@emilebosch is interested in building this.

Is this not the same thing? https://github.com/ziprandom/graphql-crystal

[drujensen]

Good catch @jwoertink should have checked. I will let Emile know about it.

From the graphql-crystal readme it says it's simply a graphql parser. That parser could be used to implement a library but i'm sure it's not all too useful by itself.

Its far from anything at the moment! Ill check out the amount of work that needs to be done

@emilebosch do you want to be assigned to this?

if so, @johnjansen can you add @emilebosch to the ticket?

[emilebosch]

The thing is, graphql library is no small feat. I want to take the lead on it, but i need other people that use graphql in their day jobs in order to do it properly.

[emilebosch]

But assign it to me, and ill see if i can find some peeps to do it

[johnjansen]

hey @emilebosch once you accept the collab, i can assign this to you :-)

I can try help. Having fun project which I want port to Crystal from Rails, or at least some parts and GraphQL API is one of them

Sorry for the late answer, I didn't come across this discussion. actually graphql-crystal is already much more than just a parser. I didn't find the time to update the readme but look at the specs. It already supports schema definition, queries, mutations and introspection. The only mayor protocol feature that's left is directives which I'm currently working on. directives still is a pretty abstract concept in the graphql spec itself (basically just a blanco syntax that can be used to express any behaviour or (meta-)information). graphql-crystal already supports the @include and @skip directives but I'm trying to create an api to define custom directives and hook into the execution via middlewares. any contributions are welcome!
