I have done some research on GraphQL with fhir and used github.com/Asymmetrik/graphql-fhir server in my research. It's a NODEJS server in-front of a typical fhir server interpreting the GraphQL requests and appropriately doing the translations back and forth.
I have not used it in prod yet, however I have not found any major issues with it and its pretty fast in its processing.

First, have you read the GraphQL page in the FHIR spec? hl7.org/fhir/graphql.html
Second, there's a chat.fhir.org stream dedicated to GraphQL here: chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/192326-graphql

I know Grahame has a full implementation, but I believe HAPI now has it too - or is working on it. Not sure where Firely is at with support in the .NET reference implementation.

Hi all!

I'm sure most of you never thought you'd see the day where I post something other than agendas or meeting minutes, but (cue epic music) that day has arrived. Is anyone out here familiar with GraphQL, and in particular its capacity for retrieving discrete FHIR data elements (rather than complete FHIR profiles) via API interactions with a FHIR server/ FHIR access layer? Looking for tools / libraries / guidance material (even informal) that would be helpful for someone who hasn't worked with GraphQL before. Anything at all will help!

Thank you,

-Mike
