graphql-request VS apollo-client

The aws-sigv4-fetch package can be integrated into GraphQL libraries like graphql-request. For example, you can pass the signedFetch function as the custom fetch option:

For Next.js projects, one of the options can be the typescript-graphql-request plugin. Under the hood this plugin works with the graphql-request library — a minimal, flexible, and easy-to-use GraphQL client. With typescript-graphql-request, we generate an SDK that is fully typed and allowing us to make strongly-typed GraphQL requests. This nicely integrates with data fetching in Next.js Server Components, enabling us to pre-render pages with data from Storyblok.

but i don't want to use that external library

An example of a Snowflake API request using JavaScript. This example uses the graphql-request library to issue the actual GraphQL request. Install the dependency:

I mentioned already we can use just about any client want when fetching GraphQL data. Prisma's graphql-request is a simple and lightweight option, and that is what I’ve used here.

To do this, you will make use of a tool called GraphQL Codegen to generate TypeScript types based on the GraphQL schema Sanity provides. You will then use graphql-request to actually fetch the data.

What about https://github.com/prisma-labs/graphql-request that has 4.8k starts / 254 forks?

If you don't want to use Apollo, I suggest using codegen + graphql-request. There is a codegen plugin for graphql-request that auto generates a typesafe client sdk with all your queries as methods on the graphql-request client. Super clean and lightweight. https://github.com/prisma-labs/graphql-request

Actually, it's worse than that. Next has started throwing errors if it statically detects you even _importing_ hooks inside of a React Server Component environment:

- https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/11167

To the point that Lenz Weber( a maintainer of Apollo Client, and my co-maintainer on Redux Toolkit), is considering resorting to a package that wraps and re-exports all of React's public API just to avoid that static analysis:

Apollo Client (18k ⭐) -> A comprehensive state management library for JavaScript that enables you to manage both local and remote data with GraphQL. Use it to fetch, cache, and modify application data, all while automatically updating your UI.

This currently doesn't work as expected so I have logged this issue in apollo client repo.

I understand this has something to do with the fact, that SvelteKit expects the client and server code to be completely identical - this has already prompted changes to rxjs and apollo is still pending to be fixed. I understand the reason behind being able to run rxjs and apollo on the server but

There is a long-standing issue with error caching (its absence, that is), which leads to errors being rendered as a loading state on the server side. Therefore, if you're doing SSR, you might want to design your schema in such a way that there are no intentional errors in queries whatsoever. To do so, we can use null values instead of NOT_FOUND errors (see how we essentially treated errors as data here?). Note how nothing stops us from setting the response code to 404 in case of a null value, should we want so.

Lol apollo client too.. saw this issue opened like, immediately after the release https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/10231

There were some caching issues, outlined here https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/6916 to be aware of

If you look at how major backend projects structure their code, it's almost always object-oriented TypeScript.

I submit for the record:
