Usage

TODO: Write usage instructions here

Example

Run bin/console for an interactive prompt (loaded with example models/data) and enter the following:

puts query(<<-QUERY_STRING).to_json
  user(<token>) {
    id,
    is_admin,
    full_name as name,
    created_at { year, month } as created_year_and_month,
    created_at.format("long") as created,
    account {
      bank_name,
      iban,
      saldo as saldo_string,
      saldo {
        currency,
        cents   /* silly block comment */
      }
    },
    albums.first(2) {
      count,
      edges {
        cursor,
        node {
          artist,
          title,
          songs.first(2) {
            edges {
              id,
              title.upcase as upcased_title,
              title.upcase.length as upcased_title_length
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

  <token> = "ma"  // a variable
QUERY_STRING

This should result in the following JSON (after prettyfication):

{
  "id": "ma",
  "is_admin": true,
  "name": "Martin Andert",
  "created_year_and_month": {
    "year": 2010,
    "month": 3

    "saldo_string": "100000.00 EUR",
    "saldo": {
      "currency": "EUR",
      "cents": 10000000
    }
  },
  "albums": {
    "count": 2,
    "edges": [
      {
        "cursor": 1,
        "node": {

                "upcased_title_length": 13
              }, {
                "id": 2,
                "upcased_title": "SAD BUT TRUE",
                "upcased_title_length": 12
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      }, {
        "cursor": 2,
        "node": {
          "artist": "Nirvana",
          "title": "Nevermind",
          "songs": {
            "edges": [
              {

                "upcased_title_length": 23
              }, {
                "id": 6,
                "upcased_title": "COME AS YOU ARE",
                "upcased_title_length": 15
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

Contributing

1. Fork it ( https://github.com/martinandert/gql/fork )
2. Run bin/setup to install dependencies.
3. Run the tests. We only take pull requests with passing tests, and it's great to know that you have a clean slate: bin/rake test.
4. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
5. Add a test for your change. Only refactoring and documentation changes require no new tests. If you are adding functionality or are fixing a bug, we need a test!
6. Make the test pass.
7. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'add some feature')
8. Push to your fork (git push origin my-new-feature)
