A query batching executor for the Ruby graphql gem that lets GraphQL resolvers batch database lookups via custom loader classes. Loaders return promises and group loads by arguments, eliminating N+1 query problems in GraphQL APIs.

Use cases

• batch database queries in graphql-ruby resolvers
• avoid N+1 queries in GraphQL API
• load records by id in batched fashion
• batch load associations for active record models
• chain dependent queries with promises in resolvers
• clear cached loaders after mutations

When to choose

• you use the graphql gem and face N+1 query issues
• you want promise-based batching similar to Facebook's DataLoader in Ruby
• your resolvers load records or associations repeatedly per query

When to avoid

• you don't use Ruby or the graphql gem
• you use graphql-ruby's built-in GraphQL::Dataloader instead
• your schema has no repeated per-object data lookups
