GraphQL::Constraint::Directive

Allows using @constraint as a directive to validate input data. Inspired by Constraints Directives RFC and OpenAPI.
This gem is an implementation of graphql-constraint-directive in Ruby.

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add graphql-constraint-directive

Usage

This gem is an implemented as a plugin of graphql-ruby. Attach to your schema as follows:

class MySchema < GraphQL::Schema
  use GraphQL::Constraint::Directive
end

Then, set the directive to the argument for which you want to set validation:

class CreateBook < BaseMutation
  argument :title, String,
           required: true,
           directives: { GraphQL::Constraint::Directive::Constraint => { min_length: 1, max_length: 200 } }

  field :book, Book, null: false

  def resolve(title:)
    # ...some codes
    {
      book: book
    }
  end
end

This will dump the following schema:

input CreateBookInput {
  title: String! @constraint(minLength: 1, maxLength: 200)
}

type Mutation {
  createBook(
    input: CreateBookInput!
  ): CreateBookPayload
}
