# [๐Ÿฆ• DQL](https://deno.land/x/dql)

### _**Web Scraping with Deno ย โ€“ย  DOM + GraphQL**_

---

**`DQL`** is a web scraping module for Deno and Deno Deploy that integrates the power of [**GraphQL Queries**](https://graphql.org/learn/queries) with the DOM tree of a remote webpage or HTML document fragment. This is a fork of [**DenoQL**](https://deno.land/x/denoql) with some heavy refactoring and some additional features:

- [x] Compatibility with the [**Deno Deploy**](https://deno.com/deploy) architecture
- [x] Ability to pass variables alongside all queries
- [x] New state-management class with additional methods
- [x] Modular project structure (as opposed to a mostly single-file design)
- [x] Improved types and schema structure

> **Note**: _This is a work-in-progress and there is still a lot to be done._

## `useQuery`

The primary function exported by the module is the workhorse named `useQuery`:

```ts
import { useQuery } from "https://deno.land/x/dql/mod.ts";

const data = await useQuery(`query { ... }`);
```

### `QueryOptions`

You can also provide a `QueryOptions` object as the second argument of `useQuery`, to further control the behavior of your query requests. All properties are optional.

```ts
const data = await useQuery(`query { ... }`, {
concurrency: 8, // passed directly to PQueue initializer
fetch_options: { // passed directly to Fetch API requests
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer ghp_a5025a80a24defd0a7d06b4fc215bb5635a167c6",
},
},
variables: {}, // variables defined in your queries
operationName: "", // when using multiple queries
});
```

## `createServer`

With [**Deno Deploy**](https://dash.deno.com/new), you can deploy **`DQL`** with a GraphQL Playground in **only 2 lines of code**:

```ts
import { createServer } from "https://deno.land/x/dql/mod.ts";

createServer(80, { endpoint: "https://dql.deno.dev" });
```

## Command Line Usage (CLI)

```bash
deno run -A --unstable https://deno.land/x/dql/serve.ts
```

#### Custom port (default is `8080`)

```bash
deno run -A https://deno.land/x/dql/serve.ts --port 3000
```

> **Warning**: you need to have the [**Deno CLI**](https://deno.land) installed first.
