AutoGraph is a Swift client framework for making requests using GraphQL and mapping the responses to strongly typed models. Models may be represented by any Decodable type. AutoGraph relies heavily on Swift's type safety to drive it, leading to safer, compile time checked code.

AutoGraph's current philosophy is to bring your own storage/caching layer. There's simply too much variety in the ways users may wish to store or cache their data and therefore we don't include any specific approach. Simply use AutoGraph to handle codegen and networking and then use whatever storage desired.
This doesn't preclude us from exploring storage/caching in the future, but if so it will come as a separate library with AutoGraph as a dependency.
AutoGraph includes a GraphQL query builder to construct queries in a type safe manner. However, using the query builder is not required; any object which inherits GraphQLQuery can act as a query. String inherits this by default.
Query Example
Raw GraphQL AutoGraph
----------- ---------
query MyCoolQuery { AutoGraphQL.Operation(type: .query, name: "MyCoolQuery", fields: [
user { Object(name: "user", fields: [
favorite_authors { Object(name: "favorite_authors", fields: [,
uuid "uuid",
name "name"
} ]),
uuid "uuid",
signature "signature"
} ])
}Mutation Example
Raw GraphQL
-----------
mutation MyCoolMutation {
updateFavoriteAuthor(uuid: "long_id", input: { name: "My Cool Name" })
{
favorite_author {
uuid
name
}
}
}
AutoGraph
---------
AutoGraphQL.Operation(type: .mutation, name: "MyCoolMutation", fields: [
Object(
name: "updateFavoriteAuthor",
arguments: [ // Continues "updateFavoriteAuthor".
"uuid" : "long_id",
"input" : [
"name" : "My Cool Class"
]
],
fields: [
Object(
name: "favorite_author",
fields: [
"uuid",
"name"
])
]

AutoGraph now supports subscriptions using the graphql-ws protocol. This is this same protocol that Apollo GraphQL server uses, meaning subscriptions will work with Apollo server.
let url = URL(string: "wss.mygraphql.com/subscriptions")!
let webSocketClient = try WebSocketClient(url: url)
webSocketClient.delegate = self // Allows the user to inspect errors and events as they arrive.
let client = try AlamofireClient(url: AutoGraph.localHost,
session: Session(configuration: MockURLProtocol.sessionConfiguration(),
interceptor: AuthHandler()))
let autoGraph = AutoGraph(client: client, webSocketClient: webSocketClient)
let request = FilmSubscriptionRequest()
let subscriber = self.subject.subscribe(request) { (result) in
switch result {
case .success(let object): // Handle new object.
case .failure(let error): // Handle error
}
}
// Sometime later...
try autoGraph.unsubscribe(subscriber: subscriber!)
AutoGraph relies entirely on Decodable for mapping GraphQL JSON responses to data models. It's as easy as conforming the model to Decodable!
Behind the scenes AutoGraph uses JSONValue for type safe JSON. Feel free to import it for your own needs.
AutoGraph performs all network requests and mapping off of the main thread. Since a Request will eventually return whole models back to the caller on the main thread, it's important to consider thread safety with the model types being used. For this reason, using immutable struct types as models is recommended.
AutoGraph currently relies on Alamofire for networking. However this isn't a hard requirement. Pull requests for this are encouraged!
- Create a class that conforms to the Request protocol. You can also extend an existing class to conform to this protocol. Request is a base protocol used for GraphQL requests sent through AutoGraph. It provides the following parameters.
queryDocument- The query being sent. You may use the Query Builder or a String.variables- The variables to be sent with the query. ADictionaryis accepted.rootKeyPath- Defines where to start mapping data from. Empty string ("") will map from the root of the JSON.- An
associatedtype SerializedObject: Decodablemust be provided to tell AutoGraph what data model to decode to. - A number of methods to inform the Request of its point in the life cycle.
class FilmRequest: Request {
/*
query film {
film(id: "ZmlsbXM6MQ==") {
id
title
episodeID
director
openingCrawl
}
}
*/
let query = Operation(type: .query,
name: "film",
fields: [
Object(name: "film",
alias: nil,
arguments: ["id" : "ZmlsbXM6MQ=="],
fields: [
"id", // May use string literal or Scalar.
Scalar(name: "title", alias: nil),
Scalar(name: "episodeID", alias: nil),
Scalar(name: "director", alias: nil),
Scalar(name: "openingCrawl", alias: nil)])
])
let variables: [AnyHashable : Any]? = nil
let rootKeyPath: String = "data.film"
public func willSend() throws { }
public func didFinishRequest(response: HTTPURLResponse?, json: JSONValue) throws { }
public func didFinish(result: Result<Film, Error>) throws { }
}- Call send on AutoGraph
autoGraph.send(request, completion: { [weak self] result in ... }
- Handle the response
- result is a generic
Result<SerializedObject, Error>enum with success and failure cases.
- result is a generic
Sending via Objective-C isn't directly possible because of AutoGraph's use of associatedtype and generics. It is possible to build a bridge(s) from Swift into Objective-C to send requests.
- Open an issue if you run into any problems.
- Open an issue describing the feature add or problem being solved. An admin will respond ASAP to discuss the addition.
- You may begin working immediately if you so please, by adding an issue it helps inform others of what is already being worked on and facilitates discussion.
- Fork the project and submit a pull request. Please include tests for new code and an explanation of the problem being solved. An admin will review your code and approve it before merging.
- Keep LinuxTests up-to-date
swift test --generate-linuxmain - If you see an error like this while building from the command line
could not build Objective-C moduletry prepending commands withxcrun -sdk macosx
