GraphiQL Desktop v5.2.2

GraphiQL Desktop v5.2.2

Major upgrade aligning with GraphiQL core v5.

What's New

• GraphiQL v5 + Monaco Editor — Upgraded from GraphiQL v3 (CodeMirror) to v5 (Monaco), with full GraphQL language support, autocomplete, and syntax highlighting
• Global Settings Panel — Theme (system/light/dark) and inner settings visibility are now global, accessible from the tab bar gear icon
• Drag-and-Drop Tabs — Reorder endpoint tabs by dragging, plus double-click to rename
• Close Confirmation — Non-empty tabs prompt for confirmation before closing
• Header Inheritance — New inner query tabs automatically inherit headers from the previous tab
• Query History Plugin — Built-in query history now enabled

Critical Fix

• Data Persistence — Fixed a critical issue where all user data (tabs, queries, headers) was lost on app quit. Chromium's localStorage in Electron does not reliably flush to disk. Replaced with file-backed IPC persistence (tabs-data.json in app userData directory) that guarantees data survives across restarts.
