The highly customizable and versatile GraphQL client with which you add on features like normalized caching as you grow.

A highly customisable and versatile GraphQL client

✨ Features

• 📦 One package to get a working GraphQL client in React, Preact, and Svelte
• ⚙️ Fully customisable behaviour via "exchanges"
• 🗂 Logical but simple default behaviour and document caching
• 🌱 Normalized caching via @urql/exchange-graphcache
• 🔬 Easy debugging with the urql devtools browser extensions

urql is a GraphQL client that exposes a set of helpers for several frameworks. It's built to be highly customisable and versatile so you can take it from getting started with your first GraphQL project all the way to building complex apps and experimenting with GraphQL clients.

While GraphQL is an elegant protocol and schema language, client libraries today typically come with large API footprints. We aim to create something more lightweight instead.

Installation

yarn add urql graphql
# or
npm install --save urql graphql
