Description
Most GraphQL libraries require developers to maintain two sources of truth for their GraphQL API: the schema and the corresponding code (data fetchers or resolvers, and types). Given the similarities between Kotlin and GraphQL, such as the ability to define nullable/non-nullable types, a schema can be generated from Kotlin code without any separate schema specification. graphql-kotlin builds upon graphql-java to allow code-only, or resolver-first, GraphQL services to be built.

README
GraphQL Kotlin
GraphQL Kotlin is a collection of libraries, built on top of graphql-java, that simplify running GraphQL clients and servers in Kotlin.
Visit our documentation site for more details.
📦 Modules
- clients - Lightweight GraphQL Kotlin HTTP clients based on Ktor HTTP client and Spring WebClient
- examples - Example apps that use graphql-kotlin libraries to test and demonstrate usages
- executions - Custom instrumentations for a GraphQL operation
- generator - Code-First schema generator and extensions to build Apollo Federation schemas
- plugins - Gradle and Maven plugins
- servers - Common and library specific modules for running a GraphQL server
⌨️ Usage
While all the individual modules of graphql-kotlin are published as stand-alone libraries, the most common use cases are running a server and generating a type-safe client.
Server Example
A basic example of how you can run a GraphQL server can be found on our server documentation section.
Client Example
A basic setup of a GraphQL client can be found on our client documentation section.
📋 Documentation
More examples and documentation are available on our documentation site hosted in GitHub Pages. We also have the examples module which can be run locally for testing and shows example code using the libraries.
If you have a question about something you can not find in our documentation, the indivdual module READMEs, or javadocs, feel free to contribute to the docs or start a disucssion and tag it with the question label.
If you would like to contribute to our documentation see the website directory for more information.
