envelop-plugin-inngest

An envelop plugin that sends GraphQL response data to Inngest to help build event-driven
applications.

useInngest is an Envelop plugin for GraphQL Yoga
and servers or frameworks powered by Yoga, such as RedwoodJS.

It’s philosophy is to:

• “instrument everything” by sending events for each GraphQL execution result to
  Inngest to effortlessly build event-driven applications.
• provide fine-grained control over what events are sent such as operations (queries, mutations, or
  subscriptions), introspection events, when GraphQL errors occur, if result data should be
  included, type and schema coordinate denylists … and more.
• be customized with event prefix, name and user context functions

Packages

This monorepo contains several packages:

• plugin
• setup

envelop-plugin-inngest

An envelop plugin that sends GraphQL response data to Inngest to help build event-driven
applications.

Please see the plugin README to learn about the plugin.

Or, if using RedwoodJS, see the
setup command README for instructions to configure and to
create functions via command line.

inngest-setup-redwoodjs

Setup up Inngest in a RedwoodJS project and to create new functions via command line.

The plugin command configures Inngest and auto-instruments the RedwoodJS GraphQL api using the
envelop-plugin-inngest plugin.

The function command creates stubbed out background, delayed, scheduled and step functions ready
for you to implement.

Please see the
setup README
to learn about the setup command for RedwoodJS.

Note: If you use RedwoodJS v5.0.6-canary or later, you can setup Inngest via
yarn rw experimental setup inngest.

About Inngest

Inngest makes it simple for you to write delayed or background jobs by triggering functions from
events — decoupling your code from your application.

• You send events from your application via HTTP (or via third party webhooks, e.g. Stripe)
• Inngest runs your serverless functions that are configured to be triggered by those events, either
  immediately, or delayed.

Inngest brings the benefits of event-driven systems to all developers, without having to write any
code themselves.

Inngest believes that:

• Event-driven systems should be easy to build and adopt
• Event-driven systems are better than regular, procedural systems and queues
• Developer experience matters
• Serverless scheduling enables scalable, reliable systems that are both cheaper and better for
  compliance

About Yoga and Envelop

GraphQL Yoga is a batteries-included cross-platform
GraphQL over HTTP spec-compliant GraphQL server powered byEnvelop and
GraphQL Tools.

Yoga uses Envelop under the hood so you can easily extend your server’s capabilities with the
plugins from Envelop Ecosystem.

Envelop is a lightweight JavaScript (/TypeScript) library for wrapping
GraphQL execution layer and flow, allowing developers to develop, share and collaborate on
GraphQL-related plugins while filling the missing pieces in GraphQL implementations.

Envelop aims to extend the GraphQL execution flow by adding plugins that enriches the feature set of
your application.

Envelop provides a low-level hook-based plugin API for developers. By combining plugins, you can
compose your own GraphQL “framework”, and get a modified version of GraphQL with the capabilities
you need.

Envelop is created and maintained by The Guild.
