Graphile Build: high-performance pluggable GraphQL schema tools
Prefer building your GraphQL APIs by hand? By using our look-ahead feature your code can know what's coming and make sure it requests the correct fields ahead of time, leading to fewer round-trips and higher performance. Our plugin architecture allows you to extend or enhance your GraphQL API as your needs evolve over time, and use community-built plugins to increase developer productivity.
graphql:
const MyType =
new GraphQLObjectType({
name: 'MyType',
fields: {
// ...
graphile-build:
const MyType =
newWithHooks(GraphQLObjectType, {
name: 'MyType',
fields: {
// ...
Fully GraphQL compatible
Graphile uses the reference GraphQL implementation under the hood, so you know it's spec compliant. This also means you can mix it into existing GraphQL APIs, or mix existing GraphQL object types into it (so long as they use the reference GraphQL implementation too).
PostGraphile supports GraphQL best practices, including: cursor-based connection pagination, global object identification, and the Relay Input Object Mutations Specification; plus it's built on Graphile Build technology so it can be expanded using Graphile Build plugins.
