graphql-cli

📟 Command line tool for common GraphQL development workflows

Features

• Helpful commands to improve your workflows like get-schema, diff & playground
• Compatible with editors and IDEs based on graphql-config
• Powerful plugin system to extend graphql-cli with custom commands

You can see it in action here:

Note: The graphql-cli has a different use case than the Graphcool CLI. Graphcool CLI is specific to the Graphcool Framework, while graphql-cli can be used with any GraphQL project.

Install

You can simply install the CLI using npm or yarn by running the following command. This will add the graphql (and shorter gql) binary to your path.

npm install -g graphql-cli
