graphql-friendly
graphql-friendly is an easy and friendly alternative to apollo-client
.
Motivations
I have never found another graph client that apollo-client
. Graphql queries can be performed with standard http client (like axios) but these client does not support graphql subscriptions
. apollo-client
was the only one however it is not quiet simple as i would like.
Morever, apollo-client
has been originally made for react
and I love vue
. There is a good plugin for vue
. I remember that configure apollo for Nuxt.js was such a pain and I had a lot of issue about the cache. I searched all Github to find a solution and i lost a lot of time. Now i have others projects with vue
and graphql and I need a more simple tool for that.
Features
- :zap: Send
query
andmutation
request to your favorite graphql API - :tada: Supports
subscription
request - :rainbow: Supports variables with your queries
- :octopus: Accept graphql query as string or as object (parsed with
graphl-tag

Get started
npm install graphql-friendly
Node.js && Browser
To declare your client, your just need the following line
import { GraphqlClient } from 'graphql-friendly';
const myGraphqlClient = new GraphqlClient('http://localhost:10000/v1/graphql');
Then, you just have to call the method you want :
query
import gql from 'graphql-tag';
const createUser = gql`
mutation createUser($email: String!) {
insert_users(objects: {
email: $email,
nickname: "fefe",
password: "zefe"
}) {
returning {
id
}
}
}
`;
const answer = await myGraphqlClient.query({
query: CreateUser,
variables: { email: '[email protected]' },
});
console.log(answer) // { insert_users: { ... }}
mutation
For the moment, .mutation
is exactly the same as .query
.
subscription
Graphql allows you to make subscription. To do this, you juste have to call the subscribe
method and subscribe the answer
const myObserver = myGraphqlClient.subscribe({ query: 'subscription { users { id } }' })
for await (const event of myObserver) {
console.log(event);
break; // If you want to cut the subscription
}
With Vue 3
import { createApp } from 'vue';
import GraphqlFriendly from 'graphql-friendly';
const app = createApp(App);
app.use(GraphqlFriendly, {
url: 'http://localhost:10000/v1/graphql',
});
After installing the plugin, the client is accessible in your components as this.$graphqlClient
.
