#2Nice work! This would be great if it could be pluggable for relational schemas. The interactivity is nice for explaining the schema with domain experts.

#3This is really excellent! I've been hoping for a while now that someone would build something like this :-)
A direction that'd be interesting to explore is a guided query writer. Perhaps have a floating query input box and if you click on a type, it adds a query. Then you could edit the query and as you add/remove fields & connections, it highlights the equivalent areas of the visualization.

It was our initial goal but we decided to proceed with smaller steps and that's why we've released this MVP.

#5In the README it says mit license but I can't see a LICENSE.txt file, does that matter? It's a really cool project that makes me want to try GraphQL btw.

does that matter?
It depends on how likely you are to be sued for using this.
On the one hand, it's clear that the intent is to MIT license the software.
On the other hand, the MIT license requires specifying the year of the copyright along with the copyright holder (in addition to the actual text itself). As of right now, it's not clear who the copyright holder even is.
IANAL, but I would suggest that if you are at the point where you wish to modify and distribute the code, you could politely ask the copyright license holder to add a proper license block.

#7This is really nicely done. Our customers have been asking us to provide a better visual representation of their schemas directly in the https://graph.cool schema editor.
Are you accepting pull requests?

#8Great project. I'm still deciding how much like gql itself.
Trying scaffold.io and found the simplest code to get the first customer is
const myQuery = gql`
{
viewer {
allCustomers(first: 1) {
edges { node { firstName } }
}
}client.query({ query: myQuery })
.then((graphQLResult) => {
console.log('success: ', graphQLResult.data.viewer.allCustomers.edges[0].node.firstName)
})
All this verbosity has a reason (for example to support paging), but the elegance hasn't hit me yet.

Good catch! Just added the LICENSE file.

#10Glad to see our public transport schema as one of the demo options. However, it's not just Helsinki Region or Finland anymore: you can set up your own endpoints by loading OpenStreetMap and GTFS data into OpenTripPlanner. More info: https://digitransit.fi/en/developers
