NAME

GraphQL::Plugin::Convert::OpenAPI - convert OpenAPI schema to GraphQL schema

SYNOPSIS

  use GraphQL::Plugin::Convert::OpenAPI;
  my $converted = GraphQL::Plugin::Convert::OpenAPI->to_graphql(
    'file-containing-spec.json',
  );
  print $converted->{schema}->to_doc;

DESCRIPTION

This module implements the GraphQL::Plugin::Convert API to convert a JSON::Validator::OpenAPI specification to GraphQL::Schema etc.

It uses, from the given API spec:

  • the given "definitions" as output types

  • the given "definitions" as input types when required for an input parameter

  • the given operations as fields of either Query if a GET, or Mutation otherwise

If an output type has additionalProperties (effectively a hash whose values are of a specified type), this poses a problem for GraphQL which does not have such a concept. It will be treated as being made up of a list of pairs of objects (i.e. hashes) with two keys: key and value.

The queries will be run against the spec's server. If the spec starts with a /, and a Mojolicious app is supplied (see below), that server will instead be the given app.

ARGUMENTS

To the to_graphql method: a URL to a specification, or a filename containing a JSON specification, of an OpenAPI v2. Optionally, a Mojolicious app can be given as the second argument.

PACKAGE FUNCTIONS

make_field_resolver

This is available as \&GraphQL::Plugin::Convert::OpenAPI::make_field_resolver in case it is wanted for use outside of the "bundle" of the to_graphql method. It takes arguments:

  • a hash-ref mapping from a GraphQL operation field-name to an operationId

  • a hash-ref mapping from a GraphQL type-name to true if that type needs transforming from a hash into pairs

and returns a closure that can be used as a field resolver.

DEBUGGING

To debug, set environment variable GRAPHQL_DEBUG to a true value.
