# graphql-tag.macro

Babel Macro for the [graphql-tag](https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-tag) library.

# What it does

It inlines the result of parsing the GraphQL queries with `graphql-tag`.

Converts this:

```js
const query = gql`
query {
hello {
world
}
}
`;
```

To this:

```js
const query = {
'kind': 'Document',
'definitions': [{
'kind': 'OperationDefinition',
'operation': 'query',
'variableDefinitions': [],
'directives': [],
'selectionSet': {
'kind': 'SelectionSet',
'selections': [{
'kind': 'Field',
'alias': null,
'name': {
'kind': 'Name',
'value': 'hello'
},
'arguments': [],
'directives': [],
'selectionSet': {
'kind': 'SelectionSet',
'selections': [{
'kind': 'Field',
'alias': null,
'name': {
'kind': 'Name',
'value': 'world'
},
'arguments': [],
'directives': [],
'selectionSet': null
}]
}
}]
}
}],
'loc': {
'start': 0,
'end': 45,
'source': {
'body': '\\\\n query {\\\\n hello {\\\\n world\\\\n }\\\\n }\\\\n',
'name': 'GraphQL request',
'locationOffset': {
'line': 1,
'column': 1
}
}
}
};
```

It also supports adding interpolated fragments:

```js
const frag = gql`
fragment Frag on Hello {
world
}
`;

const query = gql`
query {
hello {
universe
...Frag
}
}

${frag}
`;
```

# Why

To avoid the runtime overhead of parsing a string into a GraphQL AST.

# Installation and setup

[Install](https://github.com/kentcdodds/babel-macros#installation) and [configure](https://github.com/kentcdodds/babel-macros/blob/master/other/docs/user.md) babel-macros if you haven't already.

Then install this package:

```
# with yarn
yarn add -D graphql-tag.macro

# with npm
npm install -D graphql-tag.macro
```

# Usage

The usage is the same as using [graphql-tag](https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-tag) directly, the only difference is that you have to import `gql` from the macro now:

```js
import gql from 'graphql-tag.macro';

const query = gql`
query {
hello {
world
}
}
`;
```
