README

graphql

A Ruby implementation of GraphQL.

Installation

Install from RubyGems by adding it to your Gemfile, then bundling.

# Gemfile
gem 'graphql'

$ bundle install

Getting Started

$ rails generate graphql:install

After this, you may need to run bundle install again, as by default graphiql-rails is added on installation.

Or, see "Getting Started".

Upgrade

I also sell GraphQL::Pro which provides several features on top of the GraphQL runtime, including Pundit authorization, CanCan authorization, Pusher-based subscriptions and persisted queries. Besides that, Pro customers get email support and an opportunity to support graphql-ruby's development!

Goals

Implement the GraphQL spec & support a Relay front end
Provide idiomatic, plain-Ruby API with similarities to reference implementation where possible
Support Ruby on Rails and Relay
