<a class="header" href="#schemas" id="schemas"><h1>Schemas</h1></a>
<p>Juniper follows a <a href="https://blog.logrocket.com/code-first-vs-schema-first-development-graphql/">code-first approach</a> to defining GraphQL schemas. If you would like to use a <a href="https://blog.logrocket.com/code-first-vs-schema-first-development-graphql/">schema-first approach</a> instead, consider <a href="https://github.com/davidpdrsn/juniper-from-schema">juniper-from-schema</a> for generating code from a schema file.</p>
<p>A schema consists of three types: a query object, a mutation object, and a subscription object.
These three define the root query fields, mutations and subscriptions of the schema, respectively.</p>
<p>The usage of subscriptions is a little different from the mutation and query objects, so there is a specific <a href="../advanced/subscriptions.html">section</a> that discusses them.</p>
<p>Both query and mutation objects are regular GraphQL objects, defined like any
other object in Juniper. The mutation and subscription object, however, is optional since schemas
can be read-only and without subscriptions as well. If mutations/subscriptions functionality is not needed, consider using <a href="https://docs.rs/juniper/0.14.2/juniper/struct.EmptyMutation.html">EmptyMutation</a>/[EmptySubscription][EmptySubscription].</p>
<p>In Juniper, the <code>RootNode</code> type represents a schema. You usually don't have to
create this object yourself: see the framework integrations for <a href="../servers/iron.html">Iron</a>
and <a href="../servers/rocket.html">Rocket</a> how schemas are created together with the handlers
themselves.</p>
<p>When the schema is first created, Juniper will traverse the entire object graph
and register all types it can find. This means that if you define a GraphQL
object somewhere but never references it, it will not be exposed in a schema.</p>
<a class="header" href="#the-query-root" id="the-query-root"><h2>The query root</h2></a>
<p>The query root is just a GraphQL object. You define it like any other GraphQL
object in Juniper, most commonly using the <code>object</code> proc macro:</p>
<pre><pre class="playpen"><code class="language-rust"># use juniper::FieldResult;
# #[derive(juniper::GraphQLObject)] struct User { name: String }
struct Root;
#[juniper::graphql_object]
impl Root {
fn userWithUsername(username: String) -&gt; FieldResult&lt;Option&lt;User&gt;&gt; {
// Look up user in database...
# unimplemented!()
}
}
# fn main() { }
</code></pre></pre>
<a class="header" href="#mutations" id="mutations"><h2>Mutations</h2></a>
<p>Mutations are <em>also</em> just GraphQL objects. Each mutation is a single field that
usually performs some mutating side-effect, such as updating a database.</p>
<pre><pre class="playpen"><code class="language-rust"># use juniper::FieldResult;
# #[derive(juniper::GraphQLObject)] struct User { name: String }
struct Mutations;
#[juniper::graphql_object]
impl Mutations {
fn signUpUser(name: String, email: String) -&gt; FieldResult&lt;User&gt; {
// Validate inputs and save user in database...
# unimplemented!()
}
}
# fn main() { }
</code></pre></pre>
<a class="header" href="#converting-a-rust-schema-to-the-a-hrefhttpsgraphqlorglearnschematype-languagegraphql-schema-languagea" id="converting-a-rust-schema-to-the-a-hrefhttpsgraphqlorglearnschematype-languagegraphql-schema-languagea"><h1>Converting a Rust schema to the <a href="https://graphql.org/learn/schema/#type-language">GraphQL Schema Language</a></h1></a>
<p>Many tools in the GraphQL ecosystem require the schema to be defined in the <a href="https://graphql.org/learn/schema/#type-language">GraphQL Schema Language</a>. You can generate a <a href="https://graphql.org/learn/schema/#type-language">GraphQL Schema Language</a> representation of your schema defined in Rust using the <code>schema-language</code> feature (on by default):</p>
<pre><pre class="playpen"><code class="language-rust"># // Only needed due to 2018 edition because the macro is not accessible.
# #[macro_use] extern crate juniper;
use juniper::{FieldResult, EmptyMutation, EmptySubscription, RootNode};
struct Query;
#[juniper::graphql_object]
impl Query {
fn hello(&amp;self) -&gt; FieldResult&lt;&amp;str&gt; {
Ok(&quot;hello world&quot;)
}
}
fn main() {
// Define our schema in Rust.
let schema = RootNode::new(
Query,
EmptyMutation::&lt;()&gt;::new(),
EmptySubscription::&lt;()&gt;::new(),
);
// Convert the Rust schema into the GraphQL Schema Language.
let result = schema.as_schema_language();
let expected = &quot;\
type Query {
hello: String!
}
schema {
query: Query
}
&quot;;
assert_eq!(result, expected);
}
</code></pre></pre>
<p>Note the <code>schema-language</code> feature may be turned off if you do not need this functionality to reduce dependencies and speed up
compile times.</p>
