This is the Restify integration of GraphQL Server. GraphQL Server is a community-maintained open-source GraphQL server that works with all Node.js HTTP server frameworks: Express, Connect, Hapi, Koa and Restify. [Read the docs](http://dev.apollodata.com/tools/apollo-server/index.html).

## Principles

GraphQL Server is built with the following principles in mind:

* **By the community, for the community**: GraphQL Server's development is driven by the needs of developers
* **Simplicity**: by keeping things simple, GraphQL Server is easier to use, easier to contribute to, and more secure
* **Performance**: GraphQL Server is well-tested and production-ready - no modifications needed


Anyone is welcome to contribute to GraphQL Server, just read [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md), take a look at the [roadmap](./ROADMAP.md) and make your first PR!

## Usage

```js
import restify from 'restify';
import { graphqlRestify, graphiqlRestify } from 'apollo-server-restify';

const PORT = 3000;

const server = restify.createServer({
  title: 'GraphQL Server'
});

const graphQLOptions = { schema: myGraphQLSchema };

server.use(restify.bodyParser());
server.use(restify.queryParser());

server.post('/graphql', graphqlRestify(graphQLOptions));
server.get('/graphql', graphqlRestify(graphQLOptions));

server.get('/graphiql', graphiqlRestify({ endpointURL: '/graphql' }));

server.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Listening on ${PORT}`));
```
