Graphql Java Annotations framework advanced techniques and advanced applications
Graphql Java Annotations is a Java library used to build Graphql API. It provides many convenient annotations that can simplify the development of developers when constructing GraphQL mode and parsers.Here are some advanced techniques and advanced applications of Graphql Java Annotations framework.
1. Custom SCALAR TYPES: Graphql Java Annotations provides several types of scarr types, such as String, INT, Float, Boolean, etc., but sometimes we need custom scalar types.You can define your own scale type by implementing the `GraphqlScalatype` interface, and use the@GraphqlScalar` annotation to register it to the graphql schema.The following is an example of a customized Email scalar type:
@GraphQLScalar(name = "Email", description = "Custom email scalar type")
public class EmailScalar implements GraphQLScalarType {
@Override
public String getName() {
return "Email";
}
@Override
public String getDescription() {
return "Custom email scalar type";
}
@Override
public Object parseValue(Object input) {
if (input instanceof String) {
String email = (String) input;
// Perform parsing or verification and other operations
return email;
}
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid input");
}
// Implementation of other interface methods
}
2. Custom Directives: Directive is metadata in GraphQL. Through instructions, some specific behaviors can be defined in Schema.Graphql Java Annotations allows us to define our instructions and use it in Schema.You can use `@Graphqldirective` Note definition instructions, and the field of the annotation instructions of the annotation definition instructions.
@GraphQLDirective(name = "uppercase", description = "Converts the value to uppercase")
public class UppercaseDirective {
@GraphQLDirectiveField(name = "value", description = "The value to be converted")
public String value;
}
Example of using instructions:
graphql
type User {
name: String! @uppercase
}
3. Data loader (data loaders): In GraphQL, when a parser needs to load a lot of data, the data loader can significantly improve performance.Graphql Java Annotations support data loader mode, which can be achieved by using@GraphQLDAFETCHER `annotations and custom data loaders.The following is an example of a simple data loader:
public class UserLoader extends DataLoader<String, User> {
@Override
public CompletableFuture<List<User>> loadAll(List<String> keys) {
// Load user data according to Keys
}
}
@GraphQLDataFetcher(UserLoader.class)
public User user(String id) {
// code
}
4. Global Error Handling: Graphql Java Annotations allows us to deal with global errors by implementing the `Graphqlerrorhandler` interface.You can add the error to the Graphql response by using the `adDerror` method in the` GlobalEnvironment` object and return the result after processing.The following is an example of global error treatment:
public class CustomGraphQLErrorHandler implements GraphQLErrorHandler {
@Override
public boolean errorsPresent(List<GraphQLError> errors) {
return errors != null && !errors.isEmpty();
}
@Override
public ExecutionResult handleErrors(ExecutionContext context, List<GraphQLError> errors) {
for (GraphQLError error : errors) {
// Customized error processing logic
}
return new ExecutionResultImpl(null, errors);
}
}
Use global error processor in the GraphQL service configuration:
GraphQLSchema schema = new AnnotatedGraphQLSchemaGenerator()
.scanGraphQLServices(Arrays.asList(UserService.class))
.generate();
GraphQL graphQL = new GraphQL.Builder(schema)
.errorHandler(new CustomGraphQLErrorHandler())
.build();
The above are some advanced techniques and advanced applications of Graphql Java Annotation's framework.By understanding and using these techniques, you can better use Graphql Java Annotations to build a powerful Graphql API.
