GraphQL client for apps using Parse Server

When to use

• you are using Parse SDK (web or mobile) coupled with Parse Server
• you are using GraphQL
• you want to make sure your GraphQL queries are authenticated using Parse authentication
• [Recommended] you are also uing parse-graphql-server package

Quick start

Install parse-graphql-client and make sure Parse JavaScript SDK is installed and configured

npm install --save parse-graphql-client parse

Create and configure and instance of GraphQLClient.

Note: GraphQLClient expects you to specify which Parse module to use. Example below uses a React Native version of Parse. If you are using GraphQLClient in a node environment, you would use require('parse/node'), while a browser based app would call for require('parse')

import GraphQLClient from 'parse-graphql-client';

const client = new GraphQLClient(settings.graphqlURL, require('parse/react-native'));

client.query(`
  {
    todos {
      id, text, isComplete
    }
  }
`).then(result => {
  console.log(result.todos);
});

return client.mutate(`
  {
    newTodo: addTodo(text:"buy milk") {
      id, text, isComplete
    }
  }
`).then(result => {
  console.log(result.newTodo);
});

All resulting requests to your GraphQL server will arrive with Authorization header set to current Parse session token. You can either take it from there, or use parse-graphql-server package to automate this even further.
