GraphQL endpoint for WordPress

License: GNU General Public License v3.0

Languages: PHP, HTML

graphql-wp

A GraphQL endpoint for WordPress that's easy to customize.

This is a WordPress Plugin that exposes a GraphQL endpoint at /graphql.

Uses this excellent graphql-php library.

Supports Relay Connections.

Install

composer require mohiohio/graphql-wp

If your aren't familiar with using composer with WordPress I'd recommend using a setup like bedrock. Otherwise you will at the least need to require autoload.php for this to work.

Using

The best way to explore / develop with this is by visiting /graphiql after installation. This will show you the endpoints and arguments that are available. Note this will only work if you are a logged in admin user.

wp_query

This is designed to follow WordPress' existing WP Query functions. So as a rule you can pass the same parameters as your can to WP Query*.

*In reality there are a lot of params you can pass to WP_Query, and I've only implemented the ones that I've needed so far. But adding more is trivial as the arguments are just passed directly to the get_posts function, so its just a matter of defining them in the schema.

query example {
  wp_query {
    posts(first: 10) {
      edges {
        node {
          title
          name
          terms(taxonomy: "category") {
            name
            slug
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Will give you

{
  "data": {
    "wp_query": {
      "posts": {
        "edges": [
          {
            "node": {
              "title": "Dashboard",
              "name": "hello-world",
              "terms": [
                {
                  "name": "Uncategorized",
                  "slug": "uncategorized"
                }
              ]
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Post

And of course you can get an individual post

query example {
  wp_post(ID: 9) {
    title
    content
    status
  }
}

Custom Fields

Any meta fields are available like so

query example {
  wp_post(ID: 9) {
    title
    foo: meta_value(key: "foo")
    bar: meta_value(key: "bar")
  }
}

If you want to define your own resolver / type you can extend the field schema for a post type like so.

// There is a get_{post_type}_schema call available for each post type
add_filter('graphql-wp/get_post_schema', function($schema) {

    $schema['fields'] = function() use ($schema) {
        // Note call to "parent" function here
        return $schema['fields']() + [
            'foo' => [
                'type' => Type::string(),
                'resolve' => function($post) {
                    return get_post_meta($post->ID, 'foo' ,true);
                }
            ],
            'bar' => [
                'type' => Type::string(),
                'resolve' => function($post) {
                    return get_post_meta($post->ID, 'bar' ,true);
                }
            ]
        ];
    };
    return $schema;
});

Custom Post Types

This is how you can add custom post types ( which have custom fields ) to a client specific plugin. graphql-wp/get_post_types is a good hook for this. Where $types is a hash of the schema we are working with, so just add new items into this and you are good to go.

use GraphQL\Type\Definition\Type;
use Mohiohio\GraphQLWP\Type\Definition\Post;
use Mohiohio\GraphQLWP\Type\Definition\Attachment;

class Foo extends Post {

    static function getDescription() {
        return "A custom post type example, for post type `foo`";
    }

    static function getFieldSchema() {
        return parent::getFieldSchema() + [
            'website' => [
                'type' => Type::string(),
                'resolve' => function($post) {
                    return get_post_meta($post->ID,'website',true);
                },
            ],
            'image' => [
                'type' => Attachment::getInstance(),
                'resolve' => function($post) {
                    $attachment_id = get_post_meta($post->ID,'image',true);
                    return $attachment_id ? get_post($attachment_id) : null;
                },
            ]
        ];
    }
}

add_filter('graphql-wp/schema-types', function($types){
    return array_merge($types, [
        Foo::getInstance()
    ]);
});
