When using GraphQL a tool to visualize the schema would be very handy. And there is one: graphql-voyager.

Voyager is great if you have a living GraphQL server. Just add a middleware and get a nice looking interactive schema!

The problem comes where you need to share this docs with your teammates. You cirtainly can send them a docker image with your server, or repository so that they can do everything themselves. But both ways aren't very comfortable when collaborating with less "technical" people.

The downside of voyager is that it needs a real working GraphQL server with introspection.

Here is where zenodotus comes to play. The idea is simple: deploy zenodotus as a docker container to machine you like. Set a repository, branch (or tag or event commit hash) and paths to schema files. The service will fetch files, checkout what is needed and run it's own introspection "sub-server".

Atm the repository is set with environment variable and the ref is passed by ref query parameter (default is master)

http://localhost:4001?ref=develop

See compose.yaml. Note that two ports must be forwarded - one for the voyager page itself and the second - for introspection server.

The plan is to do user-friendly branch (and maybe repos) switching with React.
