How do you get the graphql lsp to work?

[RobertBrunhage]

I've installed it through mason and also added a .graphqlrc file that points to the schema as well as all the graphql files.

When checking LspInfo graphql is attached but I can't bring up the lsp completions and it doesn't show me any lsp if I misspell anything.

I would assume that it would use the schema to know what to provide me but maybe I am missing something?

Hey I just got mine working sometime after seeing your thread here. I thought I'd share my answer as it seems there aren't that many people out there that have solved this and written their configs online. I was in a certain situation like you.

I needed to follow this advice

You need both graphql-language-service-cli and graphql-language-service-server installed globally

• From bushblade in this comment on the neovim discourse.

EDIT: I actually found out I did not need the graphql-language-service-server and it ended up giving an error staying in my lazy-vim config, so I have removed it below.

For me I'm using LazyVim which uses lazy.nvim plugin manager. To solve the above issue. I did it in my lazyvim configs like so:

First I added those two dependencies and ensured they were installed when installing mason.nvim:

  {
    "williamboman/mason.nvim",
    opts = {
      ensure_installed = {
        -- ...elided others
        "graphql-language-service-cli", -- required for graphql-lsp
      },
    },
  },

Add graphql to nvim-lspconfig

  {
    "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
    opts = {
      servers = {
        -- ...elided other servers
        "graphql", -- required for graphql-lsp
      },
    },
  },

Bonus: Add highlighting through nvim-treesitter

  {
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    opts = {
      ensure_installed = {
        -- ...elided other configs
        "graphql",
      },
    },
  },
