Graphweaver
Connect all your data sources and instantly generate a secure GraphQL API with an integrated admin panel.
Overview
Graphweaver is an open-source framework designed to significantly streamline the development of GraphQL APIs by acting as a secure, unified gateway for all your data sources. It allows developers to connect various data systems, including SQL databases, REST APIs, and even other GraphQL APIs, and instantly generate a comprehensive GraphQL API complete with filters, sorting, and pagination. This eliminates the need to write extensive boilerplate code for common CRUD operations.
The tool's core value proposition lies in its ability to introspect databases and automatically generate TypeScript resolvers, which developers can then extend and customize. Beyond API generation, Graphweaver provides robust security features like role-based access control, row-level security, and column-level security. It also includes a flexible, React.js-based admin panel that enables users to view, create, edit, and delete data across all connected sources, offering a powerful, customizable interface for data management.
