Construire un serveur API GraphQL simple sur express et nodeJS

Je suggĂšre de lire une traduction gratuite d'un court article sur l'application pratique de GraphQL. L'original est disponible ici ( en ).

Quelques mots sur GraphQL


GraphQL est un langage de requĂȘte API qui offre une approche dĂ©clarative pour rĂ©cupĂ©rer des donnĂ©es. Il permet aux clients de demander uniquement les donnĂ©es nĂ©cessaires Ă  un serveur Web et rien de plus. DĂ©veloppĂ© en 2012 par Facebook, qui est toujours pris en charge, GraphQL a commencĂ© Ă  ĂȘtre utilisĂ© par de nombreuses autres grandes entreprises et non. Entre autres, Yelp, Shopify et Github.

Lorsque vous utilisez des API REST, les demandes sont généralement envoyées à plusieurs adresses pour obtenir toutes les données nécessaires dans l'application. L'API GraphQL vous permet d'envoyer la demande entiÚre à l'adresse en indiquant exactement quelles données vous souhaitez recevoir avec cette demande. Par conséquent, soit dit en passant, GraphQL est idéal lorsqu'il est utilisé dans une connexion mobile lente.

Les versions d'API peuvent ĂȘtre un casse-tĂȘte pour les Ă©quipes de dĂ©veloppement. Avec GraphQL, vous ne pouvez pas vous en soucier. GraphQL vous permet d'ajouter de nouveaux champs et types (cela sera discutĂ© plus tard) dans votre API GraphQL sans affecter les requĂȘtes existantes; les champs anciens et inutilisĂ©s peuvent ĂȘtre masquĂ©s des clients API. À l'aide d'une seule version Ă©volutive, l'API GraphQL fournit Ă  votre application un accĂšs constant aux nouvelles implĂ©mentations d'API et fournit une base de code propre et facile Ă  entretenir.

Prérequis


Avant de commencer, assurez-vous que Node version 6 et les versions antérieures sont installées. Vous pouvez vérifier la version avec la commande:

node -v 

Si vous n'avez pas installé Node, accédez à l'URL: https://nodejs.org/ et suivez les instructions d'installation.

Personnalisation de GraphQL et Express


Un moyen simple de créer un serveur d'API Graph est d'utiliser Express, un framework populaire pour Node.js. Installez Express à l'aide de npm:

 npm init npm install express --save 

Ensuite, installez `graphql` et` express-graphql`:

 npm install graphql express-graphql --save 

Ainsi, la structure initiale du dossier sera la suivante:

|---- node_modules
|---- package.json

Démarrage rapide dans l'API GraphQL


Dans cette petite section, nous allons essayer de créer rapidement une API GraphQL simple. Ceci est important pour une narration plus approfondie, afin qu'il vous apparaisse clairement ce que nous faisons exactement, à quoi ressemble l'API créée à l'aide de GraphQL. Si certains points vous paraissent difficiles et incompréhensibles, ne vous inquiétez pas, nous y reviendrons.

Alors maintenant, nous allons utiliser l'objet `buildSchema` de` graphql` pour créer le schéma (` schema '). Créez un fichier example.js dans notre dossier.

 const express = require('express'); const { buildSchema } = require('graphql'); const graphqlHTTP = require('express-graphql'); let port = 3000; /*         GraphQL */ let schema = buildSchema(` type Query { postTitle: String, blogTitle: String } `); /* root      endpoint'a */ let root = { postTitle: () => { return 'Build a Simple GraphQL Server With Express and NodeJS'; }, blogTitle: () => { return 'scotch.io'; } }; const app = express(); app.use('/', graphqlHTTP({ schema: schema, rootValue: root, graphiql: true //  true,   GraphiQL })); // ( IDE       endpoint'), //  endpoint' GraphQL   app.listen(port); console.log('GraphQL API server running at localhost: ' + port); 

Vous pouvez maintenant exécuter `example.js` dans le terminal:

 node example.js 

Maintenant sur localhost: 3000, vous pouvez découvrir GraphiQL. Il vous permettra de tester votre API dans un navigateur. Il prend en charge la saisie semi-automatique et fait des hypothÚses pour vous en fonction des types et des champs disponibles dans votre schéma.

Maintenant, demandons notre schéma pour `blogTitle`:

Si simple que vous pouvez demander l'API GraphQL.

Présentation


Vous comprenez maintenant le fonctionnement de GraphQL et nous pouvons commencer le sujet plus en profondeur.
Commençons par créer un serveur GraphQL basé sur Express. Maintenant, dans notre dossier, créez le dossier `src` et créez et enregistrez le fichier` schema.js`. Ce fichier ressemblera à ceci:

 // Authors  Posts     // JSON     const Authors = require('./data/authors'); const Posts = require('./data/posts'); let { //    GraphQL,      GraphQLString, GraphQLList, GraphQLObjectType, /*          */ GraphQLNonNull, //        GraphQLSchema } = require('graphql'); 

Ensuite, créez le dossier `data` dans le dossier` src`. Nous y placerons 2 fichiers: 'auteurs.js' et 'posts.js'.

Le contenu de ces fichiers est assez volumineux, vous ne pouvez donc pas les prendre via le lien sur Github ou sous le spoiler.

auteurs.js
 const Authors = [ { id: '8dlx7ak38fd39dv79ad', name: 'Orinami Olatunji', twitterHandle: '@orinami_' }, { id: 'jd3kd03d0w9a0l35rh74', name: 'Ojima Udale', twitterHandle: '@uncooloj' }, { id: '0hy894hf0dlkfh9oinv', name: 'Xabi Alonso', twitterHandle: '@alonso' } ]; module.exports = Authors; 


posts.js
 const Posts = [ {'id':'0176413761b289e6d64c2c14a758c1c7','author_id':'0hy894hf0dlkfh9oinv','author':'alonso', 'category':'meteor','body':'Most developers and companies use two different apps for the marketing website and for the app itself. Thus, they can update each of the apps without affecting the other. [Stripe](https://stripe.com/), [Digital Ocean](https://www.digitalocean.com/) and many other companies follow this technique. Most Meteor apps also do the same.\n\nSo, in a scenario like this, sometimes we need to show the login state of the app on the landing page too. For an example, see our Kadira home page (\u003chttps://kadira.io\u003e). If you are logged into the Kadira app (\u003chttps://ui.kadira.io\u003e), we show a button with "Open Kadira UI" on the home page, which replaces the login button.\n\n[![Login State Example on Kadira](https://cldup.com/q9nKu_OIhQ.png)](https://kadira.io)\n\n## How Did We Do It?\n\nMeteor does not have a built-in way to share login states across multiple apps or subdomains. So, we have to find an alternative way to do so.\n\nAs a solution, we can use browser cookies to share the login state between multiple domains. That\'s exactly what we did. We wrapped this up into a Meteor package, which now you can also use.\n\nIn this guide, I\'m going to explain how to share the login state between multiple domains using the [`kadira:login-state`](https://github.com/kadirahq/meteor-login-state) package.\n\n### On Meteor App\n\nFirst of all, install the `kadira:login-state` package in your Meteor app:\n\n~~~\nmeteor add kadira:login-state\n~~~\n\nThen, you need to add a new entry in the `public` object as the `loginState` in the `settings.json` file for your app. (If you haven\'t created the settings.json yet, you need to create it first.)\n\n~~~json\n{\n "public": {\n "loginState": {\n "domain": ".your-domain-name.com",\n "cookieName": "app-login-state-cookie-name"\n }\n }\n}\n~~~\n\nThe `domain` field must be your main domain name, starting with a dot. It allows you to share the login state, which can be accessed from any of its subdomains. You can use any appropriate identifier, such as `cookieName`.\n\nNow, everything has been set up on the Meteor app.\n\n### On the Static App (the Landing Page)\n\nNow we have to show the login state of the app on the landing page. For this, we need to add support for the login state for the static app (or landing page).\n\nActually, there are three different ways to do this. Here I will show you how to do so by pasting a few lines of JavaScript code.\n\nYou need to create a JavaScript file in your js folder. I create it as `js/login_state.js`. After that, copy and paste the following code snippet into it:\n\n~~~javascript\nLoginState = {};\n\nLoginState.get = function(cookieName) {\n var loginState = getCookie(cookieName);\n if(loginState) {\n return JSON.parse(decodeURIComponent(loginState));\n } else {\n return false;\n }\n};\n\nfunction getCookie(cname) {\n var name = cname + "=";\n var ca = document.cookie.split(\';\');\n for(var i=0; i \u003c ca.length; i++) {\n var c = ca[i];\n while (c.charAt(0)==\' \') c = c.substring(1);\n if (c.indexOf(name) != -1) return c.substring(name.length,c.length);\n }\n return;\n}\n~~~\n\nInsert that file into the head section of your HTML document: \n\n`\u003cscript src="js/login-state.js"\u003e\u003c/script\u003e`\n\n\u003e If you prefer, you can also use [Browserify](https://github.com/kadirahq/meteor-login-state#installing-via-browserify) or [Bower](https://github.com/kadirahq/meteor-login-state#installing-via-bower) to load the above JS file.\n\u003e The package name for both Browserify and Bower is `meteor-login-state`.\n\nThen, use the following code to get the login state of your app. You need to provide the relevant `cookieName` to do so: \n\n~~~javascript\nvar loginState = LoginState.get("app-login-state-cookie-name");\nif(loginState) {\n // the user has loggedIn to the meteor app\n // see the loginState Object for the addtional data\n // (append your code here!)\n console.log(loginState);\n} else {\n // user has not loggedIn yet.\n // (append your code here!) \n}\n~~~\n\nThe `loginState` object will be something like this:\n\n~~~json\n{\n timestamp: 1435835751489,\n username: "username",\n userId: "meteor-user-id",\n email: "user@email.com"\n url: "https://ui.kadira.io"\n}\n~~~\n\nNow you can do whatever you need to do with the login state.\n\nGive it a try and let me know what you think.','date':{'$date':'2015-07-07T00:00:00.000Z'},'layout':'blog_post','slug':'sharing-meteor-login-state-between-sub-domains','summary':'In this blog we\'ll show you how we shared login state between our static web app and our Meteor app Kadira UI.','title':'Sharing the Meteor Login State Between Subdomains'}, {'id':'03390abb5570ce03ae524397d215713b','author_id':'0hy894hf0dlkfh9oinv','author':'alonso', 'category':'product','body':'Here is a common feedback we received from our users:\n\n\u003e Hi, I have a suggestion.

With that, you can mark errors as "Ignored", "Fixing" or "Fixed".\n\nOnce you mark an error as "Ignored", it will be hidden. \n\nBut you can click on "Show Ignored Errors" checkbox or filter by "ignored" status to view them again.\n\n![show ignored errors](https://cldup.com/XvoJk9RGWf.gif)\n\nYou can also filter errors by status like this:\n\n![filtering errors with status](https://cldup.com/76JZ6wmbVb.gif)\n\nWe are rolling out this feature to all our paid users.

We would like to know your preference. Pre-order the feature you would most like to see in the next major release (scheduled for August 1).\n\n## Real Client Monitoring\n\nWith Real Client Monitoring, you can learn how your app behaves in actual clients and find client-side bottlenecks. You\'ll be able to see:\n\n* Load time of your app\n* Time taken to connect to the DDP Server\n* Time taken to load the initial subscriptions\n* Time taken to render initial subscriptions\n* Latency values for your methods and publications. You can also break them down into:\n * Network latency for sending requests\n * Server queue time\n * Server processing time\n * Network latency for receiving result/data\n\nComparisons with all of these metrics can be made against countries and browsers (mobiles, desktop, etc.).\n\n\u003e This is an add-on for your app and we charge [**$25 for 50K DDP connections per month**](https://gumroad.com/l/LyDy). You can also enable this add-on even if you have a free plan.\n\u003e\n\u003e 1 DDP connection = 1 Reatime client who established a DDP connection\n\n\u003ca href="https://gumroad.com/l/LyDy" class="gumroad-button"\u003ePre Order Now!\u003c/a\u003e\n\n## CPU/Memory Profiling\n\nYou\'ll be able to create CPU and memory profiles for your app in both development and production. This is an add-on for your app.\n\nThe add-on shows:\n\n* CPU-intensive packages in your app\n* CPU-intensive functions and who created them\n* Capture and compare heap dumps and learn how to find memory leaks with them\n\n\u003e You can enable this add-on for a [**$20/month**](https://gumroad.com/l/EqEf) flat free for you app. You can also enable this add-on even if you have a free plan.\n\n\u003ca href="https://gumroad.com/l/EqEf" class="gumroad-button"\u003ePre Order Now!\u003c/a\u003e\n\n## Better Error Manager\n\nCurrently, we track errors for methods only. With Error Manager, you\'ll be able to track all the server-side and client-side errors.\n\nThe improved Error Manager will be available for any app with a [**paid plan**](https://gumroad.com/l/fRGA).\n\n\u003e Client-side errors will be routed through your app. In future, you\'ll be able to send them directly to Kadira without routing them through your app.\n\n\u003ca href="https://gumroad.com/l/fRGA" class="gumroad-button"\u003ePre Order Now!\u003c/a\u003e','date':{'$date':'2014-06-30T00:00:00.000Z'},'layout':'blog_post','slug':'what-should-kadira-build-next','summary':'We are working on the next few major feature releases for Kadira.

Unfortunately, errors are something we can\'t avoid. So we must track and handle errors even though, we have tested our app a lot.\n\nIn the recent past, technology has been changed rapidly. But, how we track and fix errors hasn\'t changed that much specially for apps running live on production.\n\nTake a look at the following process. It\'s the process we often used to track and fix errors.\n\n* Capture errors via either logs or using some third party web service.\n* Look for error message and stack trace.\n* Try to locate the relevant place in the code.\n* Then try to fix it.\n\nI don\'t think I need to talk more about this because we all follow the same process.\n\n### Client Side Errors\n\nManaging server side errors is pretty easy compared with client side errors. For server errors all we need to focus on our servers. But tracking client side errors is not that simple.\n\nAlso, we can\'t really depend on stack traces because of the minified code. Even though we capture errors, it\'s not easy as server side errors due to the vendor specific issues and constraints. \n\n## Let\'s fix this!\n\nSo, we\'ve decided to find a cure for this and found a way.\n\nWhat we are doing is pretty simple. Along with capturing the error, we also capture the **context** and **events** related to the error. Then you can reproduce them in your development environment and identify and fix any issues quickly.\n\nCheck following error trace which has been captured with Kadira.\n\n![Server Side Meteor Error Trace on Kadira](https://i.cloudup.com/RLwjKSU464.png)\n\nIt contains:\n\n* input parameters for the error;\n* user, who\'s got this error;\n* all the DB, HTTP and other events that have occurred; and\n* the error message and the stack trace.\n\nNow it\'s super-easy to fix the error since you can clearly see what cause the error and it\'s context. We track all kinds of errors including pubsub, method, uncaught exceptions and internal Meteor errors.\n\n### What About Client Side Errors?\n\nWe do the same for client side errors as well. Look at the following error trace.\n\n![Client Side Meteor Error Trace on Kadira](https://cldup.com/-sxdlAvujw.png)\n\nIt has:\n\n* browser information;\n* user information; \n* all the Meteor method calls, subscriptions, sessions and all related events that have occurred;\n* a complete flow of the error starting from the page load event; and\n* the actual error message and stack trace.\n\nNow I think you know what to do with this information.\n\n\u003e we track events using client side zones. So, you need to add [`zones`](https://github.com/meteorhacks/zones) package into your app in addition to [`kadira`](https://github.com/meteorhacks/kadira). Otherwise, you can\'t see events.\n\n## Public Beta\n\nToday, we are happy to announce the public beta of the Kadira\'s Error Tracking solution and invite all of you to start tracking errors with Kadira.\n\nWe\'ve worked so hard on this over the last few months and a lot of people have helped us to test our error tracking solutions—thank you! \n\nSimply update the [`kadira`](https://github.com/meteorhacks/kadira) smart package and visit Errors section on the [Kadira UI](https://ui.kadira.io/).\n\n![Error Tracking with Kadira](https://cldup.com/hBQIhPgzhU.png)\n\n\u003e Error Tracking is free and unrestricted throughout public beta period.\n\nGive it a try and let us know how it goes.','date':{'$date':'2014-09-08T00:00:00.000Z'},'layout':'blog_post','slug':'awesome-error-tracking-solution-for-meteor-apps-with-kadira','summary':'Error tracking is so much important and goes side by side with performance issues.

But for me, it\'sa hackday. I started playing with React and wrote few simple apps. That\'sa nice experience.\n\nSo, I started thinking why not trying to implement SSR support. It\'s worth trying since now we\'ve all the tools we need.\n\n**Guys, It was a successful experience. Now we\'ve pure SSR support for Meteor.**\n\n### How It Works.\n\nLet\'s have a look at first.\n\n* Demo App: \u003chttp://flow-react-ssr.meteor.com/\u003e\n* Demo App Code: \u003chttps://github.com/orinami/hello-react-meteor\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe width="960" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qj2eppT27BU?rel=0\u0026amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"\u003e\n\u003c/iframe\u003e\n\nBasically, you just write your Meteor app as you do normally, but using React as the frontend. You use generic Meteor pub/sub to fetch data to the client and render your pages. \n\nHere, you need to use [FlowRouter](https://atmospherejs.com/meteorhacks/flow-router-ssr) and [ReactLayout](https://github.com/orinami/hello-react-meteor/blob/master/lib/react_layout.js) to render react components. ReactLayout is a pretty simple wrapper around `React.render()` which works both on the server and the client.\n\nIn the server, there is very interesting thing is happening. FlowRouter generate an isolated environment for each route. It use existing subscriptions to fetch data and assign them to collections in that environment. So, you don\'t need to change any of your code for the SSR support. \n\nThen when ReactLayout render components, it gets the data filtered by subscriptions for that route. (You can also use component level subscriptions.) \n\nAfter that ReactLayout handover the generate HTML to FlowRouter. This is designed in a way that we can add other layout engine support as well. So, FlowRrouter still doesn\'t directly works with the layout engine.\n\n### Where we can go\n\nThis is just the base work for SSR and there\'sa lot to be done to build a production ready version. But, now everything is clear and it\'sa matter of time we build and ship it. \n\n\u003e This is the something we are going to release with FlowRouter 3.0. We are very close to release FlowRouter 2.0.\n\nI\'ll talk more about this in the upcoming **Kadira Show** and if you like to work on this, just drop me a message.','date':{'$date':'2015-07-01T00:00:00.000Z'},'layout':'blog_post','slug':'meteor-ssr-support-using-flow-router-and-react','summary':'This is an experiment orinami did to implement Server Side Renderng(SSR) using Flow Router and React.','title':'Meteor Server Side Rendering Support with FlowRouter and React'}, {'id':'285292901bb38be8f57dd2885c517826','author_id':'8dlx7ak38fd39dv79ad','author':'orinami','category':'user-story','body':'[Brent Abrahams](http://cn.linkedin.com/pub/brent-abrahams/87/372/ba1) is a mathematics teacher who has build an online curriculum management app [Standbench](http://cn.linkedin.com/pub/brent-abrahams/87/372/ba1) for his organization using Meteor.

Then, we will discuss why all these matter and when we can use each of them.\n\n## Our Data Set\n\nFirst, we need a data set so we can calculate these measurements. We will look at a collection of response times collected over a minute from a web app. Here are those values (they are in milliseconds):\n\n~~~\n255, 168, 125, 11102, 59, 120, 500, 2, 98, 25\n~~~\n\nBy just looking at the data set, it\'s hard to get a clear picture. \nIt would be impossible, if we had a larger data set. (Normally, we\'ll have larger data sets.)\n\n\u003e You can access these values in a [Google Sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JsDB2ryWKBcSLRy-YHIjfIs-ESFZq2k3N7ggdVz5O84/edit?usp=sharing), which also has each of the measurements we are looking at in this article.\n\n## Analyzing the Data Set\n\nNow we need to analyze this data set and get some information from it. That\'s why we need to build some measurements.\n\n## Mean\n\nMean is the easiest measurement to generate. Simply add all the numbers together and divide by the number of items.\n\nFor this data set, the mean is **1245.4 milliseconds.**\n\nThat is, on average it took more than 1245 milliseconds to process a single request.\n\n\u003e The mean is a good measurement for representing a whole data set as a single value.\n\n## Histograms\n\nSometimes mean **does not** represent a data set accurately. For our data set, we got a mean of 1245 milliseconds. But, just by looking at the data set, we know a lot of requests took less than 200 milliseconds. So, the mean is not a good representation for our data set.\n\nMean has a higher value because it\'s sensitive to **outliers** like 11,102 milliseconds.\n\nSo, a histogram is the answer. It gives us a better view of the data set.\n\nHere\'s the histogram for our data set:\n\n![](https://cldup.com/CLt8N20YIH.png)\n\nIn the histogram, we group data points into equal groups. We call such a group a bin. The size of our bins (binSize) is 1000 milliseconds.\n\nIt\'s clear that we\'ve an outlier. We can get even more information if we make our bin size smaller.\n\n\u003e A histogram is a good tool for visualizing a data set. We can see what really happened.\n\n### Summarizing\n\nHistograms are always useful for visualizing a data set. But, we can\'t measure two different histograms and compare them easily. That\'s why we need to generate summary measurements from a histogram (or from the data set directly). \n\nLet\'s have a look at a few such measurements.\n\n#### Median\n\nMedian is the value in middle of the data set. We can simply get it by sorting the data set and picking the value in the middle. In our data set, it\'s **122.5 milliseconds.**\n\nWhat does the median represent? For 50% of the events, our response time was shorter than 125.5 milliseconds.\n\n\u003e So, the median gives us useful information about our data set and it\'s not sensitive to outliers.\n\n#### Percentiles\n\nTo calculate a percentile, we need to sort our data set and divide it into 100 equal groups. So, the 90th percentile is the value at beginning of the 90th group.\n\nIn our case, the 90th percentile is **1560.2 milliseconds.**\n\nThis means that more than 10% of our user base experienced a response time of 1560 milliseconds or higher. Alternatively, 90% of our users had a response time less than 1560 milliseconds.\n\n\u003e Median is equivalent to the 50th percentile. Percentiles are not sensitive to outliers.\n\n## Using All These Measurements\n\nWe can\'t say that one measurement is good or bad. Each of them has its own purpose. Let\'s discuss this. \n\n\u003e We will use the *response time* as an example metric, but our comments hold for any kind of metric. \n\n**Mean is a good measurement if we need to compare response times in different periods.**\n\nFor example, we can plot means for each minute as a graph to see how it behaves. Since it\'s sensitive to outliers, we **can** see them as well. Have a look at the following graph:\n\n![](https://cldup.com/hDcS9KuQb5.png)\n\nThere\'sa spike at the end of this chart. So, we can tell that there was something wrong then. We can now drill down into the data set at that time and find the problem.\n\n**That\'s when histograms and summary measurements come in handy.**\n\nLet\'s have a look at the histogram of our data set at that time:\n\n![](https://cldup.com/QM0ghRvB-a.png)\n\nHere, the 99th percentile is very high compared with the other percentiles, which indicates that there is an outlier.\n\nBut interestingly, our 90th and 95th percentiles are also quite high. So, that seems like a problem.\n\n\u003e Normally, we try to reduce response times. That\'s why we never look at lower percentile values like the 5th percentile. But, depending on your data set, you can pick any percentile you want.\n\nFor the response time, we usually look at the median, the 90th, 95th and 99th percentiles. It\'s up to you to decide which percentile you are going to look at. \n\nIf the response time is very critical to your app, you can try to reduce the 99th percentile. Otherwise, you could try to optimize the response time for the 90th or 95th percentile.\n\nIf you are really not worried about the response time, you could try to optimize the median.','date':{'$date':'2015-08-24T00:00:00.000Z'},'layout':'blog_post','slug':'mean-histogram-and-percentiles','summary':'A short guide to means, histograms and percentiles and how we can use them in a real situation.','title':'Understanding Mean, Histogram and Percentiles'}, {'id':'3d7a3853bf435c0f00e46e15257a94d9','author_id':'8dlx7ak38fd39dv79ad','author':'orinami','category':'product','body':'Today, I\'m very excited to be launching Kadira Debug version 2. This version comes with a lot of UI improvements and few CPU related functionalities.\n\n## Installation\n\nThis version of Kadira Debug is published as a new package: `kadira:debug`.

Now the event stream will pause if you click on it. Also, now you\'ll be able to filter the event stream for the data you actually need:\n\n\u003ca href="https://kadira.io/platform/kadira-debug/event-stream"\u003e\n \u003cimg \n src="https://cldup.com/i7bxh6m2WL.jpg" \n alt="Improved Event Stream" \n data-gif="https://cldup.com/aQC6-NFYNK.gif"/\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\n### CPU Profiling\n\nNow you can analyze both client and server CPU profiles using our CPU analyzer. Earlier it was only available inside our Kadira app and it was a bit hard to use. Now anyone can use it.\n\n[![Kadira CPU Analyzer](https://cldup.com/JNPqRdYhrv.png)](https://kadira.io/platform/kadira-debug/cpu-profiling)\n\n### Lots of UI Improvements\n\nBesides these major changes, we\'ve added many UI improvements, making Kadira Debug very productive to use. \n\nTry the new [Kadira Debug](http://debug.kadiraio.com/debug) and let us know what you think about it.','date':{'$date':'2015-07-20T00:00:00.000Z'},'layout':'blog_post','slug':'introducing-kadira-debug-v2','summary':'Today, we are introducing a new version of Kadira Debug.

Types dans GraphQL


GraphQL a le module 'grapql / type' utilisĂ© pour dĂ©terminer le type. Les types peuvent ĂȘtre importĂ©s Ă  partir du module 'graphql / type' ou du module racine 'graphql'.

Les types de base incluent ID , String , Int , Float et Boolean . Nous ajoutons également le type d'auteur. Pour ce faire, ajoutez à notre fichier schema.js:

 const AuthorType = new GraphQLObjectType({ name: "Author", description: "This represent an author", fields: () => ({ id: {type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLString)}, name: {type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLString)}, twitterHandle: {type: GraphQLString} }) }); 


Comme vous pouvez le voir, pour ajouter un nouveau type, nous avions besoin: créer un objet de la classe GraphQLObjectType et prescrire certaines de ses propriétés. Nom et description - pour décrire le type, Champs pour définir les attributs du type Auteur: id, nom et twitterHandler.

Plus de détails sur les types sur graphql.org/graphql-js/type/

Maintenant, créons un type pour les publications:

 const PostType = new GraphQLObjectType({ name: "Post", description: "This represent a Post", fields: () => ({ id: {type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLString)}, title: {type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLString)}, body: {type: GraphQLString}, author: { type: AuthorType, resolve: function(post) { return _.find(Authors, a => a.id == post.author_id); } } }) }); 


Ajoutez ceci Ă  schema.js. Cela crĂ©era un objet PostType qui sera utilisĂ© dans la requĂȘte racine (littĂ©ralement la requĂȘte racine. En fait, le point d'entrĂ©e de notre API GraphQL).

Racine racine


La requĂȘte racine est utilisĂ©e pour rĂ©vĂ©ler les ressources disponibles pour les clients de votre application. Nous pourrions mettre Ă  disposition 2 ressources: les auteurs et les articles.

Ajoutons Ă  notre fichier `schema.js`:
 const BlogQueryRootType = new GraphQLObjectType({ name: 'BlogAppSchema', description: "Blog Application Schema Query Root", fields: () => ({ authors: { type: new GraphQLList(AuthorType), description: "List of all Authors", resolve: function() { return Authors } }, posts: { type: new GraphQLList(PostType), description: "List of all Posts", resolve: function() { return Posts } } }) }); 


Ici, la requĂȘte racine est dĂ©finie comme BlogQueryRootType. Si vous remarquez, un nouveau type a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©clarĂ© ici: new GraphQLList (). Il crĂ©e un wrapper autour d'autres types qui reprĂ©sente une liste de ces types.

Définition du schéma


Le diagramme dĂ©finit comment vous souhaitez que les donnĂ©es de votre application soient gĂ©nĂ©rĂ©es et comment vous souhaitez que les donnĂ©es soient connectĂ©es les unes aux autres. La dĂ©finition du schĂ©ma affecte la façon dont les donnĂ©es seront stockĂ©es dans votre base de donnĂ©es (ou bases de donnĂ©es). Dans la dĂ©finition de schĂ©ma, vous dĂ©terminez Ă©galement quelles requĂȘtes, mutations et abonnements seront disponibles pour votre interface d'affichage de donnĂ©es.

Ajoutons un schéma à notre fichier:
 const BlogAppSchema = new GraphQLSchema({ query: BlogQueryRootType /*       ,    .       . mutation: BlogMutationRootType */ }); 


Ici, la requĂȘte se voit attribuer l'objet BlogQueryRootType, qui sera utilisĂ© comme demande d'API racine.

Implémentation de l'API GraphQL


Nous avons besoin du paquet `lodash`. `Lodash` est une boßte à outils Javascript qui fournit des méthodes propres et performantes pour manipuler des objets et des collections. Si vous connaissiez la bibliothÚque de soulignements, c'est génial! Lodash a été créé à partir de celui-ci en ajoutant des fonctionnalités supplémentaires et en résolvant certains problÚmes de performances de soulignement.

 npm install lodash --save 


Avec cette commande, la bibliothÚque lodash sera installée et la dépendance correspondante ajoutée au fichier package.json.

Ajoutez le code suivant en haut du fichier schema.js.

 const _ = require('lodash'); 


Examinons maintenant le fichier schema.js. C'est Ă  quoi le fichier devrait ressembler Ă  la fin.

 const _ = require('lodash'); // Authors  Posts     // JSON     const Authors = require('./data/authors'); const Posts = require('./data/posts'); let { //    GraphQL,      GraphQLString, GraphQLList, GraphQLObjectType, /*          */ GraphQLNonNull, //        GraphQLSchema } = require('graphql'); const AuthorType = new GraphQLObjectType({ name: "Author", description: "This represent an author", fields: () => ({ id: { type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLString)}, name: { type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLString)}, twitterHandler: {type: GraphQLString} }) }); const PostType = new GraphQLObjectType({ name: "s", description: "This represent a s", fields: () => ({ id: {type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLString)}, title: {type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLString)}, body: {type: GraphQLString}, author: { type: AuthorType, resolve: function(post) { return _.find(Authors, a => a.id == post.author_id); } } }) }); const BlogQueryRootType = new GraphQLObjectType({ name: "BlogAppSchema", description: "Blog Application Schema Query Root", fields: () => ({ authors: { type: new GraphQLList(AuthorType), description: "List of all Authors", resolve: function() { return Authors } }, posts: { type: new GraphQLList(PostType), description: "List of all Posts", resolve: function() { return Posts } } }) }); const BlogAppSchema = new GraphQLSchema({ query: BlogQueryRootType /*       ,    .       . mutation: BlogMutationRootType */ }); module.exports = BlogAppSchema; 

Si vous remarquez dans PostType, nous avons un attribut de résolution supplémentaire. Resolve est une fonction qui peut manipuler des données, convertir leurs valeurs, etc. et les remettre à la fin de l'opération.

BlogAppSchema sera exporté dans le fichier server.js à l'aide de module.exports

Maintenant, créez le fichier server.js dans le dossier racine et ajoutez ce code:

 const express = require('express'); const graphqlHTTP = require('express-graphql'); const schema = require('./src/schema.js'); let port = 3000; const app = express(); app.use('/', graphqlHTTP({ schema: schema, graphiql: true })); app.listen(port); console.log('GraphQL API server running at localhost:'+ port); 

Maintenant, vérifiez notre résultat sur localhost: 3000. Pour ce faire, ouvrez un terminal et procédez comme suit:

 node server.js 


Résultat:



C'est graphiql, il vous aidera Ă  tester l'API dans le navigateur. Donc, la requĂȘte suivante:

  { posts { id title author { name } } } 

Donnera un résultat comme celui-ci:



Conclusion


Je suis tellement content d'avoir terminé cette leçon avec vous. Vous savez maintenant comment créer une API GraphQL basée sur Express et NodeJS. J'espÚre que la leçon a été intéressante et que vous en avez beaucoup appris.
