Internal GraphQL Server

This extension installs an internal GraphQL Server, that can be invoked within your application, using PHP code.

The internal GraphQL server provides class GraphQLServer with three methods:

• executeQuery: Execute a GraphQL query
• executeQueryInFile: Execute a GraphQL query contained in a (.gql) file
• executePersistedQuery: Execute a persisted GraphQL query (providing its ID as an int, or slug as a string)

For instance, we can hook into an action hook, and call GraphQLServer::executeQuery passing the hook values to the query:

add_action(
  'new_to_publish',
  function (WP_Post $post) {
    if ($post->post_type !== 'post') {
      return;
    }
    $query = ' { ... } ';
    $variables = [
      'postTitle' => $post->post_title,
      'postContent' => $post->post_content,
    ]
    GraphQLServer::executeQuery($query, $variables);
  }
