fusion-apollo

Fusion.js plugin for universal rendering with React and Apollo

This package provides universal rendering for Fusion.js applications leveraging GraphQL.

The plugin will perform graphql queries on the server, thereby rendering your applications initial HTML view on the server before sending it to the client. Additionally this plugin will also provide initial state hydration on the client side.

Installation

yarn add fusion-apollo

Usage

// ./src/main.js
import React from 'react';
import App from 'fusion-react';
import {RenderToken} from 'fusion-core';

// New import provided by this plugin
import ApolloPlugin, {ApolloClientToken} from 'fusion-apollo';
// A barebones Apollo Client
import ApolloClient from 'fusion-apollo-universal-client';

export default function() {
  const app = new App(<Hello />);
  app.register(RenderToken, ApolloPlugin)
  app.register(ApolloClientToken, ApolloClient);
  return app;
}

Loading GraphQL Queries/Schemas

fusion-apollo ships with a compiler plugin that lets you load graphql queries and schemas with the gql macro. This macro takes a relative path argument and returns the query/schema as a string.

NOTE: Because this is a build time feature, the path argument must be a string literal. Dynamic paths are not supported.

import {gql} from 'fusion-apollo';
const query = gql('./some-query.graphql');
const schema = gql('./some-schema.graphql');

API

ApolloClientToken

import {ApolloClientToken} from 'fusion-apollo';

A plugin, which provides an instance of Apollo Client, to be registered and used as within the Apollo Provider. You can use fusion-apollo-universal-client as a barebones Apollo Client token.

Types

type ApolloClient<TInitialState> = (ctx: Context, initialState: TInitialState) => ApolloClientType;

ApolloContextToken

import {ApolloContextToken} from 'fusion-apollo';

Allows registration of a context object which gets passed into every resolver. See the Apollo Client context documentation for more details.

Types

type ApolloContext<T> = (ctx: Context => T) | T;

GraphQLSchemaToken

import {GraphQLSchemaToken} from 'fusion-apollo';

Define the GraphQLSchemaToken when using a locally hosted GraphQL endpoint from within a Fusion.js application. Connect your schema to a Fusion.js server with fusion-plugin-apollo-server. You can find an example schema in the graphql-tools repo.

Types

type GraphQLSchema = string;

Plugin

import ApolloPlugin from 'fusion-apollo';

A plugin which is responsible for rendering (both virtual DOM and server-side rendering).

gql

import {gql} from 'fusion-apollo';

A macro for loading graphql queries and schemas. Takes a relative path string and returns the contents of the graphql schema/query as a string.

Types

type gql = (path: string): string

• path: string - Relative path to the graphql schema/query file. NOTE: This must be a string literal, dynamic paths are not supported.
