Directives are used by the GraphQL runtime as a way of modifying execution behavior. Type system creators will usually not create these directly.

Enum Type Definition

A GraphQLError describes an Error found during the parse, validate, or execute phases of performing a GraphQL operation. In addition to a message and stack trace, it also includes information about the locations in a GraphQL document and/or execution result that correspond to the Error.

Given a Source object, this returns a Lexer for that source. A Lexer is a stateful stream generator in that every time it is advanced, it returns the next token in the Source. Assuming the source lexes, the final Token emitted by the lexer will be of kind EOF, after which the lexer will repeatedly return the same EOF token whenever called.

Contains a range of UTF-8 character offsets and token references that identify the region of the source from which the AST derived.

A representation of source input to GraphQL. The name and locationOffset parameters are optional, but they are useful for clients who store GraphQL documents in source files. For example, if the GraphQL input starts at line 40 in a file named Foo.graphql, it might be useful for name to be "Foo.graphql" and location to be { line: 40, column: 1 }. The line and column properties in locationOffset are 1-indexed.

Represents a range of characters represented by a lexical token within a Source.

TypeInfo is a utility class which, given a GraphQL schema, can keep track of the current field and type definitions at any point in a GraphQL document AST during a recursive descent by calling enter(node) and leave(node).

Constant string used for default reason for a deprecation.

If a resolve function is not given, then a default resolve behavior is used which takes the property of the source object of the same name as the field and returns it as the result, or if it's a function, returns the result of calling that function while passing along args and context.

If a resolveType function is not given, then a default resolve behavior is used which attempts two strategies:

The set of allowed directive location values.

Used to declare element of a GraphQL schema as deprecated.

Used to conditionally include fields or fragments.

Used to conditionally skip (exclude) fields or fragments.

Used to provide a URL for specifying the behavior of custom scalar definitions.

The set of allowed kind values for AST nodes.

Note that these are GraphQLField and not GraphQLFieldConfig, so the format for args is different.

The full list of specified directives.

This set includes all validation rules defined by the GraphQL spec.

An exported enum describing the different kinds of tokens that the lexer emits.

Provided two composite types, determine if they "overlap". Two composite types overlap when the Sets of possible concrete types for each intersect.

Executable definitions

Implements the "Evaluating requests" section of the GraphQL specification.

Also implements the "Evaluating requests" section of the GraphQL specification. However, it guarantees to complete synchronously (or throw an error) assuming that all field resolvers are also synchronous.

Produces a new schema given an existing schema and a document which may contain GraphQL type extensions and definitions. The original schema will remain unaltered.

Fields on correct type

Given two schemas, returns an Array containing descriptions of all the types of breaking changes covered by the other functions down below.

Given two schemas, returns an Array containing descriptions of all the types of potentially dangerous changes covered by the other functions down below.

A validation rule which reports deprecated usages.

Given a GraphQLError, format it according to the rules described by the Response Format, Errors section of the GraphQL Specification.

Fragments on composite type

Given an ast node, returns its string description.

Prepares an object map of argument values given a directive definition and a AST node which may contain directives. Optionally also accepts a map of variable values.

Takes a Source and a UTF-8 character offset, and returns the corresponding line and column as a SourceLocation.

Returns an operation AST given a document AST and optionally an operation name. If a name is not provided, an operation is only returned if only one is provided in the document.

Extracts the root type of the operation from the schema.

Given a visitor instance, if it is leaving or not, and a node kind, return the function the visitor runtime should call.

The graphqlSync function also fulfills GraphQL operations by parsing, validating, and executing a GraphQL document along side a GraphQL schema. However, it guarantees to complete synchronously (or throw an error) assuming that all field resolvers are also synchronous.

Build an IntrospectionQuery from a GraphQLSchema

Test if the given value is a GraphQL directive.

Provided two types, return true if the types are equal (invariant).

Test if the given value is a GraphQL schema.

Provided a type and a super type, return true if the first type is either equal or a subset of the second super type (covariant).

Returns an Error if a name is invalid.

Given an arbitrary value, presumably thrown while attempting to execute a GraphQL operation, produce a new GraphQLError aware of the location in the document responsible for the original Error.

Given a GraphQL source, parses it into a Document. Throws GraphQLError if a syntax error is encountered.

Given a string containing a GraphQL Type (ex. [Int!]), parse the AST for that type. Throws GraphQLError if a syntax error is encountered.

Given a string containing a GraphQL value, parse the AST for that value. Throws GraphQLError if a syntax error is encountered.

Converts an AST into a string, using one set of reasonable formatting rules.

Prints a GraphQLError to a string, representing useful location information about the error's position in the source.

Render a helpful description of the location in the GraphQL Source document.

Accepts options as a second argument:

Render a helpful description of the location in the GraphQL Source document.

Provided required arguments

Given a Path, return an Array of the path keys.

Scalar leafs

separateOperations accepts a single AST document which may contain many operations and fragments and returns a collection of AST documents each of which contains a single operation as well the fragment definitions it refers to.

Subscriptions must only include one field.

Strips characters that are not significant to the validity or execution of a GraphQL document:

• UnicodeBOM
• WhiteSpace
• LineTerminator
• Comment
• Comma
• BlockString indentation

Implements the "Subscribe" algorithm described in the GraphQL specification.

Produces a GraphQLError representing a syntax error, containing useful descriptive information about the syntax error's position in the source.

Given a Schema and an AST node describing a type, return a GraphQLType definition which applies to that type. For example, if provided the parsed AST node for [User], a GraphQLList instance will be returned, containing the type called "User" found in the schema. If a type called "User" is not found in the schema, then undefined will be returned.

visit() will walk through an AST using a depth-first traversal, calling the visitor's enter function at each node in the traversal, and calling the leave function after visiting that node and all of its child nodes.
