Persisted queries showcase

Introduction

This project has for purpose to reproduce a problem that affected us while implementing persisted queries with the current tooling that is provided by apollo.

We need two things to implement persisted queries:

  • Generate a list of all queries of the app, with a hash of these queries
  • Apollo client should send the hash instead of the query at run time

Generate a list of all queries of the app, with a hash of these queries

We used apollo-tooling. We can extract the queries from this repository by running

npm run queries:extract

This will run the script apollo client:extract extracted-queries.json and generate the file extracted-queries.json

Apollo client should send the hash instead of the query at run time

This is done by adding apollo-link-persisted-queries to apollo client. You can see the result by visiting the deployed app. Look in the Network tab of devtools, in the bottom of the Headers tab you will find the hash in the Request Payload object.

The problem

The hash generated by apollo-link-persisted-queries is different from the one generated by apollo-tooling.

At time of writing, I get 14ac5ae57bd5679435b8e80f00e57c054e2ecaf7034b97e45adf6830c731afbb in the browser, and 638a6e757933d0e452d6bcf2e9745b4fb4082744b54c19ca094d09862c56a593 in my extracted queries.

Notes

We tried to use the nearly deprecated persistgraphql to pack the queries, but we found out that it does not add __typename to the queries, and apollo-client needs that data in the response.

Create react app documentation

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

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.
