PostGraphile Releases Version 4.10 - Framework Friends
Announced 2020-11-27 by Team Graphile
Graphile is pleased to announce the release of PostGraphile version 4.10, an upgrade introducing better support for various Node.js webserver frameworks, an upgraded GraphiQL and GraphiQL Explorer, and improvements added by our community members.
Improved Framework Support
The major feature in this release is vastly improved support for various Node.js webserver frameworks, including: Node itself, Connect, Express, Koa, Fastify (v2 and v3), and Restify. This also fixes some long-standing compatibility issues with certain Koa plugins.
To accomplish this, we've split the middleware into separate route handlers for each of our routes, and you can either use the middleware to delegate to these (where the framework allows), or you can add the route handlers directly. You can find documentation in our library usage page and can see examples in our new server examples folder: https://github.com/graphile/postgraphile/tree/v4/examples/servers
Upgraded PostGraphiQL
The GraphiQL upgrade provides a dedicated headers editor panel next to the variables editor, which replaces the old proof-of-concept sidebar. It also adds new "Merge Query" and "Copy Query" buttons to the enhanced GraphiQL which may ease development or debugging flows. The Explorer pane is now much smoother and better looking too!
Community member @eddiewang also added the ability to configure credentials for GraphiQL. We appreciate additions from our community; if you wish to see a particular feature in one of the Graphile projects, we encourage you to open an issue or pull request with details. See our Contribution Guide for some important information before going ahead and writing a new feature.
GraphQL v15
GraphQL v15 compatibility has finally been added - you should review the changes for yourself and pin GraphQL v14 if there are any breaking changes in your projects.
