Morpheus GraphQL Hackage CircleCI

Build GraphQL APIs with your favourite functional language!

Morpheus GraphQL (Server & Client) helps you to build GraphQL APIs in Haskell with native haskell types. Morpheus will convert your haskell types to a GraphQL schema and all your resolvers are just native Haskell functions. Mopheus GraphQL can also convert your GraphQL Schema or Query to Haskell types and validate them in compile time.

Morpheus is still in an early stage of development, so any feedback is more than welcome, and we appreciate any contribution! Just open an issue here on GitHub, or join our Slack channel to get in touch.

Getting Started

Setup

To get started with Morpheus, you first need to add it to your project's dependencies, as follows (assuming you're using hpack):

package.yml

dependencies:
  - morpheus-graphql

Additionally, you should tell stack which version to pick:

stack.yml

resolver: lts-14.8

extra-deps:
  - morpheus-graphql-0.7.1

As Morpheus is quite new, make sure stack can find morpheus-graphql by running stack upgrade and stack update

Building your first GraphQL API

with GraphQL syntax

schema.gql

  deity(name: String!): Deity!
}

  power: String String! @deprecated(reason: "some reason for")
}

Template Haskell Generates types: Query , Deity, DeityArgs, that can be used by rootResolver

descriptions and deprecations will be displayed in intropsection.

importGQLDocumentWithNamespace will generate Types with namespaced fields. if you don't need napespacing use importGQLDocument

with Native Haskell Types

To define a GraphQL API with Morpheus we start by defining the API Schema as a native Haskell data type, which derives the Generic typeclass. Lazily resolvable fields on this Query type are defined via a -> IORes b, representing resolving a set of arguments a to a concrete value b.

data Query m = Query
  { deity :: DeityArgs -> m Deity
  } deriving (Generic, GQLType)

data Deity = Deity
  { fullName :: Text         -- Non-Nullable Field
  , power    :: Maybe Text   -- Nullable Field
  } deriving (Generic)

instance GQLType Deity where
  type  KIND Deity = OBJECT

data DeityArgs = DeityArgs
  { name      :: Text        -- Required Argument
  , mythology :: Maybe Text  -- Optional Argument
  } deriving (Generic)

For each field in the Query type defined via a -> m b (like deity) we will define a resolver implementation that provides the values during runtime by referring to some data source, e.g. a database or another API. Fields that are defined without a -> m b you can just provide a value.

In above example, the field of DeityArgs could also be named using reserved identities (such as: type, where, etc), in order to avoid conflict, a prime symbol (') must be attached. For example, you can have:

data DeityArgs = DeityArgs
  { name      :: Text        -- Required Argument
  , mythology :: Maybe Text  -- Optional Argument
  , type'     :: Text
  } deriving (Generic)

The field name in the final request will be type instead of type'. The Morpheus request parser converts each of the reserved identities in Haskell 2010 to their corresponding names internally. This also applies to selections.

resolveDeity :: DeityArgs -> IORes e Deity
resolveDeity DeityArgs { name, mythology } = liftEither $ dbDeity name mythology

askDB :: Text -> Maybe Text -> IO (Either String Deity)
askDB = ...

Note that the type a -> IORes b is just Synonym for a -> ExceptT String IO b

To make this Query type available as an API, we define a GQLRootResolver and feed it to the Morpheus interpreter. A GQLRootResolver consists of query, mutation and subscription definitions, while we omit the latter for this example:

rootResolver :: GQLRootResolver IO () Query Undefined Undefined
rootResolver =
  GQLRootResolver
    { queryResolver = Query {deity = resolveDeity}
    , mutationResolver = Undefined
    , subscriptionResolver = Undefined
    }

gqlApi :: ByteString -> IO ByteString
gqlApi = interpreter rootResolver

As you can see, the API is defined as ByteString -> IO ByteString which we can either invoke directly or use inside an arbitrary web framework such as scotty or serverless-haskell. We'll go for scotty in this example:

main :: IO ()
main = scotty 3000 $ post "/api" $ raw =<< (liftIO . gqlApi =<< body)

If we now send a POST request to http://localhost:3000/api with a GraphQL Query as body for example in a tool like Insomnia:

query GetDeity {
  deity (name: "Morpheus") {
    fullName
    power
  }
}

our query will be resolved!

{
  "data": {
    "deity": {
      "fullName": "Morpheus",
      "power": "Shapeshifting"
    }
  }
}

Serverless Example

If you are interested in creating a Morpheus GraphQL API with Serverless, you should take a look at our example in this repository: Mythology API it is our example project build with Morpheus GraphQL and Serverless-Haskell, where you can query different mythology characters with GraphiQL.

Mythology API is deployed on : api.morpheusgraphql.com where you can test it with GraphiQL

Advanced topics

Enums

You can use Union Types as Enums, but they're not allowed to have any parameters.

data City
  = Athens
  | Sparta
  | Corinth
  | Delphi
  | Argos
  deriving (Generic)

instance GQLType City where
  type KIND City = ENUM

Union types

To use union type, all you have to do is derive the GQLType class. Using GraphQL fragments, the arguments of each data constructor can be accessed from the GraphQL client.

data Character
  = DEITY Deity
  | HUMAN Human
  deriving (Generic)

instance GQLType Character where
  type KIND Character = UNION

Scalar types

To use custom scalar types, you need to provide implementations for parseValue and serialize respectively.

data Odd = Odd Int  deriving (Generic)

instance GQLScalar Odd where
  parseValue (Int x) = pure $ Odd (...  )
  parseValue (String x) = pure $ Odd (...  )
  serialize  (Odd value) = Int value

instance GQLType Odd where
  type KIND Odd = SCALAR

Applicative and Monad instance

The Resolver type has Applicative and Monad instances that can be used to compose resolvers.

Introspection

Morpheus converts your schema to a GraphQL introspection automatically. You can use tools like Insomnia to take a look at the introspection and validate your schema. If you need a description for your GQLType inside of the introspection you can define the GQLType instance manually and provide an implementation for the description function:

data Deity = Deity
{ ...
} deriving (Generic)

instance GQLType Deity where
  description = const "A supernatural being considered divine and sacred"

Mutations

In addition to queries, Morpheus also supports mutations. The behave just like regular queries and are defined similarly:

newtype Mutation m = Mutation
  { createDeity :: MutArgs -> m Deity
  } deriving (Generic, GQLType)

rootResolver :: GQLRootResolver IO  () Query Mutation Undefined
rootResolver =
  GQLRootResolver
    { queryResolver = Query {...}
    , mutationResolver = Mutation { createDeity }
    , subscriptionResolver = Undefined
    }
    where
      -- Mutation Without Event Triggering
      createDeity :: MutArgs -> ResolveM () IO Deity
      createDeity_args = lift setDBAddress

gqlApi :: ByteString -> IO ByteString
gqlApi = interpreter rootResolver

Subscriptions

im morpheus subscription and mutation communicating with Events, Event consists with user defined Channel and Content.

every subscription has own Channel by which will be triggered

data Channel
  = ChannelA
  | ChannelB

data Content
  = ContentA Int
  | ContentB Text

type MyEvent = Event Channel Content

newtype Query m = Query
  { deity :: () -> m Deity
  } deriving (Generic)

newtype Mutation m = Mutation
  { createDeity :: () -> m Deity
  } deriving (Generic)

newtype Subscription (m ::  * -> * ) = Subscription
  { newDeity :: () -> m  Deity
  } deriving (Generic)

type APIEvent = Event Channel Content

rootResolver :: GQLRootResolver IO APIEvent Query Mutation Subscription
rootResolver = GQLRootResolver
  { queryResolver        = Query { deity }
  , mutationResolver     = Mutation { createDeity }
  , subscriptionResolver = Subscription { newDeity }
  }
 where
  deity _args = fetchDeity
  -- Mutation Without Event Triggering
  createDeity :: () -> ResolveM EVENT IO Address
  createDeity _args = MutResolver \$ do
      value <- lift dbCreateDeity
      pure (
        [Event { channels = [ChannelA], content = ContentA 1 }],
        value
      )
  newDeity _args = SubResolver [ChannelA] subResolver
   where
    subResolver (Event [ChannelA] (ContentA _value)) = fetchDeity  -- resolve New State
    subResolver (Event [ChannelA] (ContentB _value)) = fetchDeity   -- resolve New State
    subResolver _ = fetchDeity -- Resolve Old State

Morpheus GraphQL Client with Template haskell QuasiQuotes

defineByDocumentFile
    "./schema.gql"
  [gql|
    query GetHero ($character: Character)
      {
        deity (fatherOf:$character) {
          name
          power
          worships {
            deity2Name: name
          }
        }
      }
  |]

with schema:

input Character {
  name: String!
}

type Deity {
  name: String!
  worships: Deity
}

will validate query and Generate:

  • namespaced response and variable types
  • instance for Fetch typeClass
data GetHero = GetHero {
  deity: DeityDeity
}

-- from: {user
data DeityDeity = DeityDeity {
  name: Text,
  worships: Maybe DeityWorshipsDeity
}

-- from: {deity{worships
data DeityWorshipsDeity = DeityWorshipsDeity {
  name: Text,
}

data GetHeroArgs = GetHeroArgs {
  getHeroArgsCharacter: Character
}

data Character = Character {
  characterName: Person
}

as you see, response type field name collision can be handled with GraphQL alias.

with fetch you can fetch well typed response GetHero.

  fetchHero :: Args GetHero -> m (Either String GetHero)
  fetchHero = fetch jsonRes args
      where
        args = GetHeroArgs {getHeroArgsCharacter = Person {characterName = "Zeus"}}
        jsonRes :: ByteString -> m ByteString
        jsonRes = <GraphQL APi>

in this case, jsonRes is resolves a request into a response in some monad m.

A fetch resolver implementation against a real API may look like the following:

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Data.ByteString.Lazy (ByteString)
import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as C8
import Network.HTTP.Req

resolver :: String -> ByteString -> IO ByteString
resolver tok b = runReq defaultHttpConfig $ do
    let headers = header "Content-Type" "application/json"
    responseBody <$> req POST (https "swapi.graph.cool") (ReqBodyLbs b) lbsResponse headers

this is demonstrated in examples/src/Client/StarWarsClient.hs

types can be generated from introspection too:

defineByIntrospectionFile "./introspection.json"

Morpheus CLI for Code Generating

you should use morpheus-graphql-cli

About

The name

Morpheus is the greek god of sleep and dreams whose name comes from the greek word μορφή meaning form or shape. He is said to be able to mimic different forms and GraphQL is good at doing exactly that: Transforming data in the shape of many different APIs.
