# QwikQL



A GraphQL client for Qwik framework.



---



## Installation



```bash

npm install qwikql graphql graphql-request

```



To use it, wrap the root component with it, and specify the GraphQL server url using the `url` prop.



```jsx

import { QwikQL } from 'qwikql'



export default component$(() => {

  return (

    

      

        // ...

      

    

  )

})

```



## Queries

QwikQL provides a use hook named `useQuery(QUERY)`. It takes the query as a parameter, and it returns `{ executeQuery$ }`.



`executeQuery$({ variables })` is a QRL function that takes the variables (like `{ variables: { id: 'example-id' } }`) and returns a promise with the results.



The best way to fetch data in Qwik is using `` component. To utilize ``, you have to create a resource using `useResource$` hook function.



Here's an example:



```jsx

import { useQuery } from 'qwikql'

import { gql } from 'graphql-request'



export default component$(() => {

  const ITEM_BY_ID = gql`

    query itemById($itemId: ID) {

      itemById(itemId: $itemId) {

        id

        title

      }

    }

  `



  const { executeQuery$ } = useQuery(ITEM_BY_ID)



  const item = useResource$(async () =>

    await executeQuery$({

      variables: { itemId: 'example-item-id' }

    })

  )



  return (

    <>

       (

          <>Loading Item>

        )}

        onResolved={(data: any) => (

          <>{ data.itemById.title }>

        )}

        onRejected={(error) => (

          <>Error fetching item: {error}>

        )}

      />

    >

  )

})

```



## Refetching



Since we are using `useResource$` for fetching the data, we just need to retrigger it when we want to refetch the data.



`useResource$` provides us with `track` function that watches a specific property in a store, and when that property is updated, then `useResource$` is called again.



So, we can use this feature refetch data when the query variables (or any state we want) change.



```jsx

import { useQuery } from 'qwikql'

import { ITEM_BY_ID } from '~/graphql/queries'

import { useStore } from '@builder.io/qwik'



export default component$(() => {

  const itemId = useStore({

    value: 'example-item-id'

  })

  const { executeQuery$ } = useQuery(ITEM_BY_ID)



  const item = useResource$(async ({ track }) => {

    track(itemId, 'value')

    return await executeQuery$({

      variables: { itemId: itemId.value }

    })

  })



  return (

    <>

       (

          <>Loading Item>

        )}

        onResolved={(data: any) => (

          <>{ data.itemById.title }>

        )}

        onRejected={(error) => (

          <>Error fetching item: {error}>

        )}

      />

    >

  )

})

```



### Manual refetching



In many cases, we want to refetch the query after a mutation is called, or when something happens, like a button click. In these cases, we wouldn't watch the query variables, instead we will watch a "refetch counter" that we create.



So, we'll create a store for refetch count, and start watching it in `useResource$`. To trigger refetch, we just need to increment that counter.



```jsx

import { useQuery } from 'qwikql'

import { ITEM_BY_ID } from '~/graphql/queries'

import { useStore } from '@builder.io/qwik'



export default component$(() => {

  // Create the refetch counter

  const refetchCount = useStore({ value: 0 })



  const { executeQuery$ } = useQuery(ITEM_BY_ID)



  const item = useResource$(async ({ track }) => {

    track(refetchCount, 'value')

    return await executeQuery$({

      variables: { itemId: 'example-item-id' }

    })

  })



  return (

    <>

      // Refetch on this button click

       {

          refetchCount.value++

        }}

      >

        Refetch

      



       (

          <>Loading Item>

        )}

        onResolved={(data: any) => (

          <>{ data.itemById.title }>

        )}

        onRejected={(error) => (

          <>Error fetching item: {error}>

        )}

      />

    >

  )

})

```



## Mutations



QwikQL provides `useMutation(MUTATION)` hook for GraphQL mutations. It takes the mutation as a parameter, and it returns `{ mutate$, result }`.



`mutate$(variables)` is a QRL function that takes a variables object to execute the mutation.



`result` is a store object that contains these variables: `{ data, loading, error }`.



Here's an example:



```jsx

import { useMutation } from 'qwikql'

import { gql } from 'graphql-request'



export const ADD_ITEM = gql`

  mutation addItem($input: AddItemInput!) {

    addItem(input: $input) {

      id

      title

    }

  }

`



export default component$(() => {

  const { mutate$, result } = useMutation(ADD_ITEM)



  return (

    <>

      { result.loading && 
Adding Item...
}

      { result.error && 
ERROR: { result.error.message }
}

       {

          if (event.key === 'Enter') {

            const value = (event.target as HTMLInputElement).value

            await mutate$({

              input: {

                title: value

              }

            })

          }

        }}

      />

    >

  )

})

```



## Setting Headers



There are two ways to set headers for your GraphQL operations, either directly as a prop to ``:



```jsx



```



Or you can set it using `useHeaders()` hook function:



```jsx

import { useHeaders } from 'qwikql'



export default component$(() => {

  const setHeaders = useHeaders()

  setHeader({

    authorization: 'auth-key'

  })

})

```



The latter is useful when you get the header values later in other components. A common example is setting the `authorization` after reading the token from the cookies.
