subscriptions-transport-ws
(正在进行中!)
一个 GraphQL WebSocket 服务器和客户端,以促进 GraphQL通过 WebSocket 进行查询、变更和订阅。
subscriptions-transport-ws
是 GraphQL 的扩展,您可以将它与任何 GraphQL 客户端和服务器(不仅是 Apollo)一起使用。
请参阅 GitHunt-API 和 GitHunt -React 用于示例服务器和客户端集成。
Getting Started
首先使用 Yarn 或 NPM 安装包。
Using Yarn:
$ yarn add subscriptions-transport-ws
Or, using NPM:
$ npm install --save subscriptions-transport-ws
请注意,您需要在 GraphQL 客户端和服务器上使用此包。
此命令还会安装此包的依赖项,包括
graphql-subscriptions
。
Server
从服务器开始,创建一个新的简单 PubSub
实例。 我们稍后将使用此 PubSub
来发布和订阅数据更改。
import { PubSub } from 'graphql-subscriptions';
export const pubsub = new PubSub();
现在,使用您的 GraphQL schema
、execute
和 subscribe
创建 SubscriptionServer
实例(来自 graphql-js
包):
import { createServer } from 'http';
import { SubscriptionServer } from 'subscriptions-transport-ws';
import { execute, subscribe } from 'graphql';
import { schema } from './my-schema';
const WS_PORT = 5000;
// Create WebSocket listener server
const websocketServer = createServer((request, response) => {
response.writeHead(404);
response.end();
});
// Bind it to port and start listening
websocketServer.listen(WS_PORT, () => console.log(
`Websocket Server is now running on http://localhost:${WS_PORT}`
));
const subscriptionServer = SubscriptionServer.create(
{
schema,
execute,
subscribe,
},
{
server: websocketServer,
path: '/graphql',
},
);
Creating Your Subscriptions
请参考 graphql-subscriptions
文档了解如何创建您的GraphQL 订阅,以及如何发布数据。
Client (browser)
将此包用于客户端时,您可以选择将 HTTP 请求用于查询和变异并仅将 WebSocket 用于订阅,或者创建一个完整的传输来处理套接字上所有类型的 GraphQL 操作。
Full WebSocket Transport
要从处理所有类型的 GraphQL 操作的完整 WebSocket 传输开始,导入并创建 SubscriptionClient
的实例。
然后,创建您的 ApolloClient
实例并使用 SubscriptionsClient
实例作为网络接口:
import { SubscriptionClient } from 'subscriptions-transport-ws';
import ApolloClient from 'apollo-client';
const GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT = 'ws://localhost:3000/graphql';
const client = new SubscriptionClient(GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT, {
reconnect: true,
});
const apolloClient = new ApolloClient({
networkInterface: client,
});
Hybrid WebSocket Transport
从混合 WebSocket 传输开始,它仅处理 subscription
WebSocket,创建你的 SubscriptionClient
和一个常规的 HTTP 网络接口,然后扩展你的网络接口以使用 WebSocket 客户端进行 GraphQL 订阅:
import {SubscriptionClient, addGraphQLSubscriptions} from 'subscriptions-transport-ws';
import ApolloClient, {createNetworkInterface} from 'apollo-client';
// Create regular NetworkInterface by using apollo-client's API:
const networkInterface = createNetworkInterface({
uri: 'http://localhost:3000' // Your GraphQL endpoint
});
// Create WebSocket client
const wsClient = new SubscriptionClient(`ws://localhost:5000/`, {
reconnect: true,
connectionParams: {
// Pass any arguments you want for initialization
}
});
// Extend the network interface with the WebSocket
const networkInterfaceWithSubscriptions = addGraphQLSubscriptions(
networkInterface,
wsClient
);
// Finally, create your ApolloClient instance with the modified network interface
const apolloClient = new ApolloClient({
networkInterface: networkInterfaceWithSubscriptions
});
现在,当你想在客户端使用订阅时,使用你的 ApolloClient
实例,带有 subscribe
或查询
subscribeToMore
:
apolloClient.subscribe({
query: gql`
subscription onNewItem {
newItemCreated {
id
}
}`,
variables: {}
}).subscribe({
next (data) {
// Notify your application with the new arrived data
}
});
apolloClient.query({
query: ITEM_LIST_QUERY,
variables: {}
}).subscribeToMore({
document: gql`
subscription onNewItem {
newItemCreated {
id
}
}`,
variables: {},
updateQuery: (prev, { subscriptionData, variables }) => {
// Perform updates on previousResult with subscriptionData
return updatedResult;
}
});
如果你不使用任何包/模块加载器,你仍然可以使用这个包,通过使用 unpkg
服务,并从以下位置获取客户端包:
https://unpkg.com/subscriptions-transport-ws@VERSION/browser/client.js
将 VERSION 替换为包的最新版本.
Use it with GraphiQL
您可以将此包的功能与 GraphiQL 结合使用,并在 GraphiQL 中订阅实时数据流。
如果您使用的是最新版本的 graphql-server
风格(graphql-server-express
、graphql-server-koa
等),你已经可以使用它了! 确保在 GraphiQL 配置中指定 subscriptionsEndpoint
,仅此而已!
例如,graphql-server-express
用户需要添加以下内容:
app.use('/graphiql', graphiqlExpress({
endpointURL: '/graphql',
subscriptionsEndpoint: `YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ENDPOINT_HERE`,
}));
如果您使用的是旧版本或其他 GraphQL 服务器,请从修改 GraphiQL 静态 HTML 开始,然后添加此包及其从 CDN 获取的内容:
<script src="//unpkg.com/subscriptions-transport-ws@0.5.4/browser/client.js"></script>
<script src="//unpkg.com/graphiql-subscriptions-fetcher@0.0.2/browser/client.js"></script>
然后,创建 SubscriptionClient
并定义 fetcher:
let subscriptionsClient = new window.SubscriptionsTransportWs.SubscriptionClient('SUBSCRIPTION_WS_URL_HERE', {
reconnect: true
});
let myCustomFetcher = window.GraphiQLSubscriptionsFetcher.graphQLFetcher(subscriptionsClient, graphQLFetcher);
graphQLFetcher
是默认的 fetcher,我们将其用作非订阅 GraphQL 操作的后备。
并替换您的 GraphiQL 创建逻辑以使用新的
ReactDOM.render(
React.createElement(GraphiQL, {
fetcher: myCustomFetcher, // <-- here
onEditQuery: onEditQuery,
onEditVariables: onEditVariables,
onEditOperationName: onEditOperationName,
query: ${safeSerialize(queryString)},
response: ${safeSerialize(resultString)},
variables: ${safeSerialize(variablesString)},
operationName: ${safeSerialize(operationName)},
}),
document.body
);

subscriptions-transport-ws
(Work in progress!)
A GraphQL WebSocket server and client to facilitate GraphQL queries, mutations and subscriptions over WebSocket.
subscriptions-transport-ws
is an extension for GraphQL, and you can use it with any GraphQL client and server (not only Apollo).
See GitHunt-API and GitHunt-React for an example server and client integration.
Getting Started
Start by installing the package, using Yarn or NPM.
Using Yarn:
$ yarn add subscriptions-transport-ws
Or, using NPM:
$ npm install --save subscriptions-transport-ws
Note that you need to use this package on both GraphQL client and server.
This command also installs this package's dependencies, including
graphql-subscriptions
.
Server
Starting with the server, create a new simple PubSub
instance. We will later use this PubSub
to publish and subscribe to data changes.
import { PubSub } from 'graphql-subscriptions';
export const pubsub = new PubSub();
Now, create SubscriptionServer
instance, with your GraphQL schema
, execute
and subscribe
(from graphql-js
package):
import { createServer } from 'http';
import { SubscriptionServer } from 'subscriptions-transport-ws';
import { execute, subscribe } from 'graphql';
import { schema } from './my-schema';
const WS_PORT = 5000;
// Create WebSocket listener server
const websocketServer = createServer((request, response) => {
response.writeHead(404);
response.end();
});
// Bind it to port and start listening
websocketServer.listen(WS_PORT, () => console.log(
`Websocket Server is now running on http://localhost:${WS_PORT}`
));
const subscriptionServer = SubscriptionServer.create(
{
schema,
execute,
subscribe,
},
{
server: websocketServer,
path: '/graphql',
},
);
Creating Your Subscriptions
Please refer to graphql-subscriptions
documentation for how to create your GraphQL subscriptions, and how to publish data.
Client (browser)
When using this package for client side, you can choose either use HTTP request for Queries and Mutation and use the WebSocket for subscriptions only, or create a full transport that handles all type of GraphQL operations over the socket.
Full WebSocket Transport
To start with a full WebSocket transport, that handles all types of GraphQL operations, import and create an instance of SubscriptionClient
.
Then, create your ApolloClient
instance and use the SubscriptionsClient
instance as network interface:
import { SubscriptionClient } from 'subscriptions-transport-ws';
import ApolloClient from 'apollo-client';
const GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT = 'ws://localhost:3000/graphql';
const client = new SubscriptionClient(GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT, {
reconnect: true,
});
const apolloClient = new ApolloClient({
networkInterface: client,
});
Hybrid WebSocket Transport
To start with a hybrid WebSocket transport, that handles only subscription
s over WebSocket, create your SubscriptionClient
and a regular HTTP network interface, then extend your network interface to use the WebSocket client for GraphQL subscriptions:
import {SubscriptionClient, addGraphQLSubscriptions} from 'subscriptions-transport-ws';
import ApolloClient, {createNetworkInterface} from 'apollo-client';
// Create regular NetworkInterface by using apollo-client's API:
const networkInterface = createNetworkInterface({
uri: 'http://localhost:3000' // Your GraphQL endpoint
});
// Create WebSocket client
const wsClient = new SubscriptionClient(`ws://localhost:5000/`, {
reconnect: true,
connectionParams: {
// Pass any arguments you want for initialization
}
});
// Extend the network interface with the WebSocket
const networkInterfaceWithSubscriptions = addGraphQLSubscriptions(
networkInterface,
wsClient
);
// Finally, create your ApolloClient instance with the modified network interface
const apolloClient = new ApolloClient({
networkInterface: networkInterfaceWithSubscriptions
});
Now, when you want to use subscriptions in client side, use your ApolloClient
instance, with subscribe
or query
subscribeToMore
:
apolloClient.subscribe({
query: gql`
subscription onNewItem {
newItemCreated {
id
}
}`,
variables: {}
}).subscribe({
next (data) {
// Notify your application with the new arrived data
}
});
apolloClient.query({
query: ITEM_LIST_QUERY,
variables: {}
}).subscribeToMore({
document: gql`
subscription onNewItem {
newItemCreated {
id
}
}`,
variables: {},
updateQuery: (prev, { subscriptionData, variables }) => {
// Perform updates on previousResult with subscriptionData
return updatedResult;
}
});
If you don't use any package/modules loader, you can still use this package, by using unpkg
service, and get the client side package from:
https://unpkg.com/subscriptions-transport-ws@VERSION/browser/client.js
Replace VERSION with the latest version of the package.
Use it with GraphiQL
You can use this package's power with GraphiQL, and subscribe to live-data stream inside GraphiQL.
If you are using the latest version of graphql-server
flavors (graphql-server-express
, graphql-server-koa
, etc…), you already can use it! Make sure to specify subscriptionsEndpoint
in GraphiQL configuration, and that's it!
For example, graphql-server-express
users need to add the following:
app.use('/graphiql', graphiqlExpress({
endpointURL: '/graphql',
subscriptionsEndpoint: `YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ENDPOINT_HERE`,
}));
If you are using older version, or another GraphQL server, start by modifying GraphiQL static HTML, and add this package and it's fetcher from CDN:
<script src="//unpkg.com/subscriptions-transport-ws@0.5.4/browser/client.js"></script>
<script src="//unpkg.com/graphiql-subscriptions-fetcher@0.0.2/browser/client.js"></script>
Then, create SubscriptionClient
and define the fetcher:
let subscriptionsClient = new window.SubscriptionsTransportWs.SubscriptionClient('SUBSCRIPTION_WS_URL_HERE', {
reconnect: true
});
let myCustomFetcher = window.GraphiQLSubscriptionsFetcher.graphQLFetcher(subscriptionsClient, graphQLFetcher);
graphQLFetcher
is the default fetcher, and we use it as fallback for non-subscription GraphQL operations.
And replace your GraphiQL creation logic to use the new fetcher:
ReactDOM.render(
React.createElement(GraphiQL, {
fetcher: myCustomFetcher, // <-- here
onEditQuery: onEditQuery,
onEditVariables: onEditVariables,
onEditOperationName: onEditOperationName,
query: ${safeSerialize(queryString)},
response: ${safeSerialize(resultString)},
variables: ${safeSerialize(variablesString)},
operationName: ${safeSerialize(operationName)},
}),
document.body
);
