<script>
// src/routes/items/+page.svelte
import { graphql } from '$houdini'
const AllItems = graphql(`
query AllItems @load {
items {
text
}
}
`)
</script>
{#each $AllItems.data.items as item}
<div>{item.text}</div>
{/each}- Composable and colocated data requirements for your components
- Normalized cache with declarative updates
- Generated types
- Subscriptions
- Pagination (cursors and offsets)
At its core, houdini seeks to enable a high quality developer experience without compromising bundle size. Like Svelte, houdini shifts what is traditionally handled by a bloated runtime into a compile step that allows for the generation of an incredibly lean GraphQL abstraction for your application.
For a detailed example, you can check out the example-sveltekit-todo or the final version of the Pokédex application from the Getting Started guide.
For documentation, please visit the api reference on the website.
For an in-depth guide to getting started with Houdini, check out the guide on our website.
