@thoughtspot/rise NPM

Rise

Rise above "REST". A declarative schema driven way to convert REST endpoints to GraphQL. No need to write resolvers and api clients.

Installation

npm i @thoughtspot/rise

Usage

import { rise } from "@thoughtspot/rise";
import { buildSchema } from 'graphql'; // or Apollo or something else.
import typeDefs from './schema.graphql'; // Or your preferred method.


const  { riseDirectiveTransformer, riseDirectiveTypeDefs } = rise({
  // Base URL of the underlying REST Service.
  baseURL: "https://api.service.com/",        
  
  // Forward these headers from the graphql call to REST server.
  forwardheaders: ["cookie", "Authorization"],  
  
  // This is the name of the dynamically created directive.
  name: 'myAwesomeService',                     
  
  // The errors will be thrown from the directive wrapped 
  // in an instance of this class.
  // can be put to "ApolloError" for example to easily use
  // Apollo's error system.
  ErrorClass: ApolloError,
  
  /* 
    Can also specify other directive props here which apply to all REST calls,
    Look at the usage below for all possible props.
  */
});

let schema = buildSchema([
  riseDirectiveTypeDefs,
  typeDefs,
]);

schema = riseDirectiveTransformer(schema);

// .. Serve the schema using your favorite Graphql Server.

    # mapped to the `header.name` field inside the response json.
