rollup-plugin-graphql-js-client-compiler

Converts GraphQL files and schema definitions into ES Modules for use with the graphql-js-client during build time, using rollup and graphql-js-client-compiler.

Usage

Development

Transform any .graphql file (including schema definitions) into js client query builder syntax for use with graphql-js-client.

// rollup.config.js
import {rollup} from 'rollup';
import graphqlCompiler from 'rollup-plugin-graphql-js-client-compiler';
 
export default {
  entry: 'main.js',
  dest: 'bundle.js',
  moduleName: 'myModule',
  format: 'cjs',
  plugins: [
    graphqlCompiler({
      schema: 'graphql/schema.graphql'
    })
  ]
}
 
// main.js
import query from './graphql/query.graphql';
import types from './graphql/schema.graphql';
import Client from 'graphql-js-client';
 
const client = new Client(types, {url: 'https://api.myproject.org'});
 
client.send(query, {someVariable: 'value'}).then(({data, model}) => {
  // do stuff
});

NOTE: The schema can be an IDL file with the .graphql extension, or an introspection response in JSON format with the .json extension.

This will include the entire schema, as represented with graphql-js-schema.

Production

For production builds, make sure to optimize the schema, only including fields that actually used in graphql documents. Often, the entire schema is not used by a single application. To enable optimization, tweak your config as follows:

// rollup.config.js
import {rollup} from 'rollup';
import graphqlCompiler from 'rollup-plugin-graphql-js-client-compiler';
 
export default {
  entry: 'main.js',
  dest: 'bundle.js',
  moduleName: 'myModule',
  format: 'cjs',
  plugins: [
    graphqlCompiler({
      schema: 'graphql/schema.graphql',
      optimize: true,
      profileDocuments: ['graphql/**/*.graphql']
    })
  ]
}

The profileDocuments option should be an array of minimatch patterns that match all queries included in your application or library.

NOTE: Profiling makes the compilation of the schema slower. It is advised to only use this option in production.
