Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Primitive that generates a client and reactive GraphQL queries

Readme

@solid-primitives/graphql

turborepo size size stage

Creates a reactive GraphQL query client.

Installation

npm install @solid-primitives/graphql
# or
yarn add @solid-primitives/graphql
# or
pnpm add @solid-primitives/graphql

How to use it

Import

import { createGraphQLClient, gql, request } from "@solid-primitives/graphql";
// gql is a helper for creating GraphQL query strings
// request is an additional function to perform GraphQL requests imperatively

Using the client

createGraphQLClient takes 2 arguments:

  • url - target api endpoint, as string or signal
  • options - optional, Options for the fetch function, headers, the fetcher method etc.
    • fetcher - A fetch function to replace the default one, that is Fetch API on browser and node-fetch on server.
    • headers - A headers object to be passed to the fetch function.
import { createGraphQLClient, gql } from "@solid-primitives/graphql";

const newQuery = createGraphQLClient("https://foobar.com/v1/api");
const [data, { refetch }] = newQuery(
  gql`
    query data($path: ID!) {
      PageItem(id: $path) {
        content {
          body
        }
      }
    }
  `,
  { path: "home" },
);

Preventing immediate requests

Query function is based on createResource, so it can be deferred in the same way - by passing false to the variables.

const newQuery = createGraphQLClient("https://foobar.com/v1/api");
const [queryVars, setQueryVars] = createSignal<boolean | object>(false);
const [data, { refetch }] = newQuery(gql`...`, queryVars);

setQueryVars({ foo: bar }); // will fetch for the first time
refetch(); // will refetch the second time

Providing Response Type

// query function accepts type generic for the response:
const [countries] = newQuery<{ countries: { name: string }[] }>(gql`
  query {
    countries {
      name
      code
    }
  }
`);
countries(); // T: { countries: { name: string }[] } | undefined

Initial value

By default the returned data type will be T | undefined, to make it always T you need to provide an initial value.

const [countries] = newQuery<{ countries: { name: string }[] }>(
  gql`
    query {
      countries {
        name
        code
      }
    }
  `,
  // no variables
  undefined,
  // resource options with the initial value
  {
    initialValue: { countries: [] },
  },
);
countries(); // T: { countries: { name: string }[] }

Reactive query variables

Variables passed to the query can be reactive. If they change, the resource will be refetched.

const [code, setCode] = createSignal("BR");
const [data] = query(
  gql`
    query data($code: ID!) {
      country(code: $code) {
        name
      }
    }
  `,
  // function returning an object
  () => ({
    code: code(),
  }),
);

File upload support

If the server supports the GraphQL multipart request specification it is possible to upload a File or a binary Blob of data by calling the multipartRequest function with the File/Blob instances in the variables variables. This is especially useful for GraphQL mutations, because allows for binary uploads without the necessity to first encode the data to some text-based format like base64.

import { request, gql } from "@solid-primitives/graphql";

const result = multipartRequest(
  "https://foobar.com/v1/api",
  gql`
    mutation UploadImage($file: Upload!, $caption: String!) {
      uploadImage(file: $file, caption: $caption) {
        id
      }
    }
  `,
  {
    variables: { caption: "A nice image", file: inputElement.files[0] },
  },
);

fetch on the server

When running on environments without Browser fetch, you should provide a fetcher to the options object, or add it to the global window object.

import nodeFetch from "node-fetch";
import { createGraphQLClient, gql } from "@solid-primitives/graphql";

const newQuery = createGraphQLClient("https://foobar.com/v1/api", { fetcher: nodeFetch });

Remember, just like with createResource, you will need an <ErrorBoundary> to catch the errors, even if they are accessible inside the resource. Otherwise, uncaught errors might disrupt your application.
