PersistGraphQL Webpack Plugin

Webpack Plugin that gathers all the GraphQL queries/mutation/subscriptions both from .graphql files and from embedded queries in JavaScript/TypeScript source code. It generates virtual module persisted_queries.json with all the queries as a map object (query -> id) available for require from any place within source code and output file on file system with all the queries.

Installation

npm install --save-dev persistgraphql-webpack-plugin

Usage

When Webpack is used for front-end only

Sample Webpack config:

var PersistGraphQLPlugin = require('persistgraphql-webpack-plugin');
 
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(graphql|gql)$/,
        use: 'graphql-tag/loader'
      },
    ]
  }
 
  plugins: [
    new PersistGraphQLPlugin({filename: 'persisted_queries.json',
        moduleName: path.resolve('node_modules/persisted_queries.json')})
  ]
};

In the source code of front-end persisted GraphQL queries will be injected as a virtual module persisted_queries.json. This module will be updated if queries added or changed. Also asset with name persisted_queries.json will be generated during compilation and written to output directory.

var queryMap = require('persisted_queries.json');
console.log(queryMap);

When Webpack is used both for back-end and front-end

var PersistGraphQLPlugin = require('persistgraphql-webpack-plugin');
 
const moduleName = path.resolve('node_modules/persisted_queries.json');
const frontendPersistPlugin = new PersistGraphQLPlugin({ moduleName });
const backendPersistPlugin =
    new PersistGraphQLPlugin({ provider: clientPersistPlugin, moduleName });
 
var frontendWebpackConfig = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(graphql|gql)$/,
        use: 'graphql-tag/loader'
      },
    ]
  }
 
  plugins: [
    frontendPersistPlugin
  ]
};
 
var backendWebpackConfig = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    backendPersistPlugin
  ]
}

Both in the source code of front-end and back-end persisted GraphQL queries will be injected as a virtual module node_modules/persisted_queries.json. This module will be updated if queries added or changed.

var queryMap = require('persisted_queries.json');
console.log(queryMap);
