Features

  • (New!) Server-side cache invalidation only on affected entries
  • (New!) Flexible cache responds with only data requested from selected fields
  • (New!) Developer tool for Obsidian is now updated to Manifest version 3 and invalid Bootstrap module imports were also fixed along with CodeMirror dependencies
  • 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'],
    mutationTableMap = {}, //Object where keys are add mutation types and value is an array of affected tables (e.g. {addPlants: ['plants'], addMovie: ['movies']})
  };

// 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>
  );
}
