Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Universal Schema Model — GraphQL API layer: turns a usm-core SearchSchema into Hasura-style typeDefs + resolvers (queries, aggregates, live-query subscriptions)

Readme

usm-api-graphql

Universal Schema Model — the GraphQL API layer for usm-core.

Turns a SearchSchema into a Hasura-style GraphQL interface:

  • object types reflected from each collection,
  • *_bool_exp / *_order_by / *_aggregate inputs and *_comparison_exp scalar comparison inputs,
  • read queries: <table>, <type>_by_pk, <table>_aggregate,
  • one live-query subscription per collection (driven by a usm-core SubscriptionManager).

It depends only on usm-core; it emits SDL strings + resolver maps and does not import graphql itself (except the bundled custom scalars). graphql is a peer dependency so your app supplies a single copy.

Install

npm install usm-api-graphql graphql @graphql-tools/schema

graphql is a peer dependency; @graphql-tools/schema is an optional peer used only by the buildExecutableSchema helper.

Usage

import { buildExecutableSchema } from "usm-api-graphql";
import { SubscriptionManager } from "usm-core";

// model.searchSchema comes from usm-adapter-postgres' knexSearchSchema(model)
const subscriptionManager = new SubscriptionManager(model.searchSchema, changeSource, {
    defaultPollInterval: 2000
});

const schema = await buildExecutableSchema(model.searchSchema, { subscriptionManager });
// -> GraphQLSchema with queries + aggregates + subscriptions, ready to serve

For finer control, use the builder directly:

import { SearchSchemaGraphQLBuilder, GraphQLISO8601TimestampType, GraphQLJSONType } from "usm-api-graphql";
import { makeExecutableSchema } from "@graphql-tools/schema";

const { typeDefs, resolvers } = new SearchSchemaGraphQLBuilder(model.searchSchema, {
    subscriptions: true,
    subscriptionManager,
    scalars: { ISO8601Timestamp: GraphQLISO8601TimestampType, JSON: GraphQLJSONType }
}).build();

const schema = makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs, resolvers });

Query shape

query {
  authors(where: { name: { _ilike: "%a%" } }, order_by: [{ name: asc }], limit: 10) {
    id
    name
    books { id title }
  }
  authors_aggregate(where: { name: { _ilike: "%a%" } }) {
    aggregate { count }
  }
}

subscription {
  authors(where: { name: { _ilike: "%a%" } }, poll_interval: 5000) { id name }
}

Local development note

The inter-package dependency on usm-core is declared as file:../usm-core for in-repo development. When publishing, replace it with a version range (e.g. "usm-core": "^0.1.0"), or use a workspace / npm install --install-links.
