
use Graphpinator\Symfony\GraphQLController;
use Psr\Cache\CacheItemPoolInterface;
use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Attribute\Route;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Generator\UrlGeneratorInterface;

#[Route('/graphql/default', name: 'graphql_default_')]
final class DefaultGraphQlController extends GraphQLController
{
    public function __construct(Schema $schema, LoggerInterface $logger, CacheItemPoolInterface $cache, UrlGeneratorInterface $urlGenerator)
    {
        parent::__construct($schema, $logger, $cache, $urlGenerator);
    }
}

The base controller handles 5 actions:

  • OPTIONS / to handle CORS
  • GET or POST / which handles the GraphQL requests
  • GET /schema which renders the schema in a GraphQL typesystem language
  • GET /schema.graphql which returns the schema in a GraphQL typesystem language as a file attachment
  • GET /ui which renders GraphiQL, a graphical interface to interact with your schema.

Adapters

  • \Graphpinator\Symfony\RequestFactory
    • Implements RequestFactory and enables direct creation of \Graphpinator\Request\Request from Symfony HTTP abstraction.
  • \Graphpinator\Symfony\FileProvider
    • Implements FileProvider interface needed by infinityloop-dev/graphpinator-upload module.
  • \Graphpinator\Symfony\ConstraintDirectiveAccessor
    • Implements ConstraintDirectiveAccessor interface needed by infinityloop-dev/graphpinator-constraint-directives.
    • Needs to be manually added to the services.yaml using following configuration:
      services:
          Graphpinator\ConstraintDirectives\ConstraintDirectiveAccessor:
              class: 'Graphpinator\Symfony\ConstraintDirectiveAccessor'
              arguments:
                  $container: '@service_container'
