GraphQL Example

Github StackBlitz

This project demonstrates how to set up a GraphQL server in a Go application using the Fiber framework and the graphql-go library.

Prerequisites​

Ensure you have the following installed:

Setup​

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/gofiber/recipes.git
    cd recipes/graphql

  2. Install dependencies:

    go get

Running the Application​

  1. Start the application:

    go run main.go

  2. The server listens on port 9090 and exposes a single endpoint at / that accepts both GET and POST requests.

Usage​

GET request​

Pass the GraphQL query as a URL-encoded query parameter:

curl 'http://localhost:9090/?query=query%7Bhello%7D'

POST request​

Send the query as a JSON body with Content-Type: application/json:

curl 'http://localhost:9090/' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"query":"query{hello}"}'

Both return a JSON response like:

{"data":{"hello":"world"}}
