HTTP Exchange
Send GraphQL operations to a server over HTTP.
Basic Usage
typescript
import { createClient, httpExchange } from '@mearie/react'; // or @mearie/vue, @mearie/svelte, @mearie/solid
import { schema } from '$mearie';
export const client = createClient({
schema,
exchanges: [httpExchange({ url: 'https://api.example.com/graphql' })],
});Terminating Exchange
HTTP Exchange is a terminating exchange - it must be the last exchange in your chain (or one of the last if you have multiple terminating exchanges).
Configuration
URL
Specify the GraphQL endpoint:
typescript
import { schema } from '$mearie';
export const client = createClient({
schema,
exchanges: [httpExchange({ url: 'https://api.example.com/graphql' })],
});Headers
Add custom headers to all requests:
typescript
import { schema } from '$mearie';
export const client = createClient({
schema,
exchanges: [
httpExchange({
url: 'https://api.example.com/graphql',
headers: {
'X-Client-Name': 'mearie',
'X-Client-Version': '1.0.0',
},
}),
],
});Credentials
Control cookie/credential behavior:
typescript
import { schema } from '$mearie';
export const client = createClient({
schema,
exchanges: [
httpExchange({
url: 'https://api.example.com/graphql',
credentials: 'include', // 'omit' | 'same-origin' | 'include'
}),
],
});Common Patterns
Request Cancellation
Cancel requests using AbortController:
typescript
const controller = new AbortController();
client.query(GetUserQuery, { id: '1' }, { signal: controller.signal });
// Cancel the request
controller.abort();Exchange Chain Placement
Place httpExchange at the end of your chain:
typescript
import { schema } from '$mearie';
export const client = createClient({
schema,
exchanges: [
dedupExchange(),
retryExchange(),
cacheExchange(),
httpExchange({ url: 'https://api.example.com/graphql' }), // Last
],
});This ensures all non-terminating exchanges execute before the network request.
