Graphql-helix Alternatives

Reviews and mentions

• a first look at graphQL helix
  6 projects | dev.to | 20 Sep 2021

  GraphQL Helix is a framework and runtime agnostic collection of utility functions for building your own GraphQL HTTP server. Instead of providing a complete HTTP server or middleware plugin function, GraphQL Helix only provides a handful of functions for turning an HTTP request into a GraphQL execution result. You decide how to send back the response.

  import { envelop, useSchema, useLogger } from '@envelop/core'; import fastify from 'fastify'; import { processRequest, getGraphQLParameters } from 'graphql-helix'; // This creates the `getEnveloped` function for us. Behind the scense the wrapped functions are created once, here. const getEnveloped = envelop({ plugins: [useSchema(schema), useLogger()], }); const app = fastify(); app.route({ method: ['POST'], url: '/graphql', async handler(req, res) { // Here we can pass the request and make available as part of the "context". // The return value is the a GraphQL-proxy that exposes all the functions. const { parse, validate, contextFactory, execute, schema } = getEnveloped({ req, }); const request = { body: req.body, headers: req.headers, method: req.method, query: req.query, }; const { operationName, query, variables } = getGraphQLParameters(request); // Here, we pass our custom functions to Helix, and it will take care of the rest. const result = await processRequest({ operationName, query, variables, request, schema, parse, validate, execute, contextFactory, }); if (result.type === 'RESPONSE') { res.status(result.status); res.send(result.payload); } else { // You can find a complete example with Subscriptions and stream/defer here: // https://github.com/contrawork/graphql-helix/blob/master/examples/fastify/server.ts res.send({ errors: [{ message: 'Not Supported in this demo' }] }); } }, }); app.listen(3000, () => { console.log(`GraphQL server is running...`); });

• Subscriptions and Live Queries - Real Time with GraphQL

  Fortunately, we now have libraries like Graphql Helix, which, in my humble opinion, should replace express-graphql as the reference HTTP implementation since GraphQL Helix is also not tied to any web server framework.

• GraphQL - Diving Deep

  If you are using Node.js there are a lot of implementations of GraphQL servers with a few being express-graphql, apollo-server, mercurius, graphql-helix and more. And if you are using other languages, you can see a great list here

  In the previous blog, we had started going through "The GraphQL Stack" that we use at Timecampus going through various libraries and tools like VSCode, GraphQL Config, VSCode GraphQL, GraphQL ESLint, GraphQL Inspector, Typescript, GraphQL Helix and GraphQL Codegen. In this blog, we will continue our journey exploring from where we left off.

• Need guidance on apollo subscription fallback
  4 projects | reddit.com/r/graphql | 16 May 2021

  If you want to do GraphQL subscriptions over HTTP you should look into graphql-helix (https://github.com/contrawork/graphql-helix), which gives you a generic interface for doing subscriptions over HTTP SSE (Server Side Events). graphql-helix can be used with any http transport.

• What are your thoughts on Next/Apollo/Prisma stack? Should I use it for my project (see details in the description)? Can you share some advice?

  Instead of apollo-server I would highly recommend using graphql-helix https://github.com/contrawork/graphql-helix and/or graphql-ws https://github.com/enisdenjo/graphql-ws

• What is the best way to set up a GraphQL server?
  5 projects | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 24 Apr 2021

  Apollo Server can be setup on its own, or as middleware for popular HTTP servers such as Express and Fastify. Apollo Server is also the default server used by the @nestjs/graphql module, if you decide to use NestJS, and TypeGraphQL's schemas can be injected into either of the three options I mentioned, as well as others such as Helix.

  You can instead also do subscriptions over HTTP with SSE. https://github.com/contrawork/graphql-helix is a great and IMHO the better wrapper around graphql.js instead of graphql-http, as it also has first class subscription over HTTP support and isnt tied to express.

• Optimization: Express-graphql?

  it has a lot of recipes for common stuff such as persisted queries https://github.com/contrawork/graphql-helix#recipes
