sf-graphql v1.0.0-beta.0

salesforce-graphql

Create a GraphQL schema for a Salesforce org

Why?

• Use tools from the GraphQL ecosystem with salesforce
  • Many developers may not know SOQL but already know GraphQL. They can get up and running fast using salesforce-graphql
  • You can use tools like apollo or relay and access the whole organization, instead of using fetch or xmlhttprequest to query a backend server with predefined queries
  • Visualize your org using existing graphql tools like graphql-voyager or graphqlviz
• Overcome some limitations of SOQL
  • SOQL doesn't allow parent queries that query deeper than five levels from the root object. salesforce-graphql splits your graphql query into multiple SOQL requests before resolving to overcome this limitation
  • SOQL doesn't allow nested child queries or nesting a child query within a parent query. salesforce-graphql will split these types of queries into multiple SOQL requests to overcome this limitation

Usage

See the examples directory for example usage.
