npm install -g @2fd/graphdoc

Use

Generate documentation from live endpoint

> graphdoc -e http://localhost:8080/graphql -o ./doc/schema

Generate documentation from IDL file

> graphdoc -s ./schema.graphql -o ./doc/schema

Generate documentation from for the ["modularized

schema"](http://dev.apollodata.com/tools/graphql-tools/generate-schema.html#modularizing) of graphql-tools

> graphdoc -s ./schema.js -o ./doc/schema

./schema.graphql must be able to be interpreted
with graphql-js/utilities#buildSchema

Generate documentation from json file

> graphdoc -s ./schema.json -o ./doc/schema

./schema.json contains the result of GraphQL introspection
query

Puts the options in your `package.json`

// package.json

{
  "name": "project",
  "graphdoc": {
    "endpoint": "http://localhost:8080/graphql",
    "output": "./doc/schema",
  }
}

And execute

> graphdoc

Plugin

In graphdoc a plugin is simply an object that controls the content that is displayed
on every page of your document.

This object should only implement the
PluginInterface.

Make a Plugin

To create your own plugin you should only create it as a plain object
or a constructor and export it as default

If you export your plugin as a constructor, when going to be initialized,
will receive three parameters

schema: The full the result of GraphQL introspection
query
projectPackage: The content of package.json of current project (or the content of file defined with --config
flag).
graphdocPackage: The content of package.json of graphdoc.

For performance reasons all plugins receive the reference to the same object
and therefore should not modify them directly as it could affect the behavior
of other plugins (unless of course that is your intention)

Examples

// es2015 export constructor
export default class MyPlugin {
  constructor(schema, projectPackage, graphdocPackage) {}
  getAssets() {
    /* ... */
  }
}

// es2015 export plain object
export default cost myPlugin = {
  getAssets() {
    /* ... */
  },
}

// export constructor
function MyPlugin(schema, projectPackage, graphdocPackage) {
  /* ... */
}

MyPlugin.prototype.getAssets = function() {
  /* ... */
};

exports.default = MyPlugin;

// export plain object

exports.default = {
  getAssets: function() {
    /* ... */
  }
};

Use plugin

You can use the plugins in 2 ways.

Use plugins with command line

> graphdoc -p graphdoc/plugins/default \
    -p some-dependencies/plugin \
    -p ./lib/plugin/my-own-plugin \
    -s ./schema.json -o ./doc/schema

Use plugins with `package.json`

// package.json

{
  "name": "project",
  "graphdoc": {
    "endpoint": "http://localhost:8080/graphql",
    "output": "./doc/schema",
    "plugins": [
      "graphdoc/plugins/default",
      "some-dependencie/plugin",
      "./lib/plugin/my-own-plugin"
    ]
  }
}
