graphqlc GoDoc Build Status Go Report Card

Low-level GraphQL client for Go. This project was forked from machinebox's repo and includes some breaking changes, so some assembly is required if you are migrating from there.

  • Simple, familiar API
  • Respects context.Context timeouts and cancellation
  • Build and execute any kind of GraphQL request
  • Use strong Go types for response data
  • Use variables and upload files
  • Simple error handling
  • (Coming soon!) Subscriptions

Installation

Make sure you have a working Go environment. To install graphql, simply run:

$ go get github.com/leonardacademy/graphqlc

Usage

import "context"

// create a client (safe to share across requests)
client := graphqlc.NewClient("https://machinebox.io/graphql")

// make a request
req := graphqlc.NewRequest(`
        query ($key: String!) {
            items (id:$key) {
                field1
                field2
                field3
            }
        }
`)

// set any variables
req.Var("key", "value")

// set header fields
req.Header.Set("Cache-Control", "no-cache")

// define a Context for the request
ctx := context.Background()

// run it and capture the response
var respData ResponseStruct
if err := client.Run(ctx, req, &respData); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

File support via multipart form data

By default, the package will send a JSON body. When files are included, the package transparently uses multipart form data instead.

Thanks

Thanks to Machinebox for creating the initial plugin.
