@datocms/cda-client
A lightweight, TypeScript-ready package that offers various helpers around the native Fetch API to perform GraphQL requests towards DatoCMS Content Delivery API.
TypeScript Support
This package is built with TypeScript and provides type definitions out of the box. It supports TypedDocumentNode
for improved type inference when using gql.tada, GraphQL Code Generator or similar tools.
Examples
Basic Query Execution
import { executeQuery } from '@datocms/cda-client';
const query = `
query {
allArticles {
id
title
}
}
`;
const result = await executeQuery(query, {
token: 'your-api-token-here',
});
console.log(result);
Using with TypeScript and GraphQL Code Generator
import { executeQuery } from '@datocms/cda-client';
import { AllArticlesQuery } from './generated/graphql';
const result = await executeQuery(AllArticlesQuery, {
token: 'your-api-token-here',
variables: {
limit: 10,
},
});
console.log(result.allArticles);
Installation
npm install @datocms/cda-client
Usage
This package provides several utility functions to help you interact with the DatoCMS Content Delivery API using GraphQL.
executeQuery
The main function to execute a GraphQL query against the DatoCMS Content Delivery API.
import { executeQuery } from '@datocms/cda-client';
const result = await executeQuery(query, options);
Parameters
query
: A GraphQL query string,DocumentNode
, orTypedDocumentNode
.options
: An object containing execution options.
Options
| Option | Type | Description |
| -------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| token
| string
| DatoCMS API token (required) Read more |
| includeDrafts
| boolean
| If true, return draft versions of records Read more |
| excludeInvalid
| boolean
| If true, filter out invalid records Read more |
| environment
| string
| Name of the DatoCMS environment for the query Read more |
| contentLink
| 'vercel-v1'
| If true, embed metadata for Content Link Read more |
| baseEditingUrl
| string
| Base URL of your DatoCMS project Read more |
| returnCacheTags
| boolean
| If true, receive Cache Tags associated with the query Read more |
| variables
| object
| Variables to be sent with the query |
| fetchFn
| function
| Custom fetch function (optional) |
| requestInitOptions
| Partial<RequestInit>
| Additional request initialization options (optional) |
| autoRetry
| boolean
| Automatically retry on rate limit (default: true) |
rawExecuteQuery
Similar to executeQuery
, but returns both the query result and the full response object. This can be handy when used together with returnCacheTags to actually retrieve the cache tags.
import { rawExecuteQuery } from '@datocms/cda-client';
const [result, response] = await rawExecuteQuery(query, { token: 'your-api-token-here', returnCacheTags: true });
const cacheTags = response.headers.get('x-cache-tags');
buildRequestHeaders
Builds request headers for a GraphQL query towards the DatoCMS Content Delivery API.
import { buildRequestHeaders } from '@datocms/cda-client';
const headers = buildRequestHeaders(options);
Options
The buildRequestHeaders
function accepts the same options as executeQuery
, except for variables
, fetchFn
, and autoRetry
.
buildRequestInit
Builds the request initialization object for a GraphQL query towards the DatoCMS Content Delivery API.
import { buildRequestInit } from '@datocms/cda-client';
const requestInit = buildRequestInit(query, options);
Parameters
query
: A GraphQL query string orDocumentNode
.options
: An object containing execution options (same asexecuteQuery
).
Error Handling
In case a query fails (either with an HTTP status code outside of the 2xx range, or for an error in the query), an ApiError
exception will be thrown by the client. This error contains all the details of the request and response, allowing you to debug and handle errors effectively.
Example
import { executeQuery, ApiError } from '@datocms/cda-client';
const query = `
query {
allArticles {
id
title
}
}
`;
try {
const result = await executeQuery(query, {
token: 'your-api-token-here',
});
console.log(result);
} catch (e) {
if (e instanceof ApiError) {
// Information about the failed request
console.log(e.query);
console.log(e.options);
// Information about the response
console.log(e.response.status);
console.log(e.response.statusText);
console.log(e.response.headers);
console.log(e.response.body);
} else {
// Handle other types of errors
throw e;
}
}
