PostgreSQL (Coming soon)

This handler allows you to use the GraphQL schema created by PostGraphile, based on a PostgreSQL database schema.

To get started, install the handler library:

npm i @omnigraph/postgresql

Now, you can use it directly in your Mesh config file:

mesh.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@graphql-mesh/compose-cli' import { loadPostgreSQLSubgraph } from '@omnigraph/postgresql' export const composeConfig = defineConfig({ subgraphs: [ { sourceHandler: loadPostgreSQLSubgraph('MyPostgreSQL', { connectionString: 'postgres://postgres:password@localhost/postgres' // You can also use environment variables like below // connectionString: `postgres://${process.env.POSTGRES_USER}:${process.env.POSTGRES_PASSWORD}@localhost/postgres` }) } ] })

Federation and Automatic Type Merging support

The Federation plugin converts your Postgraphile schema into a federated schema that can also be recognized by Mesh, which brings Automatic Type Merging. It automatically uses @graphile/federation package, so you don’t need to configure it manually.

Many-to-Many support

Suppose you want to have automatic many-to-many mapping across your entities. You can install @graphile-contrib/pg-many-to-many and add it under appendPlugins.

npm i @graphile-contrib/pg-many-to-many

PostGIS Support

If you use PostGIS in your PostgreSQL database, you need to install @graphile/postgis package and add it under appendPlugins.

npm i @graphile/postgis
