ra-postgraphile

Postgraphile client for react-admin

Install

$ yarn add ra-postgraphile / npm install ra-postgraphile --save

Usage

The ra-postgraphile data provider accepts 2 arguments:

• client - The ApolloClient instance to use.

• config - optional configuration

  pgDataProvider(client, [config])

The following examples shows the basic usage:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { Admin, Resource } from 'react-admin'
import { useApolloClient } from '@apollo/react-hooks'
import pgDataProvider from 'ra-postgraphile'
import { PostList, PostEdit, PostCreate } from './posts'
import { CommentList, CommentEdit, CommentCreate } from './posts'

const App = () => {
  const [dataProvider, setDataProvider] = useState(null)
  const client = useApolloClient()

  useEffect(() => {
    ;(async () => {
      const dataProvider = await pgDataProvider(client)
      setDataProvider(() => dataProvider)
    })()
  }, [])

  return (
    dataProvider && (
      <Admin dataProvider={dataProvider} layout={Layout}>
        <Resource
          name="Posts"
          list={PostList}
          edit={PostEdit}
          create={PostCreate}
        />
        <Resource
          name="Comments"
          list={CommentList}
          create={CommentCreate}
          edit={CommentEdit}
        />
      </Admin>
    )
  )
}

export default App

Limitations

The project has been tested only with the following plugins enabled on postgraphile: There is limited support for the postgis plugin and not all input/query types are properly mapped.

const PgSimplifyInflectorPlugin = require('@graphile-contrib/pg-simplify-inflector')
const PgConnectionFilterPlugin = require('postgraphile-plugin-connection-filter')
const PgConnectionFilterPostgisPlugin = require('postgraphile-plugin-connection-filter-postgis')

Configuration

You can pass an optional configuration object:

const pgDataProviderConfig = {
  queryValueToInputValueMap: {
    GeographyPoint: value => value.geojson
  }
}

• queryValueToInputValueMap - allows you to specify a mapping of how a type should map if it's taken as an Input. Please see (src/defaultValueInputTypeMapping) for a default mapping. Your config will be merged with the defaults.

  The Map is also used to specify what complex types should be completely queried. By default only scalar and scalar[] fields are fetched.
