Fp-ts-graphql-ws-client NPM

(WIP!) fp-ts-graphql-ws-client

A GraphQL WebSocket client to facilitate GraphQL queries, mutations, and subscriptions over WebSocket. Built on top of the fp-ts ecosystem.

Getting Started

Start by installing the package, using Yarn or NPM.

Using Yarn:
$ yarn add fp-ts-graphql-ws-client

Or, using NPM:
$ npm install --save fp-ts-graphql-ws-client

> This package depends on `fp-ts` and `retry-policy`

Client

import { getGraphqlClient } from 'fp-ts-graphql-ws-client/lib/client';

const CLIENT_CONFIG = {
 webSocketConstructor: WebSocket,
 url: 'ws://localhost:4000/graphql'
 inactivityTimeout: 35000 // in milliseconds, should be longer than frequency at which server sends keep alive messages, typically 30000ms
 // ... additional parameters for retryPolicy, eventListeners, connectionParams, and protocols beyond 'graphql-ws'
}

export const GRAPHQL_CLIENT = getGraphqlClient(CLIENT_CONFIG);

getGraphqlClient returns an object with three functions: mutate, query, and subscribe.

mutate and query return TaskEither<ClientError, TData> where TData is the shape of the data expected from the server. fp-ts-graphql-ws-client does not provide any type of data validation. See the very awesome https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts, also part of the fp-ts ecosystem, if you are interested in runtime type checking.

subscribe returns a TaskEither<ClientError, Observable<TData>> which provides the ability to subscribe to server sent messages.
