Reasoning

I've tried to run few graphQL clients with hasura, all of them required conversion of the data into the appropriate structures, causing issues with non-existing types ( thanks to Hasura ), for example bigint which was difficult to export. Therefore, I present you the simple client to which you can copy & paste your graphQL query, variables and you are good to go.

Features

• Executing GraphQL queries as they are, without types declaration
• Compressing produced queries
• Support for additional headers
• Support for gzip compression ( built into Hasura )

Usage example

Setting GraphQL endpoint

You can set the endpoint variable within your code

gql.GraphQLUrl = "http://127.0.0.1:9090/v1/graphql"

or as an environment variable GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:9090/v1/graphql

Example reader code

import (
  fmt
  gql "github.com/lukaszraczylo/simple-gql-client"
)

headers := map[string]interface{}{
  "x-hasura-user-id":   37,
  "x-hasura-user-uuid": "bde3262e-b42e-4151-ac10-d43f0bef44a5",
}

variables := map[string]interface{}{
"fileHash": "123deadc0w321",
}
var query = `query searchFileKnown($fileHash: String) {
  tbl_file_scans(where: {file_hash: {_eq: $fileHash}}) {
  	porn
  	racy
  	violence
  	virus
  }
}`
result, err := Query(query, variables, nil)
if err != nil {
  fmt.Println("Query error", err)
  return
}
fmt.Println(result)
`
result := Query(query, variables, headers)
fmt.Println(result)

Result

{"tbl_user_group_admins":[{"id":109,"is_admin":1}]}

Working with results

I'm using an amazing library tidwall/gjson to parse the results and extract information required in further steps and I strongly recommend this approach as the easiest and close to painless.

result = gjson.Get(result, "tbl_user_group_admins.0.is_admin").Bool()
if result {
  fmt.Println("User is an admin")
}
