Setup

Step 1: Install

Install the module using your preferred package manager.

npm install --save nuxt-graphql-middleware

Step 2: Configure

Add the module to your Nuxt config and provide the basic configuration.

// ./nuxt.config.ts
import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['nuxt-graphql-middleware'],

  graphqlMiddleware: {
    graphqlEndpoint: 'https://example.com/graphql',
  },
})

Step 3: Write a query

Write your first query and save it wherever you like. By default all *.graphql or *.gql files in your app (excluding node_modules) are auto-imported.

Let's name the query films. The file name is not relevant.

# ./pages/films.query.graphql
query films {
  allFilms {
    films {
      ...film
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Use the query

Your query is now available under the following URL:

http://localhost:3000/api/graphql_middleware/query/films

useGraphqlQuery

The module provides a composable for easy querying. Arguments and return values are fully typed.

const { data } = await useGraphqlQuery('films')
console.log(data.allFilms.films)

useFetch/$fetch

If you wish, you can also use Nuxt's built-in useFetch composable:

const { data } = await useFetch('/api/graphql_middleware/films')
console.log(data.data.allFilms.films)
