A small wrapper to automatically dispatch actions in response to apollo mutations

React Apollo Redux

This library wraps the graphql function from react-apollo function by also dispatching redux actions when a mutation is called.

If you were using

import { graphql } from 'react-apollo';

you may now do

import { graphql } from 'react-apollo-redux';

Usage

When a mutation is called, an action bearing the same name (snake and upper cased) and prefixed with @@MUTATION is dispatched. For example, a mutation like this

const FollowItems = gql`
  mutation followItems($itemIds: [ID]!) {
    followItems(item_ids: $itemIds) {
      id,
    },
  }
`;


graphql(FollowItems, {
  name: 'followItems',
}),

Will dispatch the following actions with respective types:

type @@MUTATION/FOLLOW_ITEMS

@@MUTATION/[name] contains the arguments to the mutation in its payload. For example, if the mutation was called this way

followItems({
  variables: {
    itemIds: itemIds,
  },
  extra: {
    user,
    references,
  },
});

The payload will contain that object.

type @@MUTATION/FOLLOW_ITEMS_SUCCESS

@@MUTATION/[name]_SUCCESS is dispatched once the mutation result is successfully returned from the server. The action payload contains two things:

  • The result from the server (as specified in the mutation)
  • The arguments (args) passed to the mutation, like above

type @@MUTATION/FOLLOW_ITEMS_FAIL

@@MUTATION/[name]_FAIL is dispatched if the server returns an error. This action contains the same payload as the initial action @@MUTATION/FOLLOW_ITEMS, and has an additional meta property with the error returned from the server.
