SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

GraphQL schema changes can unintentionally break clients; this Guard prevents that by enforcing consistency and safe change practices across the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects breaking changes in GraphQL schemas and type definitions
  • Enforces a checklist for safe changes and deprecation patterns
  • Verifies changes before deployment and supports multi-tenant schema considerations

Quick Start

Run schema-guard on your GraphQL changes to verify compatibility before deployment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent breaking changes in my GraphQL schema?

You can prevent breaking changes in your GraphQL schema by applying a verification workflow that checks .graphql files, type definitions, and resolver implementations. This enforces a safe-change checklist to ensure schema consistency across multi-tenant environments.

What is considered a breaking change in GraphQL type definitions?

Breaking changes in GraphQL type definitions include removing fields, altering return types, or modifying resolver implementations in ways that disrupt existing client queries. A checklist-based guard detects these issues by reviewing type definitions and enforcing deprecation patterns.

How do I verify GraphQL schema compatibility before deployment?

You verify GraphQL schema compatibility before deployment by running a schema guard on your modified .graphql files and resolvers. This process applies a verification workflow to detect breaking changes and enforces a safe-change consistency checklist prior to release.

Can I use a schema guard for multi-tenant GraphQL environments?

Yes, you can use a schema guard for multi-tenant GraphQL environments. The guard explicitly supports multi-tenant schema considerations by verifying type definitions and resolver implementations to ensure consistency and compatibility across all tenants before deployment.

What is the best way to handle GraphQL schema deprecation patterns?

The best way to handle GraphQL schema deprecation patterns is to enforce a safe-change checklist during your verification workflow. This validates type definitions and resolver implementations to ensure deprecated fields are managed without introducing breaking changes to clients.

Why does my GraphQL resolver update break client queries?

Your GraphQL resolver update breaks client queries because it introduced a breaking change to the underlying type definitions. Applying a verification workflow detects these breaking changes by validating resolver implementations against a safe-change consistency checklist before deployment.
