View Source Using with JavaScript

You can interact with an Absinthe GraphQL server via HTTP (thanks to absinthe_plug) and websockets (thanks to absinthe_phoenix):

We also have special support for configuring and working with specific JavaScript frameworks. You can see the guides here:

over-http

Over HTTP

To integrate a JavaScript application via HTTP, any standard GraphQL HTTP request (GET/POST) will do.

Here's an example using isomorphic-fetch:

require('isomorphic-fetch');

fetch('http://localhost:4000/graphql', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ query: '{ posts { title } }' }),
})
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(res => console.log(res.data));

over-websockets

Over Websockets

See the @absinthe/socket NPM package for special support for Absinthe's use of Phoenix channels for GraphQL over websockets, including support for subscriptions.
