Hive CLI (Command Line Interface)

Hive is a fully open-source schema registry, analytics, metrics and gateway for GraphQL federation and other GraphQL APIs.

A CLI util to manage and control your Hive.

Installation

NodeJS

If you are running a JavaScript/NodeJS project, you can install Hive CLI from the npm registry:

pnpm install -D @graphql-hive/cli
yarn add -D @graphql-hive/cli
npm install -D @graphql-hive/cli

We recommend installing Hive CLI as part of your project, under devDependencies, instead of using a global installation.

Binary

If you are running a non-JavaScript project, you can download the prebuilt binary of Hive CLI using the following command:

curl -sSL https://graphql-hive.com/install.sh | sh

Configuration

Environment Variables

You may set the HIVE_TOKEN environment variable while running the Hive CLI, in order to set it globally.

Config file (hive.json)

You can create a hive.json file to manage your Hive configuration.

Note that the CLI args will override the values in config if both are specified.

The configuration input priority is: CLI args > environment variables > hive.json configuration.

This is how the structure of the config file should look like:

{
  "registry": {
    "endpoint": "<yourRegistryURL>",
    "accessToken": "<yourtoken>"
  },
  "cdn": {
    "endpoint": "<yourCdnURL>",
    "accessToken": "<yourtoken>"
  }
}
