What would be a good way to start helping on this?
from graphql-js.
We're not sure yet. We'll speak with those working on GraphQL client tools at Facebook to figure out what will best support their needs and that will help us understand the direction to move in.
from graphql-js.
More about #16 (I think?), but is there any vision for parsing the schema definition language into (partial) "AST" (which you now build by hand) and providing an API to define resolve functions for individual attributes?
I have something roughly like this in mind:
import {schemaDefine} from 'graphql'
const schema = schemaDefine(`
type User {
name: String!
interests: [String]
}
queryType {
user(id: ID): User
}
`);
schema.getType('User').defineFieldResolvers(() => {
name: (user) => user.name,
interests: (user) => user.interests.map(interest => interest.label)
});
...
There's obviously more thinking to be done around defining custom scalars, etc., but is this something that you have on the roadmap or would be interested in?
from graphql-js.
This isn't something on the roadmap. We haven't considered an approach like that very seriously because while it could make simple cases more terse, it could also be harder to understand and harder to extend.
Documentation, for example, is missing from this particular suggestion and a critical part of a well built GraphQL server, so we want to avoid giving tools that makes documentation harder rather than easier.
There's probably something to a partial code-generation (similar to Rails or Yeoman) that would be really valuable to reduce typing, which is one of the interesting paths that could be taken for building a parser for client-side types.
The primary desire for client-side types, at least from how I've seen GraphQL used at Facebook over the last 3 years, is for doing code-generation in our client applications when the types a GraphQL server provides need to be extended by the iOS or Android client.

This is now mostly covered by #74
from graphql-js.
Individual changes increment towards this, and the tracking task is at graphql/graphql-spec#90
