Overview

The graphql-codegen-plugin-typescript-swr is a powerful tool designed for developers working with GraphQL and the SWR (stale-while-revalidate) data-fetching strategy. This plugin simplifies the integration of GraphQL queries with SWR by automatically generating utility functions, reducing boilerplate code and enhancing the overall development efficiency. Ideal for projects that utilize TypeScript, it streamlines the process, making it easier to manage data-fetching logic while benefiting from strong typing.

This plugin stands out due to its features designed explicitly for enhancing productivity in Next.js and other React-based applications. By handling various query-related options and providing convenient configurations, it empowers developers to take full advantage of GraphQL in modern web applications.

Features

• Exclude Queries: Allows you to filter out specific queries from being fetched by using micromatch patterns, giving you better control over data-fetching behavior.

• Infinite Scrolling Support: Implements the useSWRInfinite() hook for queries matched by micromatch, making it easier to manage paginated data scenarios in applications.

• Automatic SWR Key Generation: Generates keys for the useSWR() hook automatically, which helps streamline the setup process, although it requires careful handling of cache and variable structures.

• Type Safety: Provides fully-typed SDK based on your GraphQL operations, ensuring that your data interactions are strongly typed, which can significantly reduce runtime errors.

• Custom Configuration: Supports various configuration options that enable fine-tuning of the generation process to better fit the unique requirements of your project.

• Integration with Next.js: Specifically designed to work seamlessly with Next.js, allowing developers to leverage server-side rendering capabilities alongside efficient client-side data fetching.

• Pagination Handling: Simplifies the management of paginated data, making the development of infinite scrolling UIs straightforward and efficient.
