About This Tool

GraphQL Formatter formats GraphQL queries to a standard, readable style using a parser-driven approach. It accepts raw queries and produces a clean, consistent output suitable for code reviews and documentation.
Conceptually, the tool parses input into an AST and prints it with configurable rules such as indentation, line length, and optional field sorting. It can preserve comments to maintain context and annotations within the query. The result is deterministic formatting that reduces variances across developers and environments. This tool benefits frontend and backend teams, API integrators, QA engineers, and CI pipelines that require consistent GraphQL styling in PRs, tests, and shared examples.
Key value lies in standardization, reduced cognitive load during reviews, and faster onboarding for new contributors who need to understand query structure quickly. Core features include GraphQL-spec-compliant formatting, 2- or 4-space indentation, optional line wrapping, optional field sorting, and optional comment preservation, plus robust error reporting for syntax issues. Use cases include formatting ad-hoc queries, preparing examples for documentation, and enforcing a team-wide style via automated workflows.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: supply the GraphQL query string and optional settings.
  2. Configure formatting: set indentation (2 or 4 spaces), max line length, sort_fields, preserve_comments.
  3. Run formatting: submit the inputs to the formatter process.
  4. Review outputs: inspect formatted_query and any diagnostic messages or errors.
  5. Iterate: adjust options if needed and re-run to achieve the desired style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What formats does it support?
It supports standard GraphQL syntax (queries, mutations, fragments) and preserves comments if requested. It does not format GraphQL SDL schemas or runtime execution plans.
How are syntax errors reported?
Syntax errors return a detailed location (line and column) along with an error message to guide correction. Formatting is not produced until the input is valid.
Can fields be sorted automatically?
Yes, when sort_fields is enabled, top-level and nested field selections can be ordered alphabetically to improve consistency across queries.
Does it preserve comments?
If preserve_comments is true, inline and block comments attached to nodes are retained in the formatted output, preserving context for future maintenance.
