对于许多应用,你可以在应用启动时定义固定结构,并使用 GraphQL 结构语言来定义它。在某些情况下,以编程方式构建结构很有用。你可以使用 GraphQLSchema
构造函数来完成此操作。
¥For many apps, you can define a fixed schema when the application starts, and define it using GraphQL schema language. In some cases, it’s useful to construct a schema programmatically. You can do this using the GraphQLSchema
constructor.
当你使用 GraphQLSchema
构造函数创建结构时,你可以将它们创建为单独的对象类型,而不是仅使用结构语言定义 Query
和 Mutation
类型。
¥When you are using the GraphQLSchema
constructor to create a schema, instead of defining Query
and Mutation
types solely using schema language, you create them as separate object types.
例如,假设我们正在构建一个简单的 API,可让你根据 ID 获取一些硬编码用户的用户数据。使用 buildSchema
我们可以编写一个服务器:
¥For example, let’s say we are building a simple API that lets you fetch user data for a few hardcoded users based on an id. Using buildSchema
we could write a server with:
var express = require("express")
var { createHandler } = require("graphql-http/lib/use/express")
var { buildSchema } = require("graphql")
var schema = buildSchema(`
type User {
id: String
name: String
}
type Query {
user(id: String): User
}
`)
// Maps id to User object
var fakeDatabase = {
a: {
id: "a",
name: "alice",
},
b: {
id: "b",
name: "bob",
},
}
var root = {
user({ id }) {
return fakeDatabase[id]
},
}
var app = express()
app.all(
"/graphql",
createHandler({
schema: schema,
rootValue: root,
})
)
app.listen(4000)
console.log("Running a GraphQL API server at localhost:4000/graphql")
我们可以在不使用 GraphQL 结构语言的情况下实现相同的 API:
¥We can implement this same API without using GraphQL schema language:
var express = require("express")
var { createHandler } = require("graphql-http/lib/use/express")
var graphql = require("graphql")
// Maps id to User object
var fakeDatabase = {
a: {
id: "a",
name: "alice",
},
b: {
id: "b",
name: "bob",
},
}
// Define the User type
var userType = new graphql.GraphQLObjectType({
name: "User",
fields: {
id: { type: graphql.GraphQLString },
name: { type: graphql.GraphQLString },
},
})
// Define the Query type
var queryType = new graphql.GraphQLObjectType({
name: "Query",
fields: {
user: {
type: userType,
// `args` describes the arguments that the `user` query accepts
args: {
id: { type: graphql.GraphQLString },
},
resolve: (_, { id }) => {
return fakeDatabase[id]
},
},
},
})
var schema = new graphql.GraphQLSchema({ query: queryType })
var app = express()
app.all(
"/graphql",
createHandler({
schema: schema,
})
)
app.listen(4000)
console.log("Running a GraphQL API server at localhost:4000/graphql")
当我们使用这种创建 API 的方法时,根级别解析器是在 Query
和 Mutation
类型上实现的,而不是在 root
对象上实现的。
¥When we use this method of creating the API, the root level resolvers are implemented on the Query
and Mutation
types rather than on a root
object.
如果你想从其他内容(例如数据库结构)自动创建 GraphQL 结构,这尤其有用。你可能具有用于创建和更新数据库记录之类的通用格式。这对于实现联合类型等不能完全映射到 ES6 类和结构语言的功能也很有用。
¥This is particularly useful if you want to create a GraphQL schema automatically from something else, like a database schema. You might have a common format for something like creating and updating database records. This is also useful for implementing features like union types which don’t map cleanly to ES6 classes and schema language.
