Content Delivery API

Query batching

June 12th, 2018

We just enabled query batching support to our GraphQL Content Delivery API.

This means you can combine multiple GraphQL operations into a single HTTP request, reducing HTTP overheads. If you use Apollo Client, you can enable batch queries with the apollo-link-batch-http package:

1
import { ApolloClient } from 'apollo-client';
2
import { setContext } from 'apollo-link-context';
3
import { InMemoryCache } from 'apollo-cache-inmemory';
4
import { BatchHttpLink } from 'apollo-link-batch-http';

6
const httpLink = new BatchHttpLink({
7
  uri: 'https://graphql.datocms.com/',
8
});

10
const authLink = setContext((_, { headers }) => {
11
  return {
12
    headers: {
13
      ...headers,
14
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.DATO_API_TOKEN}`,
15
    }
16
  }
17
});
18

const client = new ApolloClient({
20
  link: authLink.concat(httpLink),
21
  cache: new InMemoryCache(),
22
});

export default client;
