GraphQL Loader for Webpack

npm Version Build Status

Installation

yarn add --dev webpack-graphql-loader # or npm install --save-dev webpack-graphql-loader

You will also need to install a copy of graphql, which is a peer dependency of this package.

yarn add --dev graphql # or npm install --dev graphql

Configuration

Add webpack-graphql-loader to your webpack configuration:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [ // or "loaders" for webpack 1.x
      { test: /\.graphql?$/, loader: 'webpack-graphql-loader' }
    ]
  }
}

Specifying options

You can also pass options to the loader via webpack options:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [ // or "loaders" for webpack 1.x
      {
        test: /\.graphql?$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'webpack-graphql-loader',
            options: {
              // validate: true,
              // schema: "./path/to/schema.json",
              // removeUnusedFragments: true
              // etc. See "Loader Options" below
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Loader Options

schema (string) (default="")

The location of your graphql introspection query schema JSON file. If used with the validate option, this will be used to validate imported queries and fragments.

validate (boolean) (default=false)

If true, the loader will validate the imported document against your specified schema file.

output ("string" | "document") (default="string")

Specifies whether or not the imported document should be a printed graphql string, or a graphql DocumentNode AST. The latter is useful for interop with graphql-tag.

removeUnusedFragments (boolean) (default=false)

If true, the loader will remove unused fragments from the imported document. This may be useful if a query is importing fragments from a file, but does not use all fragments in that file. Also see this issue. See issue below

Import statements in .graphql files

The loader supports importing .graphql files from other .graphql files using an #import statement. For example:

query.graphql:

#import "./fragments.graphql"

query {
  ...a
  ...b
}

fragments.graphql:

fragment a on A {}
fragment b on A {
  foo(bar: 1)
}

In the above example, fragments a and b will be made available within query.graphql. Note that all fragments in the imported file should be used, or the removeUnusedFragments can be used.
