GraphQL Server Toolkit for Nuxt

This package allows you to easily develop a GraphQL server in your Nuxt 3 application.

For consuming a GraphQL API on the client-side, we recommend the modules Nuxt Apollo, Nuxt GraphQL Client or nuxt/graphql-client.

Features

• Provides a virtual module #graphql/schema from where you can import your schema. Under the hood, it automatically merges multiple schema files together into a complete schema. Moreover, you no longer need to worry about deploying schema graphql files.
• Automatically generated typescript definitions for your resolvers via the virtual module #graphql/resolver.
• Nuxt Devtools integration: adds the Apollo Studio Sandbox directly in the devtools.

Installation

# npmnpm install @apollo/server graphql @as-integrations/h3 nuxt-graphql-server# yarnyarn add @apollo/server graphql @as-integrations/h3 nuxt-graphql-server# pnpmpnpm add @apollo/server graphql @as-integrations/h3 nuxt-graphql-server

Usage

1. Add the module in nuxt.config.ts:

   export default defineNuxtConfig({  modules: ['nuxt-graphql-server'],  // Optional top-level config  graphqlServer: {    // config  },})// orexport default defineNuxtConfig({  modules: [    [      'nuxt-graphql-server',      {        /* Optional inline config */      },    ],  ],})

2. Define the GraphQL schema in .graphql files located in the server folder.
3. Expose the GraphQL API endpoint by creating server/api/graphql.ts with the following content:

   import { Resolvers } from '#graphql/resolver'import { schema } from '#graphql/schema'import { ApolloServer } from '@apollo/server'import { startServerAndCreateH3Handler } from '@as-integrations/h3'const resolvers: Resolvers = {   Query: {      // Typed resolvers   },}const apollo = new ApolloServer({typeDefs: schema, resolvers})export default startServerAndCreateH3Handler(apollo, {   // Optional: Specify context   context: (event) => {...},})

4. Optionally, specify the (relative) url to the GraphQL endpoint in nuxt.config.ts to enable the Nuxt Devtools integration.

   graphqlServer: {   url: '/api/graphql',}

Options

graphqlServer: {  url: '/relative/path/to/your/graphql/endpoint',  schema: './server/**/*.graphql',  codegen: {    maybeValue: T | null | undefined  }}

url

Relative url to your GraphQL Endpoint to enable the Nuxt Devtools integration.

schema

A glob pattern on how to locate your GraphQL Schema (.graphql) files.

Default: './server/**/*.graphql'

codegen

This module uses GraphQL Code Generator under the hood and makes use of the TypeScript and TypeScript Resolvers plugins which means any options from those plugins can be passed here based on your needs.

For example, you may want to:

export defineNuxtConfig({  modules: ['nuxt-graphql-server'],  graphqlServer: {    codegen: {      // Map your internal enum values to your GraphQL's enums.      enumValues: '~/graphql/enums/index',      // Make use of your custom GraphQL Context type and let codegen use it so that the      // generated resolvers automatically makes use of it.      contextType: '~/server/graphql/GraphQLContext#GraphQLContext',      // Change the naming convention of your enum keys      namingConvention: {        enumValues: 'change-case-all#constantCase      },      // ... and many more, refer to the plugin docs!    },  },})

💻 Development

• Clone this repository
