GraphQL JIT

!npm

This is a fork of zalando-incubator/graphql-jit that features the following improvements:

- ~~Support for GraphQL Subscription~~ (merged in upstream)
- Custom JSON Stringify factory function
- Minimal dependencies for lightweight bundle

GraphQL-JS is a very well written runtime implementation of the latest GraphQL spec. However, by compiling to JS, V8 is able to create optimized
code which yields much better performance. graphql-jit leverages this behaviour of V8 optimization by compiling the queries into functions to significantly improve performance (See benchmarks below)

#### Benchmarks

GraphQL-JS 16 on Node 16.13.0

``bash
$ yarn benchmark skip-json
Starting introspection
graphql-js x 1,941 ops/sec ±2.50% (225 runs sampled)
graphql-jit x 6,158 ops/sec ±2.38% (222 runs sampled)

graphql-js x 26,620 ops/sec ±2.41% (225 runs sampled)
graphql-jit x 339,223 ops/sec ±2.94% (215 runs sampled)

The goal is to support the June 2018 version of the GraphQL spec.

#### Differences to graphql-js

In order to achieve better performance, the graphql-jit compiler introduces some limitations.
The primary limitation is that all computed properties must have a resolver and only these can return a Promise.

Install

`sh
yarn add graphql-jit
`

Example

For complete working examples, check the examples/ directory

#### Create a schema

`js
const typeDefs =
type Query {
hello: String
}
;
const resolvers = {
Query: {
hello() {
return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(() => resolve("World!"), 200));
}
}
};

const { makeExecutableSchema } = require("@graphql-tools/schema");
const schema = makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs, resolvers });
`

#### Compile a Query

`js
const query =
{
hello
}
;
const { parse } = require("graphql");
const document = parse(query);

const { compileQuery, isCompiledQuery } = require("graphql-jit");
const compiledQuery = compileQuery(schema, document);
// check if the compilation is successful

if (!isCompiledQuery(compiledQuery)) {
console.error(compiledQuery);
throw new Error("Error compiling query");
}
`

#### Execute the Query

`js
const executionResult = await compiledQuery.query(root, context, variables);
console.log(executionResult);
`

#### Subscribe to the Query

`js
const result = await compiledQuery.subscribe(root, context, variables);
for await (const value of result) {
console.log(value);
}
`

API

$3

Compiles the document AST, using an optional operationName and compiler options.

- schema {GraphQLSchema} - graphql schema object
- document {DocumentNode} - document query AST ,can be obtained by parse from graphql
- operationName {string} - optional operation name in case the document contains multiple operations(queries/mutations/subscription).
- compilerOptions {Object} - Configurable options for the compiler

- disableLeafSerialization {boolean, default: false} - disables leaf node serializers. The serializers validate the content of the field at runtime
so this option should only be set to true if there are strong assurances that the values are valid.
- customSerializers {Object as Map, default: {}} - Replace serializer functions for specific types. Can be used as a safer alternative
for overly expensive serializers
- customJSONSerializer {function, default: undefined} - A function to be called with CompilationContext to produce also a JSON serializer function. The default stringifier function is JSON.stringify

#### compiledQuery.query(root: any, context: any, variables: Maybe<{ [key: string]: any }>)

the compiled function that can be called with a root value, a context and the required variables.

#### compiledQuery.subscribe(root: any, context: any, variables: Maybe<{ [key: string]: any }>)

(available for GraphQL Subscription only) the compiled function that can be called with a root value, a context and the required variables to produce either an AsyncIterator (if successful) or an ExecutionResult (error).

#### compiledQuery.stringify(value: any)

the compiled function for producing a JSON string. It will be JSON.stringify unless compilerOptions.customJSONSerializer` is a function.
The value argument should be the return of the compiled GraphQL function.
