apollo-angular-link-http-batch v1.9.0

HTTP Link

Purpose

An Apollo Link to combine multiple GraphQL operations into single HTTP request.

Installation

npm install apollo-angular-link-http-batch --save

Usage

import {
  HttpBatchLinkModule,
  HttpBatchLink,
} from 'apollo-angular-link-http-batch';

@NgModule({
  imports: [HttpBatchLinkModule],
})
class AppModule {
  constructor(httpLink: HttpBatchLink) {
    const link = httpLink.create({uri: '/graphql'});
  }
}

HttpClient

The HTTP Link relies on having HttpClient (from @angular/common/http) present in your application.

Options

Accepts the same options as apollo-angular-link-http.

BatchOptions

The batching options indicate how operations are batched together.

• batchInterval - the maximum time a batch will wait before automatically being sent over the network
• batchMax - the size of batches
• batchKey a function that accepts an operation and returns a string key, which uniquely names the batch the operation belongs to, defaults to returning the same string.

NOTICE: batchKey by default batches together requests with the same uri and the same options. Since options from an operation's context overwrites those from a link you could end up with few differents keys and what it means, few separate requests.

Context

Works in the same way as in apollo-angular-link-http.

To skip batching you can set skipBatching: true in operation's context.

NOTICE: skipBatching works only with the default batchKey. To create custom one you should check if skipBatching is set in context and generate a random batchKey for that operation.
