Loading .graphql Files

To load .gql and .graphql files, first install the graphql and graphql.macro packages by running:

npm install --save graphql graphql.macro

Alternatively you may use yarn:

yarn add graphql graphql.macro

Then, whenever you want to load .gql or .graphql files, import the loader from the macro package:

import{ loader }from'graphql.macro';

const query =loader('./foo.graphql');

And your results get automatically inlined! This means that if the file above, foo.graphql, contains the following:

query{
 hello {
 world
}
}

The previous example turns into:

const query ={
'kind':'Document',
'definitions':[{
...
}],
'loc':{
...
'source':{
'body':'\\\\n query {\\\\n hello {\\\\n world\\\\n }\\\\n }\\\\n',
'name':'GraphQL request',
...
}
}
};

You can also use the gql template tag the same way you would use the non-macro version from graphql-tag package with the added benefit of inlined parsing results.

import{ gql }from'graphql.macro';

const query = gql`
 query User {
 user(id: 5) {
 lastName
 ...UserEntry1
 }
 }
`;
