gcli

Have a CLI to all GraphQL servers!

gCLI transforms a GraphQL schema into a CLI, allowing you to query, run mutations (in the future) and see relevant fields you can query via generated help.

Setup

1. Install https://github.com/graphql-cli/graphql-cli

2. In a directory of your choice, run graphql init and setup a project with a default endpoint.

This will create .graphqlconfig.yaml file that then will be used by gcli. The project name will be used in commands, e.g.:

gcli github viewer url

Help shows fields of a type on the given selection set:

➜ ✗ gcli github --help
Usage: gcli github <field> ...

Options:
  -h, --help  Show help                                                                                                                              [commands: help] [boolean]

  codeOfConduct          Look up a code of conduct by its key
  codesOfConduct         Look up a code of conduct by its key
