View Source AbsintheClient (absinthe_client v0.1.1)
A Req
plugin for GraphQL, designed for Absinthe
.
AbsintheClient makes it easy to perform GraphQL operations. It supports JSON encoded POST requests for queries and mutations and Absinthe subscriptions over Phoenix Channels (WebSocket).

options
Options
Request options:
:graphql
- Required. The GraphQL operation to execute. It can be a string or a{query, variables}
tuple, wherevariables
is a map of input values to be sent with the document. The document must contain only a single GraphQL operation.
WebSocket options:
:web_socket
- Optional. The name of a WebSocket process to perform the operation, usually started byAbsintheClient.WebSocket.connect/1
. Refer to the Subscriptions section for more information.:receive_timeout
- Optional. The maximum time (in milliseconds) to wait for the WebSocket server to reply. The default value is15_000
.:async
- Optional. When set totrue
, AbsintheClient will return the Response without waiting for a reply from the WebSocket server. This option only applies when the:web_socket
option is present. The response body will be areference()
and you will need to receive theAbsintheClient.WebSocket.Reply
message. The default value isfalse
.:connect_params
- Optional. Custom params to be sent when the WebSocket connects. Defaults to sending the bearer Authorization token if one is present on the request. The default value isnil
.
If you want to set any of these options when attaching the plugin, pass them as the second argument.
examples
Examples
Performing a query
operation:
iex> req = Req.new(base_url: "https://rickandmortyapi.com") |> AbsintheClient.attach()
iex> Req.post!(req,
...> graphql: """
...> query {
...> character(id: 1) {
...> name
...> location { name }
...> }
...> }
...> """
...> ).body["data"]
%{
"character" => %{
"name" => "Rick Sanchez",
"location" => %{
"name" => "Citadel of Ricks"
}
}
}
Performing a query
operation with variables:
iex> req = Req.new(base_url: "https://rickandmortyapi.com") |> AbsintheClient.attach()
iex> Req.post!(req,
...> graphql: {
...> """
...> query ($name: String!) {
...> characters(filter: {name: $name}) {
...> results {
...> name
...> }
...> }
...> }
...> """,
...> %{name: "Cronenberg"}
...> }
...> ).body["data"]
%{
"characters" => %{
"results" => [
%{"name" => "Cronenberg Rick"},
%{"name" => "Cronenberg Morty"}
]
}
}
Performing a mutation
operation and overriding the default path:
iex> req = Req.new(base_url: "https://graphqlzero.almansi.me") |> AbsintheClient.attach()
iex> Req.post!(
...> req,
...> url: "/api",
...> graphql: {
...> """
...> mutation ($input: CreatePostInput!) {
...> createPost(input: $input) {
...> body
...> title
...> }
...> }
...> """,
...> %{
...> "input" => %{
...> "title" => "My New Post",
...> "body" => "This is the post body."
...> }
...> }
...> }
...> ).body["data"]
%{
"createPost" => %{
"body" => "This is the post body.",
"title" => "My New Post"
}
}
subscriptions
Subscriptions
GraphQL subscriptions are long-running, stateful operations that can change their result over time. Clients connect to the server via the WebSocket protocol and the server will periodically push updates to the client when their subscription data changes.
Absinthe required!
AbsintheClient works with servers running Absinthe subscriptions over Phoenix Channels.
Performing a subscription
operation:
iex> req = Req.new(base_url: "http://localhost:4002") |> AbsintheClient.attach()
iex> ws = req |> AbsintheClient.WebSocket.connect!()
iex> Req.request!(req,
...> web_socket: ws,
...> graphql: {
...> """
...> subscription ($repository: Repository!) {
...> repoCommentSubscribe(repository: $repository) {
...> id
...> commentary
...> }
...> }
...> """,
...> %{"repository" => "ELIXIR"}
...> }
...> ).body.__struct__
AbsintheClient.Subscription
Performing an asynchronous subscription
operation and awaiting the reply:
iex> req = Req.new(base_url: "http://localhost:4002") |> AbsintheClient.attach()
iex> ws = req |> AbsintheClient.WebSocket.connect!()
iex> res = Req.request!(req,
...> web_socket: ws,
...> async: true,
...> graphql: {
...> """
...> subscription ($repository: Repository!) {
...> repoCommentSubscribe(repository: $repository) {
...> id
...> commentary
...> }
...> }
...> """,
...> %{"repository" => "ELIXIR"}
...> }
...> )
iex> AbsintheClient.WebSocket.await_reply!(res).payload.__struct__
AbsintheClient.Subscription
Authorization via the request :auth
option:
iex> req = Req.new(base_url: "http://localhost:4002/", auth: {:bearer, "valid-token"}) |> AbsintheClient.attach()
iex> ws = req |> AbsintheClient.WebSocket.connect!(url: "/auth-socket/websocket")
iex> res = Req.request!(req,
...> web_socket: ws,
...> async: true,
...> graphql: {
...> """
...> subscription ($repository: Repository!) {
...> repoCommentSubscribe(repository: $repository) {
...> id
...> commentary
...> }
...> }
...> """,
...> %{"repository" => "ELIXIR"}
...> }
...> )
iex> AbsintheClient.WebSocket.await_reply!(res).payload.__struct__
AbsintheClient.Subscription
Custom authorization via :connect_params
map literal:
iex> req =
...> Req.new(base_url: "http://localhost:4002/")
...> |> AbsintheClient.attach(connect_params: %{"token" => "valid-token"})
iex> ws = req |> AbsintheClient.WebSocket.connect!(url: "/auth-socket/websocket")
iex> res = Req.request!(req,
...> web_socket: ws,
...> async: true,
...> graphql: {
...> """
...> subscription ($repository: Repository!) {
...> repoCommentSubscribe(repository: $repository) {
...> id
...> commentary
...> }
...> }
...> """,
...> %{"repository" => "ELIXIR"}
...> }
...> )
iex> AbsintheClient.WebSocket.await_reply!(res).payload.__struct__
AbsintheClient.Subscription
Failed authorization replies will timeout:
iex> req =
...> Req.new(base_url: "http://localhost:4002/", auth: {:bearer, "invalid-token"})
...> |> AbsintheClient.attach(retry: false)
iex> ws = req |> AbsintheClient.WebSocket.connect!(url: "/auth-socket/websocket")
iex> res = Req.request!(req,
...> web_socket: ws,
...> async: true,
...> graphql: {
...> """
...> subscription ($repository: Repository!) {
...> repoCommentSubscribe(repository: $repository) {
...> id
...> commentary
...> }
...> }
...> """,
...> %{"repository" => "ELIXIR"}
...> }
...> )
iex> AbsintheClient.WebSocket.await_reply!(res).payload.__struct__
** (RuntimeError) timeout
subscription-data
Subscription data
Results will be sent to the caller as
WebSocket.Message
structs.
In a GenServer for instance, you would implement a
handle_info/2
callback:
@impl GenServer
def handle_info(%AbsintheClient.WebSocket.Message{event: "subscription:data", payload: payload}, state) do
case payload["result"] do
%{"errors" => errors} ->
raise "Received result with errors, got: #{inspect(result["errors"])}"
%{"data" => data} ->
text = get_in(result, ~w(data repoCommentSubscribe commentary))
IO.puts("Received a new comment: #{text}")
end
{:noreply, state}
end
