Allow me to present, a working (though incomplete) implementation of simpleQL!
The curl
command above will send back an array of pokemon names as demonstration. In fact, each of the following fields are possible:
Pokemon {
name
height
weight
stats {
hp
attack
defense
specialAttack
specialDefense
speed
}
forms {
name
height
weight
stats {
hp
attack
defense
specialAttack
specialDefense
speed
}
}
}
Too much for you? That's fine, just use the match
keyword!
Pokemon {
match name "charizard"
forms {
name
height
weight
}
}
How about matching compound sub-types?
Pokemon {
name
match forms {
match name "charizard-mega-x"
}
}
There are a few rules: every query must start by searching for a specific type, in this case Pokemon
. Also, when listing a sub-type, at least one field must be listed.
Finally, for anyone implementing a handler - everything must return an array of objects - this may change in the future, but I'm still working on this.
I hope you like what I've done, and find it way easier to implement server-side than graphQL. Any questions, comments or critiques are welcome, particularly through the github issues page.
P.S. Yes, I know the name is taken, I'll be replacing it eventually.
