Documentation

alumbra is a set of reusable GraphQL components for Clojure conforming to the data structures given in alumbra.spec. It also uses these components to provide an easy-to-use GraphQL infrastructure, allowing you to get started with minimal effort.

Features

• built upon claro resolvables, allowing you to leverage a powerful and customizable data access layer,
• idiomatic Clojure value and name coercion (e.g., for record fields and enum values),
• a fast parser and query validator,
• compatible with GraphiQL,
• and seamless integration with ring-compatible servers,

Quickstart

Note: You might want to familiarize yourself with claro's ideas and implementation since that's the source of a lot of alumbra's powers.

(require '[alumbra.core :as alumbra]
         '[claro.data :as data])

First, we declare our GraphQL schema and implement a Resolvable for each non-root type:

(def schema
  "type Person { name: String!, friends: [Person!]! }
   type QueryRoot { person(id: ID!): Person, me: Person! }
   schema { query: QueryRoot }")

(defrecord Person [id]
  data/Resolvable
  (resolve! [_ _]
    {:name    (str "Person #" id)
     :friends (map ->Person  (range (inc id) (+ id 3)))}))

Then we declare our QueryRoot and instantiate the handler:

(def QueryRoot
  {:person (map->Person {})
   :me     (map->Person {:id 0})})

(def app
  (alumbra/handler
    {:schema schema
     :query  QueryRoot}))

And this we pass to a Ring-compatible HTTP server of our choice:

(defonce my-graphql-server
  (aleph.http/start-server #'app {:port 3000}))

Check out our GraphQL endpoint!

$ curl -XPOST "http://0:3000" -H'Content-Type: application/json' -d'{
  "query": "{ me { name, friends { name } } }"
}'
{"data":{"me":{"name":"Person #0","friends":[{"name":"Person #1"},{"name":"Person #2"}]}}}
