Overview

GraphiQL is the reference implementation of this monorepo, GraphQL IDE, an official project under the GraphQL Foundation. The code uses the permissive MIT license.

Whether you want a simple GraphiQL IDE instance for your server, or a more advanced web or desktop GraphQL IDE experience for your framework or plugin, or you want to build an IDE extension or plugin, you've come to the right place!

The purpose of this monorepo is to give the GraphQL Community:

  • a to-specification official language service (see: API Docs)
  • a comprehensive LSP server and CLI service for use with IDEs
  • a codemirror mode
  • a monaco mode (in the works)
  • an example of how to use this ecosystem with GraphiQL.
  • examples of how to implement or extend GraphiQL.

monaco-graphql

NPM jsDelivr hits (npm) npm downloads Snyk Vulnerabilities for npm package

Provides monaco editor with a powerful, schema-driven graphql language mode. Uses the graphql-language-servicedirectly.

See the webpack example for a plain javascript demo using GitHub API

codemirror-graphql

Animated Codemirror GraphQL Completion Example

Provides CodeMirror 5 with a parser mode for GraphQL along with a live linter and typeahead hinter powered by your GraphQL Schema. Uses the graphql-language-service.

cm6-graphql

graphql-language-service

NPM npm downloads Snyk Vulnerabilities for npm package

Provides language services for graphql-language-service-server codemirror-graphql and monaco-graphql. Previously published separately as the now-retired graphql-language-service-interface, graphql-language-service-parser, graphql-language-service-utils and graphql-language-service-types.

graphql-language-service-server

NPM npm downloads Snyk Vulnerabilities for npm package

Provides language services for LSP-based IDE extensions using the graphql-language-service

graphql.vscode-graphql

An example implementation of graphql-language-service-server for Visual Studio Code. Available on the marketplace. OVSX fix is pending.

graphql.vscode-graphql-syntax

A new syntax highlighting-only extension for vscode to be used by other vscode extensions.

graphql.vscode-graphql-execution

An extension for vscode-graphql that allows inline query execution.

graphql-language-service-cli

NPM npm downloads Snyk Vulnerabilities for npm package

Provides a CLI for the language service server.

Browser & Runtime Support

Many of these packages need to work in multiple environments.

By default, all typescript packages target es6.

graphql-language-service-server and graphql-language-service-cli are made for the node runtime, so they target es2017

codemirror-graphql and the graphiql browser bundle use the .browserslistrc, which targets modern browsers to keep bundle size small and keep the language services performant where async/await is used, and especially to avoid the requirement of regenerator-runtime or special babel configuration.

.browserslistrc:

last 2 versions
Firefox ESR
not dead
not IE 11
not ios 10
maintained node versions

To be clear, we do not support Internet Explorer or older versions of evergreen browsers.
