🙏 Adding 100% compliance with GraphQL!

20th January 2020 — 3 minute read

I have added support to the GraphQL introspection fields, so my implementation of a GraphQL server in PHP is now 100% GraphQL-spec compliant!

Because now it's officially GraphQL, I will simply call this project GraphQL by PoP 😁.

The API comes in 2 modes:

Classic GraphQL: The GraphQL that you expect
Extended GraphQL: An upgraded version of GraphQL, supporting many more features (such as composable fields and composable directives), and using a URL-based syntax.

Note: The demo website runs on WordPress, has the GraphQL endpoint here, and its GraphiQL client is here.

Since supporting introspection field "__schema", we can now use GraphiQL's Doc Explorer to read the schema documentation:

I must still add support for mutations. I have already started work on it, and depending on my time availability, I may be able to finish it in a couple of months.

If your project uses WordPress, you can already use it (the API is CMS-agnostic, so it can also work with Symfony/Laravel/Joomla/Drupal, however adapters for them have not been implemented yet).

So give GraphQL by PoP a try, you won't regret it! And let me know how it goes 🙏
