## Features
- Most **simple and lightweight** GraphQL client.
- Promise-based API (works with `async` / `await`).
- Typescript support.
- AST support.
- GraphQL Loader support.[📖 **Release Notes**](./CHANGELOG.md)
[📄 **Docs**](https://nuxt-graphql-request.vercel.app/)## Setup
```bash
npx nuxi@latest module add graphql-request
```For Nuxt2, use nuxt-graphql-request v6:
```bash
yarn add nuxt-graphql-request@v6 graphql --dev
```**nuxt.config.js**
```ts
module.exports = {
modules: ['nuxt-graphql-request'],build: {
transpile: ['nuxt-graphql-request'],
},graphql: {
/**
* An Object of your GraphQL clients
*/
clients: {
default: {
/**
* The client endpoint url
*/
endpoint: 'https://swapi-graphql.netlify.com/.netlify/functions/index',
/**
* Per-client options overrides
* See: https://github.com/prisma-labs/graphql-request#passing-more-options-to-fetch
*/
options: {},
},
secondClient: {
// ...client config
},
// ...your other clients
},/**
* Options
* See: https://github.com/prisma-labs/graphql-request#passing-more-options-to-fetch
*/
options: {
method: 'get', // Default to `POST`
},/**
* Optional
* default: false (this includes graphql-tag for node_modules folder)
*/
includeNodeModules: true,
},
};
```### Runtime Config
If you need to supply your endpoints at runtime, rather than build time, you can use the [Runtime Config](https://nuxtjs.org/docs/2.x/configuration-glossary/configuration-runtime-config) to provide your values:
**nuxt.config.js**
```ts
module.exports = {
publicRuntimeConfig: {
graphql: {
clients: {
default: {
endpoint: '',
},
secondClient: {
endpoint: '',
},
// ...more clients
},
},
},
};
```## TypeScript
Type definitions should work out-of-the-box. You should already have Typescript set up to [extend Nuxt's auto-generated config](https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/tsconfig). If not, you can start here:
```json{}[tsconfig.json]
{
"extends": "./.nuxt/tsconfig.json"
}
```## Usage
### Component
## `useAsyncData`
```vue
import { gql } from 'nuxt-graphql-request/utils';
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();
const query = gql`
query planets {
allPlanets {
planets {
id
name
}
}
}
`;const { data: planets } = await useAsyncData('planets', async () => {
const data = await $graphql.default.request(query);
return data.allPlanets.planets;
});```
## User-defined functions
```vue
import { gql } from 'nuxt-graphql-request/utils';
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();
const query = gql`
query planets {
allPlanets {
planets {
id
name
}
}
}
`;const planets = ref([])
const fetchPlanets = () => {
const data = await $graphql.default.request(query);
planets.value = data.allPlanets.planets;
}```
### Store actions
```ts
import { defineStore } from 'pinia';
import { gql } from 'nuxt-graphql-request/utils';
import { useNuxtApp } from '#imports';type Planet = { id: number; name: string };
export const useMainStore = defineStore('main', {
state: () => ({
planets: null as Planet[] | null,
}),
actions: {
async fetchAllPlanets() {
const query = gql`
query planets {
allPlanets {
planets {
id
name
}
}
}
`;const data = await useNuxtApp().$graphql.default.request(query);
this.planets = data.allPlanets.planets;
},
},
});
```### GraphQL Request Client
> Examples from the official graphql-request library.
#### Authentication via HTTP header
```ts{}[nuxt.config.ts]
export default defineNuxtConfig({
graphql: {
clients: {
default: {
endpoint: 'https://swapi-graphql.netlify.com/.netlify/functions/index',
options: {
headers: {
authorization: 'Bearer MY_TOKEN',
},
},
},
},
},
});
```##### Incrementally setting headers
If you want to set headers after the GraphQLClient has been initialised, you can use the `setHeader()` or `setHeaders()` functions.
```ts
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();// Override all existing headers
$graphql.default.setHeaders({ authorization: 'Bearer MY_TOKEN' });// Set a single header
$graphql.default.setHeader('authorization', 'Bearer MY_TOKEN');
```##### Set endpoint
If you want to change the endpoint after the GraphQLClient has been initialised, you can use the `setEndpoint()` function.
```ts
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();$graphql.default.setEndpoint(newEndpoint);
```##### passing-headers-in-each-request
It is possible to pass custom headers for each request. `request()` and `rawRequest()` accept a header object as the third parameter
```vue
import { gql } from 'nuxt-graphql-request/utils';
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();
const requestHeaders = {
authorization: 'Bearer MY_TOKEN',
};const planets = ref();
const fetchSomething = async () => {
const query = gql`
query planets {
allPlanets {
planets {
id
name
}
}
}
`;// Overrides the clients headers with the passed values
const data = await $graphql.default.request(query, {}, requestHeaders);
planets.value = data.allPlanets.planets;
};```
#### Passing more options to `fetch`
```ts{}[nuxt.config.ts]
export default defineNuxtConfig({
graphql: {
clients: {
default: {
endpoint: 'https://swapi-graphql.netlify.com/.netlify/functions/index',
options: {
credentials: 'include',
mode: 'cors',
},
},
},
},
});
```Or using setHeaders / setHeader:
```ts
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();// Set a single header
$graphql.default.setHeader('credentials', 'include');
$graphql.default.setHeader('mode', 'cors');// Override all existing headers
$graphql.default.setHeaders({
credentials: 'include',
mode: 'cors',
});
```#### Using GraphQL Document variables
```vue
import { gql } from 'nuxt-graphql-request/utils';
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();
const fetchSomething = async () => {
const query = gql`
query planets($first: Int) {
allPlanets(first: $first) {
planets {
id
name
}
}
}
`;const variables = { first: 10 };
const planets = await this.$graphql.default.request(query, variables);
};```
#### Error handling
```vue
import { gql } from 'nuxt-graphql-request/utils';
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();
const fetchSomething = async () => {
const mutation = gql`
mutation AddMovie($title: String!, $releaseDate: Int!) {
insert_movies_one(object: { title: $title, releaseDate: $releaseDate }) {
title
releaseDate
}
}
`;const variables = {
title: 'Inception',
releaseDate: 2010,
};const data = await $graphql.default.request(mutation, variables);
};```
#### GraphQL Mutations
```vue
import { gql } from 'nuxt-graphql-request/utils';
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();
const fetchSomething = async () => {
const query = gql`
{
Movie(title: "Inception") {
releaseDate
actors {
fullname # "Cannot query field 'fullname' on type 'Actor'. Did you mean 'name'?"
}
}
}
`;try {
const data = await $graphql.default.request(query);
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, undefined, 2));
} catch (error) {
console.error(JSON.stringify(error, undefined, 2));
process.exit(1);
}
};```
#### Receiving a raw response
The `request` method will return the `data` or `errors` key from the response. If you need to access the `extensions` key you can use the `rawRequest` method:
```ts
import { gql } from 'nuxt-graphql-request/utils';const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();
const query = gql`
query planets($first: Int) {
allPlanets(first: $first) {
planets {
id
name
}
}
}
`;const variables = { first: 10 };
const { data, errors, extensions, headers, status } = await $graphql.default.rawRequest(
endpoint,
query,
variables
);
console.log(JSON.stringify({ data, errors, extensions, headers, status }, undefined, 2));
```#### Batch queries
```vue
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();
const fetchSomething = async () => {
const query1 = /* GraphQL */ `
query ($id: ID!) {
capsule(id: $id) {
id
landings
}
}
`;const variables1 = {
id: 'C105',
};const query2 = /* GraphQL */ `
{
rockets(limit: 10) {
active
}
}
`;const query3 = /* GraphQL */ `
query ($id: ID!) {
core(id: $id) {
id
block
original_launch
}
}
`;const variables3 = {
id: 'B1015',
};try {
const data = await $graphql.default.batchRequests([
{ document: query1, variables: variables1 },
{ document: query2 },
{ document: query3, variables: variables3 },
]);console.log(JSON.stringify(data, undefined, 2));
} catch (error) {
console.error(JSON.stringify(error, undefined, 2));
process.exit(1);
}
};```
#### Cancellation
It is possible to cancel a request using an `AbortController` signal.
```vue
import { gql } from 'nuxt-graphql-request/utils';
const { $graphql } = useNuxtApp();
const fetchSomething = async () => {
const query = gql`
query planets {
allPlanets {
planets {
id
name
}
}
}
`;const abortController = new AbortController();
const planets = await $graphql.default.request({
document: query,
signal: abortController.signal,
});abortController.abort();
};```
In Node environment, AbortController is supported since version v14.17.0. For Node.js v12 you can use [abort-controller](https://github.com/mysticatea/abort-controller) polyfill.
```ts
import 'abort-controller/polyfill';const abortController = new AbortController();
```#### Middleware
It's possible to use a middleware to pre-process any request or handle raw response.
Request & response middleware example (set actual auth token to each request & log request trace id if error caused):
```ts
function requestMiddleware(request: RequestInit) {
const token = getToken();
return {
...request,
headers: { ...request.headers, 'x-auth-token': token },
};
}function responseMiddleware(response: Response) {
if (response.errors) {
const traceId = response.headers.get('x-b3-traceid') || 'unknown';
console.error(
`[${traceId}] Request error:
status ${response.status}
details: ${response.errors}`
);
}
}export default defineNuxtConfig({
modules: ['nuxt-graphql-request'],graphql: {
/**
* An Object of your GraphQL clients
*/
clients: {
default: {
/**
* The client endpoint url
*/
endpoint: 'https://swapi-graphql.netlify.com/.netlify/functions/index',
/**
* Per-client options overrides
* See: https://github.com/prisma-labs/graphql-request#passing-more-options-to-fetch
*/
options: {
requestMiddleware: requestMiddleware,
responseMiddleware: responseMiddleware,
},
},// ...your other clients
},/**
* Options
* See: https://github.com/prisma-labs/graphql-request#passing-more-options-to-fetch
*/
options: {
method: 'get', // Default to `POST`
},/**
* Optional
* default: false (this includes graphql-tag for node_modules folder)
*/
includeNodeModules: true,
},
});
```## [FAQ](https://github.com/prisma-labs/graphql-request/blob/master/README.md#faq)
#### Why use `nuxt-graphql-request` over `@nuxtjs/apollo`?
Don't get me wrong, Apollo Client is great and well maintained by the vue / nuxt community, I used Apollo Client for 18months before switching to graphql-request.
However, as I am obsessed with performances, Apollo Client doesn't work for me at all:
- I don't need another state management as the Vue ecosystem is enough (Vuex & Persisted data).
- I don't need an extra ~120kb parsed in my app for fetching my data.
- I don't need subscriptions as I use pusher.com, there are also alternatives for a WS client: [http://github.com/lunchboxer/graphql-subscriptions-client](http://github.com/lunchboxer/graphql-subscriptions-client)#### Why do I have to install `graphql`?
`graphql-request` uses a TypeScript type from the `graphql` package such that if you are using TypeScript to build your project and you are using `graphql-request` but don't have `graphql` installed TypeScript build will fail. Details [here](https://github.com/prisma-labs/graphql-request/pull/183#discussion_r464453076). If you are a JS user then you do not technically need to install `graphql`. However, if you use an IDE that picks up TS types even for JS (like VSCode) then it's still in your interest to install `graphql` so that you can benefit from enhanced type safety during development.
#### Do I need to wrap my GraphQL documents inside the `gql` template exported by `graphql-request`?
No. It is there for convenience so that you can get the tooling support like prettier formatting and IDE syntax highlighting. You can use `gql` from `graphql-tag` if you need it for some reason too.
### What's the difference between `graphql-request`, Apollo and Relay?
`graphql-request` is the most minimal and simplest to use GraphQL client. It's perfect for small scripts or simple apps.
Compared to GraphQL clients like Apollo or Relay, `graphql-request` doesn't have a built-in cache and has no integrations for frontend frameworks. The goal is to keep the package and API as minimal as possible.
### Does nuxt-graphql-request support mutations?
Sure, you can perform any GraphQL queries & mutations as before 👍
