This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

STEPS to consume GraphQl Apis in React App

1 - The following packages needs to be installed

• apollo-boost: Package containing everything you need to set up Apollo Client
• react-apollo: View layer integration for React
• graphql-tag: Necessary for parsing your GraphQL queries
• graphql: Also parses your GraphQL queries

$ npm install apollo-boost react-apollo graphql-tag graphql

2 - Creating An Instance Of ApolloClient

In order to be able to access a GraphQL service from our React application we need to create an instance of ApolloClient first. This is done in App.js by adding the following code:

3 - Connecting ApolloClient To Your React App

Having established a connection to the GraphQL endpoint by using ApolloClient we now need to connect the instance of ApolloClient to the React app. To do so, please make sure to add the following lines of code in App.js:

4 - Using Query Component To Request Data

To retrieve data from the GraphQL endpoint this component makes use of another component from the React Apollo library: Query. The Query component makes it extremely easy to embed the GraphQL query directly in the JSX code of the component. Furthermore the Query component contains a callback method which is invoked once the GraphQL query is executed.

Query example :

<Query
    query={gql`
      {
        allCourses {
          id
          title
          author
          description
          topic
          url
        }
      }
    `}

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
