sk-graphql-client

A wrapper around isomorphic fetch that makes dealing with GraphQL a bit simpler.

Install

npm install --save sk-graphql-client

API

New Client

new SKGraphQLClient({options})

import SKGraphQLClient from 'sk-graphql-client';

const client = new SKGraphQLClient({
  endpoint: 'http://graphql-swapi.parseapp.com/'
});

{options}

  • endpoint (String): A GraphQL endpoint.
  • catchGraphQLErrors (Bool): Whether to catch GraphQL error. Defaults to true. See Errors for more information.

Query

For now it's only basic queries—Fragments will come soon.

client.query(graphQLQuery, graphQLVariables)

const graphQLQuery = `{
  hero(episode: $episode) {
    name,
    friends {
      name
    }
  }
}`;

const graphQLVariables = {
  episode: "JEDI"
};

client.query(graphQLQuery, graphQLVariables)
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res.hero);
  });

Mutation

You can also use mutation queries easily. The string mutation will be prepended to your query for you unless you add it yourself.

client.mutation(graphQLQuery, graphQLVariables)

const graphQLMutation = `CreateReviewForEpisode($ep: Episode!, $review: ReviewInput!) {
  createReview(episode: $ep, review: $review) {
    stars
    commentary
  }
}`;

const graphQLVariables = {
  ep: 'JEDI',
  review: {
    stars: 5,
    commentary: 'This is a great movie!'
  }
};

client.query(graphQLQuery, graphQLVariables)
  .then(res => {
    console.log(res.createReview);
  });

Errors

All GraphQL errors are thrown by default. This means you can catch them when you call .query or .mutate. You can disable the catching of GraphQL errors when you initialise a new client with the catchGraphQLErrors: false option.

Fetch response errors are always thrown as a standard JavaScript Error with the response status and status text.

const graphQLQuery = `{
  queryThatThrows {
    id
  }
}`;

client.query(graphQLQuery)
  .catch(error => {
    // A list of GraphQL Errors
    if (Array.isArray(error)) {
      error.forEach(graphQLError => {
        console.log(graphQLError);
      });
    }

    // A fetch error
    console.log(`${error.status} - ${error.message}`);
  });
