Features

  • GraphQL query abstraction and caching improving the performance of your app
  • SSR React wrapper, allowing you to cache in browser
  • Configurable caching options, giving you complete control over your cache
  • Fullstack integration, leveraging client-side and server-side caching to streamline your caching strategy
  • Support for the full GraphQL convention
  • Support for client-side and server-side cache invalidation
  • Optional GraphQL DoS attack mitigation security module

Overview

Obsidian is Deno’s first native GraphQL caching client and server module. Boasting lightning-fast caching and fetching capabilities alongside headlining normalization and rebuilding strategies, Obsidian is equipped to support scalable, highly performant applications.

With additional support for use in server-side rendered React apps built with Deno, full stack integration of Obsidian enables a fast and flexible caching solution.

Installation

QUICK START

Creating the Router

import { Application, Router } from 'https://deno.land/x/oak@v6.0.1/mod.ts';
import { ObsidianRouter, gql } from 'https://deno.land/x/obsidian/mod.ts';
import { resolvers } from './ import from your resolvers file'
import { types } from './ import your schema/types from schema/types file'


interface ObsRouter extends Router {
  obsidianSchema?: any;
}

const GraphQLRouter = await ObsidianRouter<ObsRouter>({
  Router,
  typeDefs: types,
  resolvers: resolvers,   
  redisPort: 6379,        //Desired redis port
  useCache: true,         //Boolean to toggle all cache functionality
  usePlayground: true,    //Boolean to allow for graphQL playground
  useQueryCache: true,    //Boolean to toogle full query cache
  useRebuildCache: true,  //Boolean to toggle rebuilding from normalized data
  customIdentifier: ["id", "__typename"]  
        
});

// attach the graphql routers routes to our app
  app.use(GraphQLRouter.routes(), GraphQLRouter.allowedMethods());

Creating the Wrapper

import { ObsidianWrapper } from 'https://deno.land/x/obsidian/clientMod.ts';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <ObsidianWrapper>
      <MovieApp />
    </ObsidianWrapper>
  );
};

Making a Query

import { useObsidian, BrowserCache } from 'https://deno.land/x/obsidian/clientMod.ts';

const MovieApp = () => {
  const { query, cache, setCache } = useObsidian();
  const [movies, setMovies] = (React as any).useState('');

  const queryStr = `query {
      movies {
        id
        title
        releaseYear
        genre
      }
    }
  `;

  return (
    <h1>{movies}</h1>
    <button
      onClick={() => {
        query(queryStr)
        .then(resp => setMovies(resp.data))
        .then(resp => setCache(new BrowserCache(cache.storage)))
      }}
    >Get Movies</button>
  );
};

Making a Mutation

import { useObsidian, BrowserCache } from 'https://deno.land/x/obsidian/clientMod.ts';

const MovieApp = () => {
  const { mutate, cache, setCache } = useObsidian();
  const [movies, setMovies] = (React as any).useState('');

  const queryStr = `mutation {
    addMovie(input: {title: "Cruel Intentions", releaseYear: 1999, genre: "DRAMA" }) {
      id
      title
      releaseYear
      genre
    }
  }
  `;

  return (
    <h1>{movies}</h1>
    <button
      onClick={() => {
        mutate(queryStr)
        .then(resp => setMovies(resp.data))
        .then(resp => setCache(new BrowserCache(cache.storage)))
      }}
    >Get Movies</button>
  );
}
