VQL


Clean up your Vue SFC Scripts by moving your graphql queries to their own block


NPM version

## Why?
When writing Vue clients for GraphQL APIs, I've noticed scripts in Vue SFC files have become over-filled with GraphQL queries and had a need to organize the code better without taking away from what makes SFCs great: Having all the code for a single component organized and in one place.

Moving queries to their own files would then create multiple files for a single component, cluttering the project more and reducing productivity in having to write components spanning multiple files.

Enter Vue GQL! I wrote this Vite plugin to allow placing GraphQL queries related to a component directly within the component file without cluttering scripts, by placing them within their own specialized \ tags.

> ⚠️ This Plugin is still in Development and currently only works with the `` format

## Install
```bash
# Install Plugin
npm i -D vite-plugin-vue-gql

# Install Peer Dependicies
npm i @urql/vue graphql
```

```ts
// vite.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import Vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import Vql from 'vite-plugin-vue-gql'

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
Vue(),
Vql(),
],
})
```

If you are using typescript, make sure you include the following in your `tsconfig.json`
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"types": [
"vite-plugin-vue-gql/client"
]
}
}
```

## Usage
Instead of import your functions from `@urql/vue` you should now import them from the `vql` package.

```ts
import { useQuery, useMutation, useSubscription } from 'vql'
```

`<gql>` tags can have the following attributes, `query`(not required), `mutation`, `subscription`, and `name`. The first three attributes indicates what type of query it is while the `name` attribute allows you to have multiple queries in the same Vue SFC.
```html
<!-- Query-->
<gql></gql>

<!-- Mutation -->
<gql mutation></gql>

<!-- Subscription -->
<gql subscription></gql>

<!-- Named GQL Block -->
<gql name="users"></gql>
```

## Examples

**Basic Usage**
```html
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useQuery } from 'vql'

const { data } = useQuery()

{{ data.hello }}

{
hello
}

```

**Query with Variables**
```html

import { ref } from 'vue'
import { useQuery } from 'vql'

const name = ref('Evan')
const { data } = useQuery({ variables: { name } })

...

query($name: String!) {
user(name: $name) {
username
}
}

```

**Named Query**
```html

import { ref } from 'vue'
import { useQuery } from 'vql'

const name = ref('Evan')
const { data } = useQuery('users', { variables: { name } })

...

query($name: String!) {
user(name: $name) {
username
}
}

```

**Mutations**
```html

import { ref } from 'vue'
import { useMutation } from 'vql'

const { executeMutation } = useMutation()

...

mutation($name: String!) {
createUser(name: $name) {
username
}
}

```

**Subscriptions**
```html

import { ref } from 'vue'
import { useSubscription } from 'vql'

const isPaused = ref(false)
const handleSubscription = (messages = [], response) => {
return [response.newMessages, ...messages]
}

const { data } = useSubscription({ from: 'Eren' }, { pause: isPaused }, handleSubscription)

...

subscription MessageSub($from: String!) {
newMessages(from: $from) {
id
from
text
}
}

```

## Fragments
You can use fragments in your graphql queries, mutations, and subscriptions by specifying your `.gql` files that contain your fragments in the config.

```ts
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import Vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import Vql from 'vite-plugin-vue-gql'

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
Vue(),
Vql({
fragments: './src/fragments/**/*.gql',
}),
],
})
```

Here is a general idea of what your fragments should look like
```gql
# src/fragments/albums.gql

fragment albumFields on Album {
id
name
image
}
```

Finally you can use these fragments in your Vue SFC

```html

import { ref } from 'vue'
import { useQuery } from 'vql'

const name = ref('RADWIMPS')
const { data } = useQuery({ variables: { name } })

...

query($name: String!) {
queryArtists(byName: $name) {
name
image
albums {
...albumFields
}
}
}

```

## Type Definitions
You can automatically generate typescript type definition files from you graphql schema by providing a link to your server
or a path to your graphql schema.

```ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import Vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import Vql from 'vite-plugin-vue-gql'

export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
Vue(),
Vql({
schema: 'https://my-api.dev/graphql',
dts: 'src/schema.d.ts',
}),
],
})
```

Whenever the application is run, vite-plugin-vue-gql will download the schema from your server or open the provided gql schema and generate a typescript
type definition file for your schema via [GraphQL Code Generator](https://www.graphql-code-generator.com/)

## Roadmap
- [x] Add support for fragments
- [ ] Investigate automatically generating queries from SFC templates
