nim-graphql

Introduction

Enjoy writing graphql service in plain Nim!. You decide when to use more syntactic sugars offered by Nim templates. And you can choose whether you want to use macros or not, we don't impose them to you.

Designed from ground up to be easily tested part by part, you can quickly implement your service while writing a comprehensive test suite for it.

You can choose which transport mechanism to deliver your service. Over http or secure-http, websocket or secure-websocket, ipc or rpc, rawsocket, and OS stdin/stdout. Not all of these mechanisms provided by nim-graphql, but the freedom is there.

If you want to know how to use nim-graphql or how nim-graphql works, the documentation is available here.

Playground

You can play with our playground graphql http server using graphql client such as Altair GraphQL client because currently we don't have time to provide a fancy built in interface for our playground server.

• Using Starwars schema/api.

$ nimble starwars

or

$ nim c -r playground/swserver starwars

• Using Ethereum schema/api.

$ nimble ethereum

or

$ nim c -r playground/swserver ethereum

The server is accessible at this address http://127.0.0.1:8547/graphql

Installation

You can use Nim's official package manager Nimble to install nim-graphql:

$ nimble install https://github.com/status-im/nim-graphql.git

or

$ nimble install graphql

Contributing

When submitting pull requests, please add test cases for any new features or fixes and make sure nimble test is still able to execute the entire test suite successfully.
