graphql-language-service-cli

Note: As of 3.0.0, this package has been renamed from graphql-language-service to graphql-language-service-cli. please now use the graphql-lsp bin, instead of the graphql binary.

We welcome your feedback and suggestions.

GraphQL Language Service provides an interface for building GraphQL language services for IDEs.

Almost 100% for Microsoft's Language Server Protocol is in place

Supported features include:

• Diagnostics (GraphQL syntax linting/validations) (spec-compliant)
• Autocomplete suggestions (spec-compliant)
• Hyperlink to fragment definitions and named types (type, input, enum) definitions (spec-compliant)
• Outline view support for queries and SDL
• Symbols support across the workspace

Installation and Usage

Dependencies

An LSP-compatible client with a file watcher that sends watch notifications to the server.

DROPPED: GraphQL Language Service no longer depends on Watchman

Only node 9 or greater, and npm or yarn are required dependencies.

Installation

with yarn:

yarn global add graphql-language-service-cli

with npm:

npm install -g graphql-language-service-cli

either will install the graphql-lsp bin globally

GraphQL configuration file (.graphqlrc.yml)

Check out graphql-config

The custom graphql language configurations are:

• customDirectives - ['@myExampleDirective']
• customValidationRules - returns rules array with parameter ValidationContext from graphql/validation

LSP Workspace Configuration

When running server, your LSP-compatible client can provide additional workspace configuration.

For example, coc.nvim allows for providing custom settings

"languageserver": {
  "graphql": {
    "command": "graphql-lsp",
    "args": ["server", "-m", "stream"],
    // customize filetypes to your needs
    "filetypes": ["typescript", "typescriptreact", "graphql"],
    "settings": {
        "graphql-config.load.legacy": true
    }
  }
}

this would allow for legacy graphql-config file formats like .graphqlconfig, useful on projects maintaining compatibility with the intellij plugin

Using the command-line interface

graphql-lsp server --schema=localhost:3000

The node executable contains several commands: server and the command-line language service methods (validate, autocomplete, outline).
