# GraphQL & gRPC Skill

Design schemas, resolvers, and service definitions for GraphQL and gRPC APIs.

---

## GraphQL Schema Design

```graphql # Scalars scalar DateTime scalar UUID scalar JSON

# Enums enum OrderStatus { PENDING PAID SHIPPED DELIVERED CANCELLED } enum UserRole { ADMIN EDITOR VIEWER }

# Types type User { id: UUID! name: String! email: String! role: UserRole! orders(first: Int, after: String): OrderConnection! createdAt: DateTime! }

type Order { id: UUID! status: OrderStatus! total: Float! items: [OrderItem!]! user: User! createdAt: DateTime! }

type OrderItem { id: UUID! product: Product! quantity: Int! price: Float! }

# Pagination (Relay cursor spec) type OrderConnection { edges: [OrderEdge!]! pageInfo: PageInfo! totalCount: Int! } type OrderEdge { node: Order!; cursor: String! } type PageInfo { hasNextPage: Boolean! hasPreviousPage: Boolean! startCursor: String endCursor: String }

# Queries type Query { me: User user(id: UUID!): User users(first: Int, after: String, role: UserRole): UserConnection! order(id: UUID!): Order orders(status: OrderStatus, first: Int, after: String): OrderConnection! }

# Mutations type Mutation { createUser(input: CreateUserInput!): CreateUserPayload! updateUser(id: UUID!, input: UpdateUserInput!): UpdateUserPayload! deleteUser(id: UUID!): DeletePayload! createOrder(input: CreateOrderInput!): CreateOrderPayload! cancelOrder(id: UUID!): CancelOrderPayload! }

# Subscriptions type Subscription { orderStatusChanged(orderId: UUID!): Order! newOrder: Order! }

# Inputs & Payloads input CreateUserInput { name: String!; email: String!; role: UserRole } type CreateUserPayload { user: User; errors: [UserError!] } type UserError { field: String; message: String! } ```

## Resolver Pattern (DataLoader — solves N+1)

```javascript // Without DataLoader: N+1 queries // With DataLoader: batch all user IDs into one SQL IN(...)

const userLoader = new DataLoader(async (userIds) => { const users = await db.query(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ANY($1)`, [userIds]); // Return in same order as input IDs return userIds.map(id => users.find(u => u.id === id) || null); });

const resolvers = { Order: { user: (order, _, { loaders }) => loaders.user.load(order.userId), }, Query: { orders: async (_, { status, first = 20, after }) => { return paginatedQuery('orders', { status, first, after }); } } }; ```

---

## Error Handling in GraphQL

```json { "data": { "createUser": null }, "errors": [ { "message": "Email already in use", "locations": [{ "line": 2, "column": 3 }], "path": ["createUser"], "extensions": { "code": "USER_EMAIL_TAKEN", "field": "email" } } ] } ```

---

## gRPC Proto Definition

```protobuf syntax = "proto3"; package users.v1; option go_package = "github.com/example/api/users/v1";

import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto"; import "google/protobuf/empty.proto";

service UsersService { // Unary RPCs rpc GetUser(GetUserRequest) returns (User); rpc CreateUser(CreateUserRequest) returns (User); rpc UpdateUser(UpdateUserRequest) returns (User); rpc DeleteUser(DeleteUserRequest) returns (google.protobuf.Empty); rpc ListUsers(ListUsersRequest) returns (ListUsersResponse);

// Server streaming rpc WatchUser(GetUserRequest) returns (stream User);

// Bidirectional streaming rpc SyncUsers(stream SyncRequest) returns (stream SyncResponse); }

message User { string id = 1; string name = 2; string email = 3; string role = 4; google.protobuf.Timestamp created_at = 5; }

message GetUserRequest { string id = 1; } message CreateUserRequest { string name = 1; string email = 2; string role = 3; } message UpdateUserRequest { string id = 1; string name = 2; string email = 3; } message DeleteUserRequest { string id = 1; } message ListUsersRequest { int32 page = 1; int32 limit = 2; string role = 3; } message ListUsersResponse { repeated User users = 1; int32 total = 2; } ```

## REST vs GraphQL vs gRPC Decision Matrix

## After Completing the API Design

Once the graphql/grpc design output is delivered, ask the user:

"Would you like me to generate API documentation for this design? (yes/no)"

If the user says **yes**: - Check if the API Documentation skill is available in the installed skills list - If the skill **is available**: - Read and follow the instructions in the API Documentation skill - Use the API design output above as the input - If the skill **is NOT available**: - Inform the user: "It looks like the API Documentation skill isn't installed. You can install it and re-run.

If the user says **no**: - End the task here
