GraphQL Network Communication Framework
ATTENTION: This is just a meta-package for GraphQL-IO. Please check out GraphQL-IO-Client and GraphQL-IO-Server for the real client and server implementation packages!
This is a GraphQL-based network communication framework for JavaScript clients, running under either Node.js or in the Browser, and JavaScript servers, running under Node.js. The client-side is provided by the module GraphQL-IO-Client, the server-side is provided by the module GraphQL-IO-Server. This is just a meta-package which bundles the server and client packages for being able to conveniently reference both the server and the client in their latest versions through a single package. Feel free to just use (particular versions of) the individual packages directly.
On the client-side, it is based on the GraphQL engine GraphQL.js, the GraphQL client library Apollo Client, its WebSocket network interface Apollo Client WS and the HTTP client library Axios.
On the server-side, it is based on the GraphQL engine GraphQL.js, the GraphQL schema execution library GraphQL-Tools, the GraphQL type definition library GraphQL-Tools-Types, the GraphQL subscription management library GraphQL-Tools-Subscribe, the network communication framework HAPI, the WebSocket integration plugin HAPI-Plugin-WebSocket and the GraphiQL integration plugin HAPI-Plugin-GraphiQL.

const server = new Server({ url: "http://127.0.0.1:12345/api" })

await client.connect()
let result = await client.query("{ hello }")
await client.disconnect()
console.log(result.data)For more elaborate samples, check out the Samples folder. These samples show a minimum Hello World, subscriptions over separate client connections, real-time performance of server, usage from within Node.js and the Browser, etc.
