programmatic-query

Alternative Query component for react-apollo to make manually fired queries less painful.

See the example use case different between react-apollo and programmatic-query here.

Setup

Install

yarn add programmatic-query
# or
npm install programmatic-query

Usage

import { Query } from "programmatic-query";

• Use like Query component from react-apollo
• Use to manually fire queries with extended render prop argument

Query Props

The follow props are identical in use to the Query component in react-apollo:

• skip
• query
• variables
• onError
• onCompleted
• errorPolicy
• fetchPolicy

Read more about these props here.

children - function

A render prop to return a UI based on the query executed on component mount.

Configurable to allow the execution of the query to be handled by a seperate event other than the component mount.

To switch between the result only and with query handler behavior, pass a parameter name for the query handler to allow the query to be fired when the handler is invoked. Otherwise to use the default behavior, omit the second render prop argument and the query will be fired on component mount.

Render Prop - RESULT ONLY

Query is fired immediately upon component mount with any passed configuration to the Query component:

const App = () => (
  <Query
    query={gql`
      {
        allTodos {
          id
          text
        }
      }
    `}
  >
    {({ data, error, loading, networkStatus }) => (
      <Component>
        {data && data}
        {error && error}
        {loading && "Loading.."}
      </Component>
    )}
  </Query>
);

See children prop here

Render Prop - WITH QUERY HANDLER

const App = () => (
  <Query
    query={gql`
      {
        allTodos {
          id
          text
        }
      }
    `}
  >
    {({ data, error, loading, networkStatus }, fetchAllTodos) => (
      <Component>
        {data && data}
        {error && error}
        {loading && "Loading.."}
        <Button onPress={() => fetchAllTodos()}>Fetch All Todos</Button>
      </Component>
    )}
  </Query>
);

fetchOnMount - boolean

Specify if the query is fired on component mount even when a query handler is passed. Useful to easily fetch data on load, and allow a refetch via the query handler.

Uses the variables passed as the query prop as the variable argument.
