Introduction
Async-graphql is a GraphQL server-side library implemented in Rust. It is fully compatible with the GraphQL specification and most of its extensions, and offers type safety and high performance.
You can define a Schema in Rust and procedural macros will automatically generate code for a GraphQL query. This library does not extend Rust's syntax, which means that Rustfmt can be used normally. I value this highly and it is one of the reasons why I developed Async-graphql.
Why do this?
I like GraphQL and Rust. I've been using Juniper, which solves the problem of implementing a GraphQL server with Rust. But Juniper had several problems, the most important of which is that it didn't support async/await at the time. So I decided to make this library for myself.
Progress
As I write this document today (April 15, 2020), a month and a half after I started Async-graphql development, it has surpassed my goal of becoming a fully functional graphql server library.
