What is the status of the intended GraphQL API for v8.1? Is there any documentation?

My instance does not seem to have any graphql folder…

[pgr]

It’s not a folder, it’s a Symfony route ( a mapping from a URL path to a controller). It’s ready to be used (the entire SuiteCRM 8 UI runs on top of it), but Documentation is still lacking.

This post might be able to get you started, I posted a sample custom API entrypoint:

Custom API V8 creation in SuiteCRM8

No docs yet… but the core SuiteCRM v8 uses the API everywhere, so the trick is to copy existing code from core. That Github repo was an older solution to use GraphQL before SuiteCRM v8 came out - it is a different GraphQL, I don’t think it’s good to use that, going forward. I have a barely-working-example I worked on a year ago; I don’t remember anything from it, and if you can’t get it to work, I probably won’t be able to help you. But here it goes: Create file extensions/MyProject/core/bac…

Once you can get the basics going, and understand the way URLs map to PHP classes, you should be able to find plenty of examples in the existing v8 code.
