re-graph is a graphql client for Clojure and ClojureScript with bindings for re-frame applications.
This library behaves like the popular Apollo client for graphql and as such is compatible with lacinia-pedestal.
Features include:
- Subscriptions, queries and mutations
- Supports websocket and HTTP transports
- Works with Apollo-compatible servers like lacinia-pedestal
- Queues websocket messages until ready
- Websocket reconnects on disconnect
- Simultaneous connection to multiple GraphQL services
Add re-graph to your project's dependencies:
This will also pull in re-graph.hato, a library for using re-graph on the JVM based on
hato which requires JDK11.
To use earlier JDKs, exclude re-graph.hato and include re-graph.clj-http-gniazdo.
If you are only targeting Javascript you do not need either of these libraries.
;; For JDK 11+
[re-graph "x.y.z"]
;; For JDK 10-
[re-graph "x.y.z" :exclusions [re-graph.hato]]
[re-graph.clj-http-gniazdo "x.y.z"]
;; For Javascript only
[re-graph "x.y.z" :exclusions [re-graph.hato]]Call the init function to bootstrap it and then use subscribe, unsubscribe, query and mutate functions:
(require '[re-graph.core :as re-graph])
;; initialise re-graph, possibly including configuration options (see below)
(re-graph/init {})
(defn on-thing [{:keys [data errors] :as payload}]
;; do things with data
))
;; start a subscription, with responses sent to the callback-fn provided
(re-graph/subscribe :my-subscription-id ;; this id should uniquely identify this subscription
"{ things { id } }" ;; your graphql query
{:some "variable"} ;; arguments map
on-thing) ;; callback-fn when messages are recieved
;; stop the subscription
(re-graph/unsubscribe :my-subscription-id)
;; perform a query, with the response sent to the callback event provided
(re-graph/query "{ things { id } }" ;; your graphql query
{:some "variable"} ;; arguments map
on-thing) ;; callback event when response is recievedDispatch the init event to bootstrap it and then use the :subscribe, :unsubscribe, :query and :mutate events:
(require '[re-graph.core :as re-graph]
'[re-frame.core :as re-frame])
;; initialise re-graph, possibly including configuration options (see below)
(re-frame/dispatch [::re-graph/init {}])
(re-frame/reg-event-db
::on-thing
(fn [db [_ {:keys [data errors] :as payload}]]
;; do things with data e.g. write it into the re-frame database
))
;; start a subscription, with responses sent to the callback event provided
(re-frame/dispatch [::re-graph/subscribe
:my-subscription-id ;; this id should uniquely identify this subscription
"{ things { id } }" ;; your graphql query
{:some "variable"} ;; arguments map
[::on-thing]]) ;; callback event when messages are recieved
;; stop the subscription
(re-frame/dispatch [::re-graph/unsubscribe :my-subscription-id])
;; perform a query, with the response sent to the callback event provided
(re-frame/dispatch [::re-graph/query
"{ things { id } }" ;; your graphql query
{:some "variable"} ;; arguments map
[::on-thing]]) ;; callback event when response is recievedOptions can be passed to the init event, with the following possibilities:
(re-frame/dispatch
[::re-graph/init
{:ws {:url "wss://foo.io/graphql-ws" ;; override the websocket url (defaults to /graphql-ws, nil to disable)
:sub-protocol "graphql-ws" ;; override the websocket sub-protocol (defaults to "graphql-ws")
:reconnect-timeout 5000 ;; attempt reconnect n milliseconds after disconnect (defaults to 5000, nil to disable)
:resume-subscriptions? true ;; start existing subscriptions again when websocket is reconnected after a disconnect (defaults to true)
:connection-init-payload {} ;; the payload to send in the connection_init message, sent when a websocket connection is made (defaults to {})
:impl {} ;; implementation-specific options (see hato for options, defaults to {})
}
:http {:url "http://bar.io/graphql" ;; override the http url (defaults to /graphql)
:impl {} ;; implementation-specific options (see clj-http or hato for options, defaults to {})
}
}])Either :ws or :http can be set to nil to disable the WebSocket or HTTP protocols.
re-graph now supports multiple instances, allowing you to connect to multiple GraphQL services at the same time. All function/event signatures now take an optional instance-name as the first argument to let you address them separately:
(require '[re-graph.core :as re-graph])
;; initialise re-graph for service A
(re-graph/init :service-a {:ws-url "wss://a.com/graphql-ws})
;; initialise re-graph for service B
(re-graph/init :service-b {:ws-url "wss://b.net/api/graphql-ws})
(defn on-a-thing [{:keys [data errors] :as payload}]
;; do things with data from service A
))
;; subscribe to service A, events will be sent to the on-a-thing callback
(re-graph/subscribe :service-a ;; the instance-name you want to talk to
:my-subscription-id ;; this id should uniquely identify this subscription for this service
"{ things { a } }"
on-a-thing)
(defn on-b-thing [{:keys [data errors] :as payload}]
;; do things with data from service B
))
;; subscribe to service B, events will be sent to the on-b-thing callback
(re-graph/subscribe :service-b ;; the instance-name you want to talk to
:my-subscription-id
"{ things { b } }"
on-b-thing)
;; stop the subscriptions
(re-graph/unsubscribe :service-a :my-subscription-id)
(re-graph/unsubscribe :service-b :my-subscription-id)When using re-graph within a browser, cookies are shared between HTTP and WebSocket connection automatically. There's nothing special that needs to be done.
When using re-graph with Clojure, however, some configuration is necessary to ensure that the same cookie store is used for both HTTP and WebSocket connections.
Before initializing re-graph, create a common HTTP client.
(ns user
(:require
[hato.client :as hc]
[re-graph.core :as re-graph]))
(def http-client (hc/build-http-client {:cookie-policy :all}))
See the hato documentation for all the supported configuration options.
When initializing re-graph, configure both the HTTP and WebSocket connections with this client:
(re-graph/init {:http {:impl {:http-client http-client}}
:ws {:impl {:http-client http-client}}})
In the call, you can provide any supported re-graph or hato options. Be careful though; hato convenience options for the HTTP client will be ignored when using the :http-client option.
