FUNQL is Simply a new way to create web servers

What is FUNQL ?

funql is just a Native Graphql

• If you hate gql and prefer to handle backend tasks with standard and robust methods.
• If you experience difficulties in using graphql in your projects due to its inherent complexities namely, time-consuming typesafety.
• Despite the simplicity of REST APIs, you are likely to get caught in the process of life-cycles and middlewares, etc.
• If you hate the secrets under the hood of libraries or frameworks.
• If you love MongoDB and want to use its potential capabilities.
               funql Is For You

Funql Basics

funql is just a sets of rules:

1. You must send standard JSON’s HTTP POST request to http://localhost:${PORT}/funql
2. Your request should have wants object in it. wants object should have 2 properties : model and doit. model is one of your MongoDB schemas and doit is one of your methods you write for that schema.
3. Your request should have details object in it, details object should have 2 properties: set and get.

• set is a group of proprieties you try to send in a request like properties you need for creating a schema or properties you need to sort or filter on getting documents from schema.
• get is an object to specify which fields client wants to retrieve.

1. The structure of folders is quite important in a funql project
          Folder structure example in deno server:

• project a blog example
  • config should have
    • utils maybe
      • someUtils.ts maybe
      • index.ts should have
    • db.ts maybe
    • redis.ts maybe
    • index.ts should have
  • src should have
    • utils maybe
      • populateMany.ts maybe
      • throwErr.ts maybe
      • index.ts should have
    • functions should have
      • user should have if we have an user schema
        • funcs should have if we have common fns
          • getUsers.ts maybe
          • … maybe
          • index.ts should have
        • adding.ts maybe
        • login.ts maybe
        • singing.ts maybe
        • getting.ts maybe
        • … maybe
        • index.ts should have
      • … other models fns
      • index.ts should have
    • schemas should have
      • utils maybe
        • someUtils.ts maybe
        • someOtherUtils.ts maybe
        • index.ts should have
      • user.ts maybe
      • post.ts maybe
      • category.ts maybe
      • … maybe
      • index.ts should have
    • index.ts should have
  • index.ts should have
  • script.json should have if use denon

Basic rules

schemas

every schema should have 4 seprate things :

1. an inteface to describe and hint

functions

Features

• It uses the best capabilities of graphql idea.
• It uses the best design elements of REST API’s.
• It removes all unnecessary extra code, validation, repetitive procedures.
• funql fully implements functional programming characteristics. Everything is comprised of small functions
• funql is fundamentally based on fs(function schema) architecture.

How to Install

• Firstly, deno must be installed.
• After that just run this line:

deno install -qAf --allow-read --allow-write  --unstable https://deno.land/x/funql@0.0.7/funql.ts

How to Use It

To start using funql, just enter this command

    funql --init [blog]

• blog is name of the project and for sake of simplicity, we create the blog project by funql because funql is just a concept with set of rules
• blog project uses mongoDB and redis. So install them, we recommend using denon for running project so after install denon just run :

denon start

on the root of project directory. After downloading dependencies, http://localhost:8000/ will be displayed on the console. Now send this http request to retrieve data:

POST http://localhost:8000/funql HTTP/1.1
content-type: application/json

{
    "wants": {
        "model": "Country",
        "doit": "adding"
    },
    "details": {
        "set": {
            "name": "iran",
            "enName": "iran"
        },
        "get": {
            "_id": 0,
            "name": 0,
            "cities": {
                "_id": 1,
                "name": 1
            }
        }
    }
}
