Installation

Install with:

npm install --save graphql ra-data-graphql-amplication

or

yarn add graphql ra-data-graphql-amplication

Usage

The ra-data-graphql-amplication package exposes a single function, which is a constructor for a dataProvider based on a GraphQL endpoint. When executed, this function calls the GraphQL endpoint, running an introspection query. It uses the result of this query (the GraphQL schema) to automatically configure the dataProvider accordingly.

// in graphqlDataProvider.ts
import buildGraphQLProvider from 'ra-data-graphql-amplication';
import { ApolloClient } from 'apollo-client';
import { createHttpLink } from 'apollo-link-http';
import { setContext } from 'apollo-link-context';
import { InMemoryCache } from 'apollo-cache-inmemory';

const httpLink = createHttpLink({
  //@todo: get the url from a configuration file
  uri: 'http://localhost:3000/graphql',
});

const authLink = setContext((_, { headers }) => {
  //@todo: get the authentication token from local storage
  const token = 'YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=';
  return {
    headers: {
      ...headers,
      authorization: token ? `Basic ${token}` : '',
    },
  };
});

const apolloClient = new ApolloClient({
  cache: new InMemoryCache(),
  link: authLink.concat(httpLink),
});

export default buildGraphQLProvider({
  client: apolloClient,
});

//in app.tsx
import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { Admin, DataProvider, Resource } from 'react-admin';

import buildGraphQLProvider from './graphqlDataProvider';
import basicHttpAuthProvider from './auth-provider/ra-auth-basic-http';

import './App.css';
import Dashboard from './pages/Dashboard';

import { UserList } from './User/UserList';
import { UserEdit } from './User/UserEdit';
import { UserCreate } from './User/UserCreate';

function App() {
  const [dataProvider, setDataProvider] = useState<DataProvider | null>(null);
  useEffect(() => {
    buildGraphQLProvider
      .then((provider) => {
        setDataProvider(() => provider);
      })
      .catch((error: any) => {
        console.log(error);
      });
  }, []);
  if (!dataProvider) {
    return <div>Loading</div>;
  }
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <Admin
        title="My Admin"
        dataProvider={dataProvider}
        authProvider={basicHttpAuthProvider}
        dashboard={Dashboard}
      >
        <Resource
          name="User"
          list={UserList}
          edit={UserEdit}
          create={UserCreate}
        />
      </Admin>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Expected GraphQL Schema

The ra-data-graphql-amplication function works against GraphQL servers that was generated with Amplication, or respects its grammar.

Options

Customize the Apollo client

You can either supply the client options by calling buildGraphQLProvider like this:

buildGraphQLProvider({
  clientOptions: { uri: 'http://localhost:4000', ...otherApolloOptions },
});

Or supply your client directly with:

buildGraphQLProvider({ client: myClient });
