The main aim of the PR is: 1. To set up a module structure for 'remote-schemas' package. 2. Move parts by the remote schema codebase into the new module structure to validate it. ## Notes to the reviewer Why a PR with large-ish diff? 1. We've been making progress on the MM project but we don't yet know long it is going to take us to get to the first milestone. To understand this better, we need to figure out the unknowns as soon as possible. Hence I've taken a stab at the first two items in the [end-state](https://gist.github.com/0x777/ca2bdc4284d21c3eec153b51dea255c9) document to figure out the unknowns. Unsurprisingly, there are a bunch of issues that we haven't discussed earlier. These are documented in the 'open questions' section. 1. The diff is large but that is only code moved around and I've added a section that documents how things are moved. In addition, there are fair number of PR comments to help with the review process. ## Changes in the PR ### Module structure Sets up the module structure as follows: ``` Hasura/ RemoteSchema/ Metadata/ Types.hs SchemaCache/ Types.hs Permission.hs RemoteRelationship.hs Build.hs MetadataAPI/ Types.hs Execute.hs ``` ### 1. Types representing metadata are moved Types that capture metadata information (currently scattered across several RQL modules) are moved into `Hasura.RemoteSchema.Metadata.Types`. - This new module only depends on very 'core' modules such as `Hasura.Session` for the notion of roles and `Hasura.Incremental` for `Cacheable` typeclass. - The requirement on database modules is avoided by generalizing the remote schemas metadata to accept an arbitrary 'r' for a remote relationship definition. ### 2. SchemaCache related types and build logic have been moved Types that represent remote schemas information in SchemaCache are moved into `Hasura.RemoteSchema.SchemaCache.Types`. Similar to `H.RS.Metadata.Types`, this module depends on 'core' modules except for `Hasura.GraphQL.Parser.Variable`. It has something to do with remote relationships but I haven't spent time looking into it. The validation of 'remote relationships to remote schema' is also something that needs to be looked at. Rips out the logic that builds remote schema's SchemaCache information from the monolithic `buildSchemaCacheRule` and moves it into `Hasura.RemoteSchema.SchemaCache.Build`. Further, the `.SchemaCache.Permission` and `.SchemaCache.RemoteRelationship` have been created from existing modules that capture schema cache building logic for those two components. This was a fair amount of work. On main, currently remote schema's SchemaCache information is built in two phases - in the first phase, 'permissions' and 'remote relationships' are ignored and in the second phase they are filled in. While remote relationships can only be resolved after partially resolving sources and other remote schemas, the same isn't true for permissions. Further, most of the work that is done to resolve remote relationships can be moved to the first phase so that the second phase can be a very simple traversal. This is the approach that was taken - resolve permissions and as much as remote relationships information in the first phase. ### 3. Metadata APIs related types and build logic have been moved The types that represent remote schema related metadata APIs and the execution logic have been moved to `Hasura.RemoteSchema.MetadataAPI.Types` and `.Execute` modules respectively. ## Open questions: 1. `Hasura.RemoteSchema.Metadata.Types` is so called because I was hoping that all of the metadata related APIs of remote schema can be brought in at `Hasura.RemoteSchema.Metadata.API`. However, as metadata APIs depended on functions from `SchemaCache` module (see [1]( |

Hasura GraphQL Engine
Hasura is an open source product that accelerates API development by 10x by giving you GraphQL or REST APIs with built in authorization on your data, instantly.
Read more at hasura.io and the docs.
Features
- Make powerful queries: Built-in filtering, pagination, pattern search, bulk insert, update, delete mutations
- Works with existing, live databases: Point it to an existing database to instantly get a ready-to-use GraphQL API
- Realtime: Convert any GraphQL query to a live query by using subscriptions
- Merge remote schemas: Access custom GraphQL schemas for business logic via a single GraphQL Engine endpoint. Read more.
- Extend with Actions: Write REST APIs to extend Hasura’s schema with custom business logic.
- Trigger webhooks or serverless functions: On Postgres insert/update/delete events (read more)
- Scheduled Triggers: Execute custom business logic at specific points in time using a cron config or a one-off event.
- Fine-grained access control: Dynamic access control that integrates with your auth system (eg: auth0, firebase-auth)
- Admin UI & Migrations: Admin UI & Rails-inspired schema migrations
- Supported Databases: Supports PostgreSQL (and its flavours), MS SQL Server and Big Query. Support for more databases coming soon.

Other deployment methods
For Docker-based deployment and advanced configuration options, see deployment guides or install manifests.
Architecture
The Hasura GraphQL Engine fronts a Postgres database instance and can accept GraphQL requests from your client apps. It can be configured to work with your existing auth system and can handle access control using field-level rules with dynamic variables from your auth system.
You can also merge remote GraphQL schemas and provide a unified GraphQL API.
Client-side tooling
Hasura works with any GraphQL client. See awesome-graphql for a list of clients. Our frontend tutorial series also have integrations with GraphQL clients for different frameworks.
Add business logic
GraphQL Engine provides easy-to-reason, scalable and performant methods for adding custom business logic to your backend:
Remote schemas
Add custom resolvers in a remote schema in addition to Hasura's database-based GraphQL schema. Ideal for use-cases like implementing a payment API, or querying data that is not in your database - read more.
Actions
Actions are a way to extend Hasura’s schema with custom business logic using custom queries and mutations. Actions can be added to Hasura to handle various use cases such as data validation, data enrichment from external sources and any other complex business logic - read more
Trigger webhooks on database events
Add asynchronous business logic that is triggered based on database events. Ideal for notifications, data-pipelines from Postgres or asynchronous processing - read more.
Derived data or data transformations
Transform data in Postgres or run business logic on it to derive another dataset that can be queried using GraphQL Engine - read more.
Demos
