GraphQL with rack?

[joshleblanc]

The GraphQL example starts its own server. I'm wondering if I can stick something in a config.ru file to accomplish the same thing.

require 'agoo'


map '/graphql' { run Agoo::GraphQL(some_schema) }

Or something

If I understand correctly you would like to see something like the example/graphql/app.rb but be able to start with Rack. Is that correct?

[joshleblanc]

I don't see a example/grahpql/app.rb, so I'm not sure.

If you mean the one in the readme, then yes.

[ohler55]

oh, my mistake. My local copy only. Let me clean up and push. If you are looking for a config.ru file let me see if I can propose something.

[ohler55]

Pushed app.rb to the develop branch. It looks like I'll have to make a change or two to use just a config.ru file. I'll get that started though.

[ohler55]

I was trying to come up with some way to keep the configuration all in the config.ru file but finally settled on having the rackup invocation use the -O option. In the rack branch there is a new example in example/graphql/config.ru. The command to run assuming you want to use the local code for testing is rackup -I ../../ext -I ../../lib -r agoo -s agoo -Ographql=/graphql. Let me know if you have any suggested changes or additions. I'll wait for your feedback before releasing.

[joshleblanc]

I don't know how the underlying systems work, but I would expect to do something like

# config.ru
map('/graphql') { run Agoo::Graphql.app }

Looking through the examples, it looks like the graphql server is actually integrated with Agoo::Server, so maybe that's not possible.

[ohler55]

Yes, the graphql server is integrated into the server.

[ohler55]

Does the approach taken seem reasonable to you as a Rack user?

[joshleblanc]

Should be fine. Every server has their own way of leveraging rack.

[ohler55]

Released.

[ohler55]

No complaints, closing.

I hope it is ok to reopen this issue.

I have been thinking about using the graphQL implementation in a Rails app. To do this I'll have to mount a graphQL schema inside the rails routes as a rack app:

Rails.application.routes.draw do mount Agoo::GraphQL.schema(Schema.new), at: '/graphql' end

Could this be possible?

My goal would be to write an extensible schema for an existing ruby on rails cms.

[ohler55]

Better to create a separate issue. There might be a better way to set up the routes than using the rails router. We can discuss to make sure I'm not missing something.

Ok, thanks! I just opened #93
