Add some documentation

[manishrjain]

Hi, I'm planning to use your implementation of GraphQL in Go. I couldn't find any convenient starting points to figure out how to play with this. Can you add some examples in your README? Or, via Golang test usages.

I have a MVP level execution engine ready to serve Graph data. So, if you want to collaborate in some way, that'll be great.

Hi Manishrjain,

You could take a look on my example https://github.com/thanhliem89dn/graphql-go/tree/master/examples/http. I port this from original graphql site http://graphql.org/docs/getting-started/ . So you can look deeper by follow official graphql site
Thanks

Hi guys

@manishrjain Thanks for taking your time to look into using this package for your project 👍🏻
Right now, this project is still in its infancy, and welcome more contribution from the community.
And documentation still needs a lot of work at the moment.

Like @thanhliem89dn mentioned, his example would be a great starting point (related PR #21)

Other great places to start:

• Tests files: for e.g. graphql_test.go. Most of the public API have corresponding tests.
• Go examples in awesome-graphql. Time to time, I try to add examples that use graphql-go into the awesome list compiled by @chentsulin.
  Currently, here are some examples:
  • golang-relay-starter-kit - Barebones starting point for a Relay application with Golang GraphQL server.
  • golang-graphql-playground - An example Golang GraphQL server written with graphql-go and graphql-relay-go. Try live demo at: http://bit.ly/try-graphql-go
  • todomvc-relay-go - Port of the React/Relay TodoMVC app, driven by a Golang GraphQL backend.
• Mutation example by @bbuck
• I've written a couple of posts on getting started with golang + graphql using graphql-go (also listed on awesome-graphql
  • Learn Golang + GraphQL + Relay, Part 1: Your first Golang GraphQL server
  • Learn Golang + GraphQL + Relay, Part 2: Your first Relay application

I think moving on we can figure out:

• what examples we could provide to best grow and serve the community
• how we make it easier for users to start picking up graphql-go

Hope this helps you @manishrjain
Cheers!

With PR #21 and PR #52 merged, together with the various improvements in the README.md, we'll considered this issue as resolved.

Feel free to re-open if you feel that your original concern has not been addressed.

Cheers!
