<p align="center"><img src="docs/img/logo.png" width="300"></p>

The goal of this project is to provide full support of the [GraphQL draft specification](https://facebook.github.io/graphql/draft) with a set of idiomatic, easy to use Go packages.

While still under heavy development (`internal` APIs are almost certainly subject to change), this library is
safe for production use.

## Features

- minimal API
- support for `context.Context`
- support for the `OpenTracing` standard
- schema type-checking against resolvers
- resolvers are matched to the schema based on method sets (can resolve a GraphQL schema with a Go interface or Go struct).
- handles panics in resolvers
- parallel execution of resolvers

## Roadmap

We're trying out the GitHub Project feature to manage `graphql-go`'s [development roadmap](https://github.com/graph-gophers/graphql-go/projects/1).
Feedback is welcome and appreciated.

## (Some) Documentation

### Basic Sample

```go
package main

import (
        "log"
        "net/http"

        graphql "github.com/graph-gophers/graphql-go"
        "github.com/graph-gophers/graphql-go/relay"
)

type query struct{}

func (_ *query) Hello() string { return "Hello, world!" }

func main() {
        s := `
                schema {
                        query: Query
                }
                type Query {
                        hello: String!
                }
        `
        schema := graphql.MustParseSchema(s, &query{})
        http.Handle("/query", &relay.Handler{Schema: schema})
        log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))
}
```

To test:
```sh
$ curl -XPOST -d '{"query": "{ hello }"}' localhost:8080/query
```

### Resolvers

A resolver must have one method for each field of the GraphQL type it resolves. The method name has to be [exported](https://golang.org/ref/spec#Exported_identifiers) and match the field's name in a non-case-sensitive way.

The method has up to two arguments:

- Optional `context.Context` argument.
- Mandatory `*struct { ... }` argument if the corresponding GraphQL field has arguments. The names of the struct fields have to be [exported](https://golang.org/ref/spec#Exported_identifiers) and have to match the names of the GraphQL arguments in a non-case-sensitive way.

The method has up to two results:

- The GraphQL field's value as determined by the resolver.
- Optional `error` result.

Example for a simple resolver method:

```go
func (r *helloWorldResolver) Hello() string {
	return "Hello world!"
}
```

The following signature is also allowed:

```go
func (r *helloWorldResolver) Hello(ctx context.Context) (string, error) {
	return "Hello world!", nil
}
```
