Is it possible to use GraphQL with Twirp RPC framework by Twitch

Question

I have a Golang program working with Twirp and I want to create GraphQl server, but as far as I know, twirp build on top of the Rest API

graphql is json over http. rpc is a different paradigm. But you can always build an api wrapper over an rpc framework. — Daksh M., Nov 05 '18 at 13:27
@DakshMiglani should I create a second graphql API to work with twirp API? Is it hard to do ? — GGG, Nov 05 '18 at 13:40
yeah. Make a graphql api and use twirp in the resolvers to fetch the data and all. — Daksh M., Nov 05 '18 at 14:33

It is definitely possible.

You Just have to make a wrapper over the Twirp based RPC API.

This is a similar case to wrapping a GraphQL API over a Rest API.

You should also read this article, where the wrapping of a graphql api over a rest one is shown.
