graphql-voyager logo

Represent any GraphQL API as an interactive graph. It's time to finally see the graph behind GraphQL. You can also explore number of public GraphQL APIs from our list.

With graphql-voyager you can visually explore your GraphQL API as an interactive graph. This is a great tool when designing or discussing your data model. It includes multiple example GraphQL schemas and also allows you to connect it to your own GraphQL endpoint. What are you waiting for, explore your API!

GraphQL Weekly #42

Live Demo

voyager demo

Features

  • Quick navigation on graph
  • Left panel which provides more detailed information about every type
  • "Skip Relay" option that simplifies graph by removing Relay wrapper classes
  • Ability to choose any type to be a root of the graph

Usage

GraphQL Voyager exports Voyager React component and helper init function. If used without module system it is exported as GraphQLVoyager global variable.

Properties

Voyager component accepts the following properties:

init function

The signature of the init function:

(hostElement: HTMLElement, options: object) => void
  • hostElement - parent element
  • options - is the JS object with properties of Voyager component

Using pre-bundled version

You can get GraphQL Voyager bundle from the following places:

Important: for the latest two options make sure to copy voyager.worker.js to the same folder as voyager.min.js.

The HTML with minimal setup (see the full example)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/react@16/umd/react.production.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/react-dom@16/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/graphql-voyager/dist/voyager.css" />
    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/graphql-voyager/dist/voyager.min.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="voyager">Loading...</div>
    <script>
      function introspectionProvider(introspectionQuery) {
        // ... do a call to server using introspectionQuery provided
        // or just return pre-fetched introspection
      }

      // Render <Voyager />
      GraphQLVoyager.init(document.getElementById('voyager'), {
        introspection: introspectionProvider
      })
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Using as a dependency

You can install lib using npm or yarn:

npm i --save graphql-voyager
yarn add graphql-voyager

And then use it:

import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {Voyager} from 'graphql-voyager';
import fetch from 'isomorphic-fetch';

function introspectionProvider(query) {
  return fetch(window.location.origin + '/graphql', {
    method: 'post',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({query: query}),
  }).then(response => response.json());
}

ReactDOM.render(<Voyager introspection={introspectionProvider} />, document.getElementById('voyager'));

Build for the web with webpack (example) or browserify

Important: make sure to copy voyager.worker.js from node_modules/graphql-voyager/dist to the same folder as your main bundle or use workerURI property to specify other path.

NOTE if you use it with create-react-app, copy worker file to public folder and use workerURI property like this:

  <Voyager
      // ...
      workerURI={process.env.PUBLIC_URL + '/voyager.worker.js'}
      // ...
  />

Middleware

Graphql Voyager has middleware for the next frameworks:

Properties

Middleware supports the following properties:

  • endpointUrl string - the GraphQL endpoint url.
  • displayOptions object - same as here
  • headersJS string, default "{}" - object of headers serialized in string to be used on endpoint url Note: You can also use any JS expression which results in an object with header names as keys and strings as values e.g. { Authorization: localStorage['Meteor.loginToken'] }

Express

import express from 'express';
import { express as voyagerMiddleware } from 'graphql-voyager/middleware';

const app = express();

app.use('/voyager', voyagerMiddleware({ endpointUrl: '/graphql' }));

app.listen(3001);

Hapi

Version 17+

import hapi from 'hapi';
import { hapi as voyagerMiddleware } from 'graphql-voyager/middleware';

const server = new Hapi.Server({
  port: 3001
});

const init = async () => {
  await server.register({
    plugin: voyagerMiddleware,
    options: {
      path: '/voyager',
      endpointUrl: '/graphql'
    }
  });

  await server.start();
};

init();

Legacy Versions

import hapi from 'hapi';
import { hapiLegacy as voyagerMiddleware } from 'graphql-voyager/middleware';

const server = new Hapi.Server();

server.connection({
  port: 3001
});

server.register({
  register: voyagerMiddleware,
  options: {
    path: '/voyager',
    endpointUrl: '/graphql'
  }
},() => server.start());

Koa

import Koa from 'koa';
import KoaRouter from 'koa-router';
import { koa as voyagerMiddleware } from 'graphql-voyager/middleware';

const app = new Koa();
const router = new KoaRouter();

router.all('/voyager', voyagerMiddleware({
  endpointUrl: '/graphql'
}));

app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());
app.listen(3001);
