ar-gql


> A JavaScript/TypeScript package that makes interaction with the Arweave GraphQL endpoint simple and easy.

Installation

``sh
# npm
npm i ar-gql


yarn


yarn add ar-gql
`

> ## Migrating from previous versions to v3
> - Functions are no longer directly imported. You need to import an ArGqlInterface object and create instanced from it. See Code Set Up section below
> - Errors have changed again (sorry!). GQLError is supplied and you can use it's type definition.
> `ts
> import { GQLError } from 'ar-gql/dist/faces'
> `

Code Set Up

`ts
import { arGql, GQLUrls } from 'ar-gql'

//...

const argql = arGql() // default is https://arweave.net/graphql.

// you can now use argql similar to as before and it will make requests to the default GQL endpoint
const tx = await argql.tx('DeYQPjoEQLLds7usOMZFJFCe7VyTpodYl6Mok6UP6Z4')
console.log(tx.id) // 'DeYQPjoEQLLds7usOMZFJFCe7VyTpodYl6Mok6UP6Z4'

// you can set up another instance with another endpoint
const goldsky = arGql({ endpointUrl: GQLUrls.goldsky }) // 'https://arweave-search.goldsky.com/graphql'
// and use it at the same time
const edges = await goldsky.tx(someTxid)

//...

Functions

$3

The run function receives as input a required GraphQL query (compatible with the Arweave GraphQL endpoint) and an optional object of GraphQL variables for the query.

The function returns the result of this query with the variables passed in, if any, returned by the Arweave GraphQL endpoint.

$3

Similar to the run function, the all function receives a query and optional variables.

The one key difference is that it returns all possible transactions returned from running this query. As the Arweave GraphQL endpoint is paginated, this returns all the data by traversing through the pages.

Your query must follow the template shown below:

`
query($cursor: String) {
transactions(
# your query parameters

# standard template below
after: $cursor
first: 100
) {
pageInfo {
hasNextPage
}
edges {
cursor
node {
# what tx data you want to query for:

}
}
}
}
`

The optional pageCallback feature is a convenience function to process pages as they are returned. The page results are processed asynchronously, and the function all returns after all callback functions have completed internally.
> N.B When a callback function is used, all returns an empty edges array once all page callbacks are complete [].

$3

The tx function recieves as an input a valid Arweave transaction id. The function will then return all metadata information about the transaction that the GraphQL endpoint supports.

$3

This function will fetch all tags for the supplied transaction. Then, if it finds a tag with the name provided, it will return the tag value. Else, it will return undefined`.

$3

A read-only property of the GQL endpoint URL of the instance.
