Solidus: GraphQL

[mihado]

Hello everybody,

I'm about to work on a few ecommerce projects in Vietnam.
I'm planning to just use vanilla solidus & solidus_frontend initially but I'd eventually rewrite the front-end using React & Apollo.

• Is GraphQL part of the road map?
• Is there any existing project? For now I've only discovered a PoC https://github.com/vinsol/spree_graphql_playground
• If anyone wants to work on this together pls let me know

Hello there! GraphQL is not part of the roadmap yet but I think it would be a great extension for Solidus.

I'd really like the idea to have a GraphQL API and I think that its flexibility would be perfect for this kind of platform. I'm interested in working on this! Feel free to contact me on the Solidus Slack channel!

I started a proof of concept:
https://github.com/valiants/solidus_graphql
https://github.com/mihado/test_solidus_graphql/blob/master/app/graphql/types/query_type.rb

At this stage, I aim to create a read only graphql end point which will provide products & variants.

Hey @mihado work is being done here as well: https://github.com/boomerdigital/solidus_graphql_api

I would love to see your work get included in that repo. 👍

I'm trying to create time to work on this next month. I'll join force.

Work is going head into https://github.com/solidusio-contrib/solidus_graphql_api.

We plan to have an MVP in the next months, with the GraphQL API for the storefront only.

I think we can close this one: the GraphQL extension is ready here: https://github.com/solidusio-contrib/solidus_graphql_api. 🎉
