<h2>Getting started</h2>
<p>Welcome to graphql-haskell!</p>
<p>We have written a small tutorial to help you (and ourselves) understand the graphql package.</p>
<p>Since this file is a literate haskell file, we start by importing some dependencies.</p>

<section id="first-example" class="level3">
<h3>First example</h3>
<p>Now, as our first example, we are going to look at the example from <a href="https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js">graphql.js</a>.</p>
<p>First we build a GraphQL schema.</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode literate haskell"><code class="sourceCode haskell"><span class="ot">schema1 ::</span> <span class="dt">Alternative</span> f <span class="ot">=&gt;</span> <span class="dt">Schema</span> f
schema1 <span class="fu">=</span> hello <span class="fu">:|</span> []
<span class="ot">hello ::</span> <span class="dt">Alternative</span> f <span class="ot">=&gt;</span> <span class="dt">Resolver</span> f
hello <span class="fu">=</span> Schema.scalar <span class="st">&quot;hello&quot;</span> (<span class="st">&quot;it&#39;s me&quot;</span><span class="ot"> ::</span> <span class="dt">Text</span>)</code></pre></div>
<p>This defines a simple schema with one type and one field, that resolves to a fixed value.</p>
<p>Next we define our query.</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode literate haskell"><code class="sourceCode haskell"><span class="ot">query1 ::</span> <span class="dt">Text</span>
query1 <span class="fu">=</span> <span class="st">&quot;{ hello }&quot;</span></code></pre></div>
<p>To run the query, we call the <code>graphql</code> with the schema and the query.</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode literate haskell"><code class="sourceCode haskell"><span class="ot">main1 ::</span> <span class="dt">IO</span> ()
main1 <span class="fu">=</span> putStrLn <span class="fu">=&lt;&lt;</span> encode <span class="fu">&lt;$&gt;</span> graphql schema1 query1</code></pre></div>
<p>This runs the query by fetching the one field defined, returning</p>
<p><code>{&quot;data&quot; : {&quot;hello&quot;:&quot;it's me&quot;}}</code></p>
</section>
<section id="monadic-actions" class="level3">
<h3>Monadic actions</h3>
<p>For this example, were going to be using time.</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode literate haskell"><code class="sourceCode haskell"><span class="ot">schema2 ::</span> <span class="dt">Schema</span> <span class="dt">IO</span>
schema2 <span class="fu">=</span> time <span class="fu">:|</span> []
<span class="ot">time ::</span> <span class="dt">Resolver</span> <span class="dt">IO</span>
time <span class="fu">=</span> Schema.scalarA <span class="st">&quot;time&quot;</span> <span class="fu">$</span> \<span class="kw">case</span>
[] <span class="ot">-&gt;</span> <span class="kw">do</span> t <span class="ot">&lt;-</span> getCurrentTime
return <span class="fu">$</span> show t
_ <span class="ot">-&gt;</span> empty</code></pre></div>
<p>This defines a simple schema with one type and one field, which resolves to the current time.</p>
<p>Next we define our query.</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode literate haskell"><code class="sourceCode haskell"><span class="ot">query2 ::</span> <span class="dt">Text</span>
query2 <span class="fu">=</span> <span class="st">&quot;{ time }&quot;</span>
<span class="ot">main2 ::</span> <span class="dt">IO</span> ()
main2 <span class="fu">=</span> putStrLn <span class="fu">=&lt;&lt;</span> encode <span class="fu">&lt;$&gt;</span> graphql schema2 query2</code></pre></div>
<p>This runs the query, returning the current time</p>
<p><code>{&quot;data&quot;: {&quot;time&quot;:&quot;2016-03-08 23:28:14.546899 UTC&quot;}}</code></p>
</section>
<section id="errors" class="level3">
<h3>Errors</h3>
<p>Errors are handled according to the spec, with fields that cause erros being resolved to <code>null</code>, and an error being added to the error list.</p>
<p>An example of this is the following query:</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode literate haskell"><code class="sourceCode haskell"><span class="ot">queryShouldFail ::</span> <span class="dt">Text</span>
queryShouldFail <span class="fu">=</span> <span class="st">&quot;{ boyhowdy }&quot;</span></code></pre></div>
<p>Since there is no <code>boyhowdy</code> field in our schema, it will not resolve, and the query will fail, as we can see in the following example.</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode literate haskell"><code class="sourceCode haskell"><span class="ot">mainShouldFail ::</span> <span class="dt">IO</span> ()
mainShouldFail <span class="fu">=</span> <span class="kw">do</span>
r <span class="ot">&lt;-</span> graphql schema1 query1
putStrLn <span class="fu">$</span> encode r
putStrLn <span class="st">&quot;This will fail&quot;</span>
r <span class="ot">&lt;-</span> graphql schema1 queryShouldFail
putStrLn <span class="fu">$</span> encode r</code></pre></div>
<p>This outputs:</p>
<pre><code>{&quot;data&quot;: {&quot;hello&quot;: &quot;it&#39;s me&quot;}}
This will fail
{&quot;data&quot;: {&quot;boyhowdy&quot;: null}, &quot;errors&quot;:[{&quot;message&quot;: &quot;the field boyhowdy did not resolve.&quot;}]}</code></pre>
</section>
<section id="combining-resolvers" class="level3">
<h3>Combining resolvers</h3>
<p>Now that we have two resolvers, we can define a schema which uses them both.</p>
<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode literate haskell"><code class="sourceCode haskell"><span class="ot">schema3 ::</span> <span class="dt">Schema</span> <span class="dt">IO</span>
schema3 <span class="fu">=</span> hello <span class="fu">:|</span> [time]
<span class="ot">query3 ::</span> <span class="dt">Text</span>
query3 <span class="fu">=</span> <span class="st">&quot;query timeAndHello { time hello }&quot;</span>
<span class="ot">main3 ::</span> <span class="dt">IO</span> ()
main3 <span class="fu">=</span> putStrLn <span class="fu">=&lt;&lt;</span> encode <span class="fu">&lt;$&gt;</span> graphql schema3 query3</code></pre></div>
<p>This queries for both time and hello, returning</p>
<p><code>{ &quot;data&quot;: {&quot;hello&quot;:&quot;it's me&quot;,&quot;time&quot;:&quot;2016-03-08 23:29:11.62108 UTC&quot;}}</code></p>
<p>Notice that we can name our queries, as we did with <code>timeAndHello</code>. Since we have only been using single queries, we can use the shorthand <code>{ time hello}</code>, as we have been doing in the previous examples.</p>
<p>In GraphQL there can only be one operation per query.</p>

<h2>Further examples</h2>
<p>More examples on queries and a more complex schema can be found in the test directory, in the <a href="../../tests/Test/StarWars">Test.StarWars</a> module. This includes a more complex schema, and more complex queries.</p>
