  3. spectaql

    Autogenerate static GraphQL API documentation

    Project mention: Getting started with GraphQL | dev.to | 2025-04-06

    This year, I've had to get rapidly up-to-speed with GraphQL. I thought I'd be starting from nothing, but I'd forgotten that TinaCMS (the headless content management system that I use with this site) uses it. One of the first problems I had to solve was how to generate static documentation. My limited research led me to two possible solutions: SpectaQL, developed from the earlier DociQL, and Magidoc. The latter has built-in search, so that made my choice for me. I use Hugo as my static site generator, so the first thing I had to do was start the local version of TinaCMS from my site's Git repository:
