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

# Gemfile
gem 'graphql'

$ bundle install

# Declare a type...
PostType = GraphQL::ObjectType.define do
  name "Post"
  description "A blog post"

  field :id, !types.ID
  field :title, !types.String
  field :body, !types.String
  field :comments, types[!CommentType]
end

# ...and a query root
QueryType = GraphQL::ObjectType.define do
  name "Query"
  description "The query root of this schema"

  field :post do
    argument :id, !types.ID
    resolve -> (obj, args, ctx) { Post.find(args["id"]) }
  end
end

# Then create your schema
Schema = GraphQL::Schema.new(query: QueryType)

See also:

• the test schema
• graphql-ruby-demo for an example schema on Rails

Execute GraphQL queries on a given schema, from a query string.

query = GraphQL::Query.new(Schema, query_string)
result_hash = query.result
# {
#   "data" => {
#     "post" => {
#        "id" => 1,
#        "title" => "GraphQL is nice"
#     }
#   }
# }

See also:

• query_spec.rb for an example of query execution.
• queries_controller.rb for a Rails example
• Try it on heroku

• To match spec:
  • Directives:
    • @skip has precedence over @include
    • directives on fragments: http://facebook.github.io/graphql/#sec-Fragment-Directives
• Field merging
  • if you were to request a field, then request it in a fragment, it would get looked up twice
  • graphql/graphql-js#19 (comment)
• Code clean-up
  • Unify unwrapping types (It's on TypeKind but it's still not right)
  • Accept native Ruby types in definitions, then convert them to GraphQL types
  • Make Schema validations run before TypeReducer
  • Remove deprecated params: keyword
• Cook up some path other than "n+1s everywhere"
  • See Sangria's project approach (in progress)

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

• Say hi & ask questions in the #ruby channel on Slack or on Twitter!
• Report bugs by posting a description, full stack trace, and all relevant code in a GitHub issue.
• Features & patches are welcome! Consider discussing it in an issue or in the #ruby channel on Slack to make sure we're on the same page.
• Run the tests with rake test or start up guard with bundle exec guard.

• GraphQL Spec
• Other implementations: graphql-links
• graphql-ruby + Rails demo (src / heroku)
• GraphQL Slack

Thanks to @sgwilym for the great logo! Definition API heavily inspired by @seanchas's implementation of GraphQL
