@constructive-io/graphql-query

Fluent GraphQL query and mutation builder for PostGraphile-based schemas.

Installation

npm install @constructive-io/graphql-query

Why Use @constructive-io/graphql-query?

• ⚡ Build complex, nested GraphQL queries fluently
• ✅ Schema-aware via introspection (PostGraphile optimized)
• 🧠 Prevents common query syntax issues
• 🧩 Designed for composability and clean syntax

Usage

import { QueryBuilder } from '@constructive-io/graphql-query';

const builder = new QueryBuilder({
  introspection: { ...queries, ...mutations } // provide your GraphQL schema metadata
});

const result = builder
  .query('Action')
  .edges(true)
  .getMany({
    select: {
      id: true,
      name: true,
      photo: true,
      title: true,
      actionResults: {
        select: {
          id: true,
          actionId: true
        },
        variables: {
          first: 10,
          before: null,
          filter: {
            name: {
              in: ['abc', 'def']
            },
            actionId: {
              equalTo: 'dc310161-7a42-4b93-6a56-9fa48adcad7e'
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  })
  .print();
