Overview

Add GraphQL to a Rails app with rails g graphql:install.

Setup a folder structure for GraphQL:

- app/
  - graphql/
    - resolvers/
    - types/
      - query_type.rb
    - loaders/
    - mutations/
    - {app_name}_schema.rb

(Add .gitkeeps by default, support --skip-keeps)

Add a controller for serving GraphQL queries:

app/controllers/graphql_controller.rb

Add a route for that controller:

# config/routes.rb
post "/graphql", to: "graphql#execute"

Accept a --relay option which adds The root node(id: ID!) field.

Accept a --batch option which adds GraphQL::Batch setup.

Use --no-graphiql to skip graphiql-rails installation.
