Description

Birdseye is an interactive tool that dynamically displays GraphQL schemas. It helps teams visualize and understand the nodes and connections within their schema. Birdseye was built using jointJS and makes for a lightweight addition to any React project.

Features

1. Graphical view of any GraphQL schema
2. Ability to click on a field or type to view its connections
3. Dynamic zooming to focus on small portions of the schema at a time
4. Add to any React project
5. Customizable styling and themeing

Background

Birdseye was inspired by GraphQL Voyager and the Apis-guru team. We found that Voyager would add 1.2 MB to our projects, which was too big for us. This motivated us to create Birdseye, which has a bundle size of less than 200 KB. Birdseye is open source and free to use and explore.

Installation

Install using NPM or yarn

NPM

npm install --save graphql-birdseye

Yarn

yarn add graphql-birdseye

Usage

Here’s an example of how to use Birdseye in a React project. See the API Reference for how to pass your schema to the component.

import * as React from 'react';

import GraphqlBirdseye from 'graphql-birdseye';

class Example extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <GraphqlBirdseye
        introspectionQuery={dummySchema.data}
        style={{ height: "100vh" }}
      />
    );
  }
}

You can also download and test the code for our demo site in the example folder in the repository.

Roadmap

We have plans to keep improving Birdseye. Here's what is next:

1. Improve performance for larger schemas
2. Option to toggle zoom navigation style
3. Smoother UI transitions and interactions
