starter VS crystal

I've been enjoying developing on top of PostGraphile. https://www.graphile.org/

Good starter: https://github.com/graphile/starter

I can add a column the the db, and my frontend gets that autimagically (in dev mode, it generates a graphql schema out of the db, and from that it creates composables for my frontend wiht graphql-codegen). On the frontend I use Vue 3, the starter is build with nextjs/react.

I learned so much about postgresql and RLS from postgraphile starter project: https://github.com/graphile/starter/blob/main/%40app/db/migr...

also the project is worth checking out ;)

I'm a fairly seasoned developer, but I've started contributing to a project (graphile-starter) where the core business logic is defined in PL/pgSQL functions and realized I have a lot to learn.

Someone called it: "hasura for adults”

It's highly customisable, works directly with postgresql row levels security and the performance is quite good. It has a custom GraphiQL gui to work on queries/mutations.

To really see how it all works together checkout the starter project: https://github.com/graphile/starter it has migrations, job queue, graphql-codegen etc.

Benjie (https://github.com/benjie) is one of the greatest maintainers I've ever seen!

Here’s a full stack, batteries included example: https://github.com/graphile/starter it doesn’t have mobile app yet but could be added relatively easily.

Postgraphile starter uses most of the same tech and has all the same functionality as far as I can tell, with the additional benefit of Postgraphile generating your GraphQL schema and resolvers instead of worrying them manually.

Check out the Postgraphile Starter and how it handles auth and sessions in a graphql api

I didn't see a v5 tag in order to know, and I have no idea what "utils/graphile" does for the project, but one will want to ensure they are aware of its licensing scheme https://github.com/graphile/crystal/blob/db8894c74eb0ec3fe96...

I was about to say “but this one is!” and realized I had confused PostgREST with PostGraphile. If you’re interested in GraphQL, you can check out PostGraphile here: https://github.com/graphile/postgraphile

If you point is to abstract all the CRUD/GraphQL application, Go isn’t needed. You can go with PostgREST or Postgraphile.

What do you mean locally? Hasura is OSS, and you can run it locally (you have autogenerated SQL statements) Here you can just use Nhost and its CLI;

Alternatives are https://github.com/graphile/postgraphile or dgraph as you mentioned. Hasura is working on support for sqlite, so you may have some blockers there, you can also look into the Prisma engine which has GQL as an intermediate (for resolvers, for example)

I've personally found Postgraphile to be fantastic. Nicer to use than Hasura and fully OSS: https://github.com/graphile/postgraphile/

Hi all, this sounds very cool. How does pg_graphql compare to Postgraphile? https://github.com/graphile/postgraphile (besides I guess running in the DB with PLpgSQL instead of as a NodeJS server)

Did you think about integrating Postgraphile with the Supabase ecosystem or have specific limitations with it?

Thanks!
