- [API Documentation](https://www.rubydoc.info/github/rmosolgo/graphql-ruby)
- [Newsletter](https://buttondown.email/graphql-ruby)

## Installation

Install from RubyGems by adding it to your `Gemfile`, then bundling.

```ruby
# Gemfile
gem 'graphql'
```

```
$ bundle install
```

## Getting Started

```
$ rails generate graphql:install
```

After this, you may need to run `bundle install` again, as by default graphiql-rails is added on installation.

Or, see ["Getting Started"](https://graphql-ruby.org/development/getting_started.html).

## Upgrade

I also sell [GraphQL::Pro](https://graphql.pro) which provides several features on top of the GraphQL runtime, including:

- [Persisted queries](https://graphql-ruby.org/operation_store/overview)
- [API versioning](https://graphql-ruby.org/changesets/overview)
- [Streaming payloads](https://graphql-ruby.org/defer/overview)
- [Server-side caching](https://graphql-ruby.org/object_cache/overview)
- [Rate limiters](https://graphql-ruby.org/limiters/overview)
- Subscriptions backends for [Pusher](https://graphql-ruby.org/subscriptions/pusher_implementation) and [Ably](https://graphql-ruby.org/subscriptions/ably_implementation)
- Authorization plugins for [Pundit](https://graphql-ruby.org/authorization/pundit_integration) and  [CanCan](https://graphql-ruby.org/authorization/can_can_integration)

Besides that, Pro customers get email support and an opportunity to support graphql-ruby's development!

## Goals

- Implement the GraphQL spec & support a Relay front end
- Provide idiomatic, plain-Ruby API with similarities to reference implementation where possible
- Support Ruby on Rails and Relay
