Usage

A subgraph name must be unique within a namespace.
npx wgc subgraph create [subgraphName] --label [labelName] --routing-url [url]
After creating a subgraph, you can publish it with wgc subgraph publish.

​
Description

The npx wgc subgraph create command allows you to create a new subgraph within the Cosmo platform. Subgraphs are isolated GraphQL schemas that can be independently deployed and managed, providing modularity and scalability to your GraphQL APIs. The [subgraphName] argument specifies the name of the new subgraph, while the --label and --routing-url options allow you to add custom metadata and define the endpoint for the subgraph’s data. Use npx wgc subgraph create -h to see all the available options.

​
Parameters

  • [subgraphName]: The name of the subgraph you want to create. It should be a unique (within the namespace) and descriptive identifier for the new subgraph.

​
Options

  • -n, --namespace : The namespace of the subgraph (Default: “default”).
  • --edg, --event-driven-graph: Irreversibly define the subgraph as an Event-Driven Graph. If the subgraph is intended to be a regular subgraph, do not use this flag. Attempting to set routing-url, subscription-url, subscription-protocol, or websocket-subprotocol when this flag is set will produce an error.
  • --label: Assign multiple labels to the new subgraph. Labels are used to categorize and organize subgraphs based on specific criteria (e.g., team, department, project).
    • Example: --label team=A
  • --routing-url: Set the URL for the subgraph’s data source. This URL defines the endpoint where the subgraph will fetch data from. Will produce an error if the -edg flag is set.
    • Example: --routing-url http://localhost:4001/graphql
  • --subscription-url: Optionally, use a different URL for subscription requests. If no subscription URL is provided, the above routing URL is used for subscriptions. Will produce an error if the -edg flag is set.
  • --subscription-protocol: Optionally, set a protocol to use for subscriptions. Will produce an error if the -edg flag is set. The available options are:
    • ws (default): Negotiate an appropriate protocol over websockets. Both graphql-ws and subscription-transport-ws are supported.
    • sse: Use Server-Sent Events with a GET request.
    • sse_post: Use Server-Sent events with a POST request.
  • --readme <path-to-readme>: The path to the markdown file which describes the subgraph.
  • --websocket-subprotocol: The subprotocol to use when subscribing to the subgraph. Will produce an error if the -edg flag is set. The supported protocols are auto (default), graphql-ws, and graphql-transport-ws. It should be used only if the subscription protocol is ws.

​
Examples

​
Regular subgraph

npx wgc subgraph create products --label team=A --routing-url http://localhost:4001/graphql

​
Event-Driven Graph

  • Create a new Event-Driven Graph named “events” with the label “team=A”:
npx wgc subgraph create events --label team=A --edg
