vite-plugin-vue-gql

⚠️ This Plugin is still in Development

This plugin allows you to use gql blocks in your Vue SFC with Vitejs

⚠️ This plugin currently only works with the <script setup> format

Install

Install the pacakge

npm install -D vite-plugin-vue-gql

Install peer dependencies

npm install --save @urql/vue graphql

Add to your vite.config.js

import Vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';
import Vql from 'vite-plugin-vue-gql';

export default {
  plugins: [Vue(), Vql()],
};

Usage

// main.js

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import urql from '@urql/vue'
import App from './App.vue'

const app = createApp(App)

app.use(urql, { url: 'http://localhost:3000/graphql' })
app.mount('#app')

<!-- ExampleComponent.vue -->

<script setup>
import { useQuery } from 'vite-gql'

const { fetching, error, data } = useQuery({ name: 'Evan' })
</script>

<template>
  <div v-if="fetching">
    Loading...
  </div>
  <div v-else-if="error.message">
    Error {{ error.message }}
  </div>
  <div v-else>
    <img :src="data.user.avatar">
    <span>{{ data.user.username }}</span>
  </div>
</template>

<gql>
query($name: String!) {
  user(name: $name) {
    username
    avatar
    bio {
      description
    }
  }
}
</gql>

How it Works

When you create a <gql> tag, this plugin will pick that up and automatically inject it into your useFetch statement, allowing you to keep your query and your code seperate.

Roadmap

• Support useMutation and useSubscription
• Support multiple named gql tags(or allow them to be tagged as mutations or subscriptions)
• Look into auto detecting used properties and auto-generating a GQL request
