GraphQL to Venia Clojure syntax query generation https://reverse-venia.herokuapp.com

Overview

Writing GraphQL queries using GraphiQL is nice. Auto suggestion works well, code is nicely highlighted and can be reformatted with a single click of a button.

However, while write GraphQL in pure Clojure we don't have such a luxury. We can use Venia library to write queries using Clojure data structures but this won't be good for prototyping. GraphiQL with its features will be much faster.

Therefore you open your browser with GraphiQL connected to the latest GraphQL schema and start typing. After you are done with your complicated nested query or mutation you can end up with something like this.

mutation {
  property_create(external_id: "test-property", name: "test-property", email: "jesse@emaıl.com", options: {deposit: {business_name: "6 Nottingham", external_account: {object: "bank_account", country: "US", currency: "usd", account_number: "000123456789", routing_number: "110000000", account_holder_type: "individual", account_holder_name: "Holder of Account"}, payout_schedule: {interval: "daily"}, tos_acceptance: {date: 1558351184, ip: "45.33.63.187"}}, ops: {business_name: "6 Nottingham", external_account: {object: "bank_account", country: "US", currency: "usd", account_number: "000123456789", routing_number: "110000000", account_holder_type: "individual", account_holder_name: "Holder of Account"}, payout_schedule: {interval: "daily"}, tos_acceptance: {date: 1558351184, ip: "45.33.63.187"}}}) {
    id
    payment {
      is_active
      is_canceled
      billing_start
      canceled_on
      fee_percent
      payment_type
      customer {
        id
        name
        plan {
          id
          amount
          date
          source {
            id
            type
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Ok, what now?

You are lazy and you don't want to just blindly rewrite it into Venia Clojure syntax. You can image the final result. Lots of typos, wrongly nested vectors and maps. It will be just too much work.

Do you really thing you can produce this code easily and without any errors?
