GraphQL IDE Monorepo

Security Notice: All versions of graphiql < 1.4.7 are vulnerable to an
XSS attack in cases where the GraphQL server to which the GraphiQL web app
connects is not trusted. Learn more

Looking for the GraphiQL Docs?: This is the
root of the monorepo! The full GraphiQL docs are located at
packages/graphiql

Overview

GraphiQL (pronounced like “graphical”) 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.

GraphQL Language Service.

Learn more about
GraphiQL in packages/graphiql/README.md

monaco-graphql

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

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

Provides CodeMirror 6 with a full-featured language mode for GraphQL. Uses the graphql-language-service.

graphql-language-service

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

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

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.

Fielding Proposals!

The door is open for proposals for the new GraphiQL Plugin API, and other ideas
on how to make the rest of the IDE ecosystem more performant, scalable,
interoperable and extensible. Feel free to open a PR to create a document in the
/proposals/ directory. Eventually we hope to move these to a repo that serves
this purpose.
