JS utilities for AJAX and GraphQL
npm install rip-hunter#### JS utilities for GraphQL
RipHunter is a small utility to parse objects formatted for GraphQL requests as well as use fetch to send query and
mutation requests, returning a promise. Some helpers include sending an authorization token as well as custom headers.





Using npm:
$ npm install rip-hunter
###App Usage
Then with a module bundler like webpack that supports either CommonJS or ES2015 modules, use as you would anything else:
``js`
import {Hunter} from 'rip-hunter';
Example:
`js
import {Hunter} from 'rip-hunter';
const AppActions = {
getData: () => {
// Variables
const url = 'http://www.example.com/graphql';
const gql = '{ app { ping } }';
// Query data
return Hunter.query(url, gql)
.then(results => {
console.log(results);
// Assuming the results will return the JSON object, {status: 'ok'}
// Output: {status: 'ok'}
})
.catch(error => {
// ApiError will be returned if any problems occur.
});
},
updateData: () => {
// Variables
const url = 'http://www.example.com/graphql';
const data = {hello: 'world'};
const gql = { user { update(data: ${Hunter.toGQL(data)}) } };
// Mutate data
return Hunter.mutation(url, gql)
.then(results => {
console.log(results);
// Assuming the results will return the JSON object, {id: 'test', hello: 'world'}
// Output: {id: 'test', hello: 'world'}
})
.catch(error => {
// ApiError will be returned if any problems occur.
});
}
}
