How to resolve custom nested graphql query with Apollo CacheRedirects - apollo

We are using apollo-client in a react project. We made a cursor level on top of any list queries. For example:
query MediaList($mediaIds: [ID!], $type: [MediaType!], $userId: ID!) {
user {
id
medias_cursor(all_medias: true, active: true, ids: $mediaIds) {
medias {
id
type
category
name
}
}
}
}
Now for different MediaList query, the Media Objects might already exist in cache but we can not use it to skip network query. For example:
After we query medias_cursor({"all_medias":true,"active":true,"ids":["361","362","363"]}),
we've already got the three Media objects here - (Media:361, Media:362, Media:363).
So when we try to query medias_cursor({"all_medias":true,"active":true,"ids":["361","363"]}, we should have everything we need in the cache already. But right now, the apollo default behavior will just pass the cache and hit the network.
We tried to add a cacheRedirects config to solve this problem like this:
const cache = new InMemoryCache({
cacheRedirects: {
User: {
medias_cursor: (_, { ids }, { getCacheKey }) => {
if (!ids) return undefined
return {
medias: map(ids, id => {
return getCacheKey({ __typename: 'Media', id: id })
})
}
},
},
},
})
We are expecting that the cacheRedirects would help us to use the cache when it's available, but now it will skip the cache anyway.

Writing nested object to local Apollo cache

I have already looked at: Writing nested object to Apollo client cache
And I guess everywhere else on the internet.
So what I want to do is to write an object to the Apollo cache, to store it locally. This is my setup:
const cache = new InMemoryCache()
const client = new ApolloClient({
uri: '/hasura/v1/graphql',
cache,
credentials: 'include',
})
Then I write this to initialize the cache, taken from: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/data/local-state/#querying-local-state
cache.writeData({
data: {
todos: [],
visibilityFilter: 'SHOW_ALL',
networkStatus: {
__typename: 'NetworkStatus',
id: 1,
isConnected: false,
},
},
})
Now, when I want to query the cache using this query:
const lolquery = gql`{
visibilityFilter #client
}`
const result = cache.readQuery({ query: lolquery })
console.log(result)
I can get the visibilityFilter and todos, but when I try to query for networkStatus i.e.,
const lolquery = gql`{
networkStatus #client
}`
I get the following error:
Uncaught Invariant Violation: Invariant Violation: 10
Googling this error doesn't give me much of an answer.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Am I missing something really obvious?
networkStatus was initialized as an object, so you have to query it with a subselection of one or more fields.
{
networkStatus #client {
isConnected
}
}

AWS AppSync query returns cached response even when offline is disabled

I have a fairly simple node app using AWS AppSync. I am able to run queries and mutations successfully but I've recently found that if I run a query twice I get the same response - even when I know that the back-end data has changed. In this particular case the query is backed by a lambda and in digging into it I've discovered that the query doesn't seem to be sent out on the network because the lambda is not triggered each time the query runs - just the first time. If I use the console to simulate my query then everything runs fine. If I restart my app then the first time a query runs it works fine but successive queries again just return the same value each time.
Here are some part of my code:
client.query({
query: gql`
query GetAbc($cId: String!) {
getAbc(cId: $cId) {
id
name
cs
}
}`,
options: {
fetchPolicy: 'no-cache'
},
variables: {
cid: event.cid
}
})
.then((data) => {
// same data every time
})
Edit: trying other fetch policies like network-only makes no visible difference.
Here is how I set up the client, not super clean but it seems to work:
const makeAWSAppSyncClient = (credentials) => {
return Promise.resolve(
new AWSAppSyncClient({
url: 'lalala',
region: 'us-west-2',
auth: {
type: 'AWS_IAM',
credentials: () => {
return credentials
}
},
disableOffline: true
})
)
}
getRemoteCredentials()
.then((credentials) => {
return makeAWSAppSyncClient(credentials)
})
.then((client) => {
return client.hydrated()
})
.then((client) => {
// client is good to use
})
getRemoteCredentials is a method to turn an IoT authentication into normal IAM credentials which can be used with other AWS SDKs. This is working (because I wouldn't get as far as I do if not).
My issue seems very similar to this one GraphQL Query Runs Sucessfully One Time and Fails To Run Again using Apollo and AWS AppSync; I'm running in a node environment (rather than react) but it is essentially the same issue.
I don't think this is relevant but for completeness I should mention I have tried both with and without the setup code from the docs. This appears to make no difference (except annoying logging, see below) but here it is:
global.WebSocket = require('ws')
global.window = global.window || {
setTimeout: setTimeout,
clearTimeout: clearTimeout,
WebSocket: global.WebSocket,
ArrayBuffer: global.ArrayBuffer,
addEventListener: function () { },
navigator: { onLine: true }
}
global.localStorage = {
store: {},
getItem: function (key) {
return this.store[key]
},
setItem: function (key, value) {
this.store[key] = value
},
removeItem: function (key) {
delete this.store[key]
}
};
require('es6-promise').polyfill()
require('isomorphic-fetch')
This is taken from: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/building-a-client-app-javascript.html
With this code and without offlineDisabled: true in the client setup I see this line spewed continuously on the console:
redux-persist asyncLocalStorage requires a global localStorage object.
Either use a different storage backend or if this is a universal redux
application you probably should conditionally persist like so:
https://gist.github.com/rt2zz/ac9eb396793f95ff3c3b
This makes no apparent difference to this issue however.
Update: my dependencies from package.json, I have upgraded these during testing so my yarn.lock contains more recent revisions than listed here. Nevertheless: https://gist.github.com/macbutch/a319a2a7059adc3f68b9f9627598a8ca
Update #2: I have also confirmed from CloudWatch logs that the query is only being run once; I have a mutation running regularly on a timer that is successfully invoked and visible in CloudWatch. That is working as I'd expect but the query is not.
Update #3: I have debugged in to the AppSync/Apollo code and can see that my fetchPolicy is being changed to 'cache-first' in this code in apollo-client/core/QueryManager.js (comments mine):
QueryManager.prototype.fetchQuery = function (queryId, options, fetchType, fetchMoreForQueryId) {
var _this = this;
// Next line changes options.fetchPolicy to 'cache-first'
var _a = options.variables, variables = _a === void 0 ? {} : _a, _b = options.metadata, metadata = _b === void 0 ? null : _b, _c = options.fetchPolicy, fetchPolicy = _c === void 0 ? 'cache-first' : _c;
var cache = this.dataStore.getCache();
var query = cache.transformDocument(options.query);
var storeResult;
var needToFetch = fetchPolicy === 'network-only' || fetchPolicy === 'no-cache';
// needToFetch is false (because fetchPolicy is 'cache-first')
if (fetchType !== FetchType.refetch &&
fetchPolicy !== 'network-only' &&
fetchPolicy !== 'no-cache') {
// so we come through this branch
var _d = this.dataStore.getCache().diff({
query: query,
variables: variables,
returnPartialData: true,
optimistic: false,
}), complete = _d.complete, result = _d.result;
// here complete is true, result is from the cache
needToFetch = !complete || fetchPolicy === 'cache-and-network';
// needToFetch is still false
storeResult = result;
}
// skipping some stuff
...
if (shouldFetch) { // shouldFetch is still false so this doesn't execute
var networkResult = this.fetchRequest({
requestId: requestId,
queryId: queryId,
document: query,
options: options,
fetchMoreForQueryId: fetchMoreForQueryId,
}
// resolve with data from cache
return Promise.resolve({ data: storeResult });
If I use my debugger to change the value of shouldFetch to true then at least I see a network request go out and my lambda executes. I guess I need to unpack what that line that is changing my fetchPolicy is doing.
OK I found the issue. Here's an abbreviated version of the code from my question:
client.query({
query: gql`...`,
options: {
fetchPolicy: 'no-cache'
},
variables: { ... }
})
It's a little bit easier to see what is wrong here. This is what it should be:
client.query({
query: gql`...`,
fetchPolicy: 'network-only'
variables: { ... }
})
Two issues in my original:
fetchPolicy: 'no-cache' does not seem to work here (I get an empty response)
putting the fetchPolicy in an options object is unnecessary
The graphql client specifies options differently and we were switching between the two.
Set the query fetch-policy to 'network-only' when running in an AWS Lambda function.
I recommend using the overrides for WebSocket, window, and localStorage since these objects don't really apply within a Lambda function. The setup I typically use for NodeJS apps in Lambda looks like the following.
'use strict';
// CONFIG
const AppSync = {
"graphqlEndpoint": "...",
"region": "...",
"authenticationType": "...",
// auth-specific keys
};
// POLYFILLS
global.WebSocket = require('ws');
global.window = global.window || {
setTimeout: setTimeout,
clearTimeout: clearTimeout,
WebSocket: global.WebSocket,
ArrayBuffer: global.ArrayBuffer,
addEventListener: function () { },
navigator: { onLine: true }
};
global.localStorage = {
store: {},
getItem: function (key) {
return this.store[key]
},
setItem: function (key, value) {
this.store[key] = value
},
removeItem: function (key) {
delete this.store[key]
}
};
require('es6-promise').polyfill();
require('isomorphic-fetch');
// Require AppSync module
const AUTH_TYPE = require('aws-appsync/lib/link/auth-link').AUTH_TYPE;
const AWSAppSyncClient = require('aws-appsync').default;
// INIT
// Set up AppSync client
const client = new AWSAppSyncClient({
url: AppSync.graphqlEndpoint,
region: AppSync.region,
auth: {
type: AppSync.authenticationType,
apiKey: AppSync.apiKey
}
});
There are two options to enable/disable caching with AppSyncClient/ApolloClient, for each query or/and on initializing the client.
Client Config:
client = new AWSAppSyncClient(
{
url: 'https://myurl/graphql',
region: 'my-aws-region',
auth: {
type: AUTH_TYPE.AWS_MY_AUTH_TYPE,
credentials: await getMyAWSCredentialsOrToken()
},
disableOffline: true
},
{
cache: new InMemoryCache(),
defaultOptions: {
watchQuery: {
fetchPolicy: 'no-cache', // <-- HERE: check the apollo fetch policy options
errorPolicy: 'ignore'
},
query: {
fetchPolicy: 'no-cache',
errorPolicy: 'all'
}
}
}
);
Alternative: Query Option:
export default graphql(gql`query { ... }`, {
options: { fetchPolicy: 'cache-and-network' },
})(MyComponent);
Valid fetchPolicy values are:
cache-first: This is the default value where we always try reading data from your cache first. If all the data needed to fulfill your query is in the cache then that data will be returned. Apollo will only fetch from the network if a cached result is not available. This fetch policy aims to minimize the number of network requests sent when rendering your component.
cache-and-network: This fetch policy will have Apollo first trying to read data from your cache. If all the data needed to fulfill your query is in the cache then that data will be returned. However, regardless of whether or not the full data is in your cache this fetchPolicy will always execute query with the network interface unlike cache-first which will only execute your query if the query data is not in your cache. This fetch policy optimizes for users getting a quick response while also trying to keep cached data consistent with your server data at the cost of extra network requests.
network-only: This fetch policy will never return you initial data from the cache. Instead it will always make a request using your network interface to the server. This fetch policy optimizes for data consistency with the server, but at the cost of an instant response to the user when one is available.
cache-only: This fetch policy will never execute a query using your network interface. Instead it will always try reading from the cache. If the data for your query does not exist in the cache then an error will be thrown. This fetch policy allows you to only interact with data in your local client cache without making any network requests which keeps your component fast, but means your local data might not be consistent with what is on the server. If you are interested in only interacting with data in your Apollo Client cache also be sure to look at the readQuery() and readFragment() methods available to you on your ApolloClient instance.
no-cache: This fetch policy will never return your initial data from the cache. Instead it will always make a request using your network interface to the server. Unlike the network-only policy, it also will not write any data to the cache after the query completes.

emberjs find then filter

In emberjs, considering the following data
(only showing 1 record, normally there would be multiple records):
{ "service": [{
"service-_id":"service_5606ece79bdb05546479739866",
"service-_rev":"5-62dc477c13ef3ea92869bcdf1a67f1a6",
"service-company-name":"ABC co.",
"service-address":"1 2 3 Main Street",
"service-address-line-2":"",
"service-city":"asfd",
"service-state-current":"NY",
"service-zip":"12345",
"service-phone":"111",
"service-fax":"",
"service-email":"asdf#adsf.com",
"service-category-current":"web",
"service-type":"service",
"id":"service_5606ece79bdb05546479739866"
}]}
If I want to return all the records, I can simply do this:
App.ServicesRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return this.store.find('service');
}
});
However, let's say I want to return all the records that have the current category as 'web'. So in the example data, there is this key: service-category-current
How would I adjust my model to find 'service' then filter where service-category-current = 'web' ?
The best way would be to make your API backend handle query params you send to it (so your records would be filtered on a backend, preferably query params could be used to query the database), so response from server would return only records that match your query. Example store.query call:
this.store.query('service', {
'service-category-current': 'web'
});
Which results in fetching records from URL:
http://api.com/services?service-category-current=web
And you're done. But, if you can't refactor your backend, you could filter records client-side:
model() {
return new Ember.RSVP.Promise(resolve => {
this.store.findAll('service').then(services => {
resolve(services.filterBy('service-category-current', 'web'));
});
});
}
Not ES2015 + using Ember.RSVP.Promise instead of native Promise (maybe will help you with Safari issue):
model: function() {
var that = this;
return new Ember.RSVP.Promise(function(resolve) {
that.store.findAll('service').then(function(services) {
resolve(services.filterBy('service-category-current', 'web'));
});
});
}

StrongLoop loopback - how to exclude results without related model results

I'm using this Node API JSON, which returns Customers, their instances, and the instance versions.
Customers.find({
"include": {
"relation": "instances",
"scope": {
"include": {
"relation": "versions"
}
}
}
});
I would like to exclude all customers which do not have any related instances, in the result JSON, there is an "instances" entry with empty [ ]. however when I try to use this in a "where" I get a server error... any ideas, or am I going about this the wrong way?
If you're using MongoDB as your database, then you could add a where property to your filter at the same level as your first include, like:
var filter = {
where: {
relationId: {
exists: false
}
},
include: {...}
};
Customers.find(filter, function ( err, results ) {...});
See issue #1009 for details/updates re: database implementation.
Alternatively, you could just filter the results with Lodash:
var customersWithInstances = _.filter( customers, function ( customer )
{
return customer.instanceId;
});

How to Model.fetch(<object>) when the returned data is a single object

I want to make an API call for searching that looks like this:
https://myapi.com/search/<query>/<token>
where query is the search term and token (optional) is an alphanumeric set of characters which identifies the position of my latest batch of results, which is used for infinite scrolling.
This call returns the following JSON response:
{
"meta": { ... },
"results" {
"token": "125fwegg3t32",
"content": [
{
"id": "125125122778",
"text": "Lorem ipsum...",
...
},
{
"id": "125125122778",
"text": "Dolor sit amet...",
...
},
...
]
}
}
content is an array of (embedded) items that I'm displaying as search results. My models look like this:
App.Content = Em.Model.extend({
id: Em.attr(),
text: Em.attr(),
...
});
App.Results = Em.Model.extend({
token: Em.attr(),
content: Em.hasMany('App.Content', {
key: 'content',
embedded: true
})
});
In order to make that API call, I figured I have to do something like this:
App.Results.reopenClass({
adapter: Em.RESTAdapter.create({
findQuery: function(klass, records, params) {
var self = this,
url = this.buildURL(klass) + '/' + params.query;
if (params.token) {
url += '/' + params.token;
}
return this.ajax(url).then(function(data) {
self.didFindQuery(klass, records, params, data);
return records;
});
}
}),
url: 'https://myapi.com/search',
});
then somewhere in my routes do this:
App.Results.fetch({query: 'query', token: '12kgkj398512j'}).then(function(data) {
// do something
return data;
})
but because the API returns a single object and Em.RESTAdapter.findQuery expects an array, an error occurs when Ember Model tries to materialize the data. So how do I do this properly? I'm using the latest build of Ember Model.
By the way, I'm aware that it would be much more convenient if the API was designed in a way so I can just call App.Content.fetch(<object>), which would return a similar JSON response, but I would then be able to set the collectionKey option to content and my data would be properly materialized.
You simply need to override your models load() method to adjust the payload hash to what Ember.Model wants. There are no serializers in Ember.Model. There is both a class level load for handling collections and an instance level load for loading the JSON specific to a single model. You want to override the instance level load method to wrap the content key value in an array if its not one already.
I have been using Ember.Mode quite heavily and enhanced it for a number of my use cases and submitted PR's for both fixes and enhancements. Those PRs have been sitting there for a while with no response from the maintainers. I have now moved to Ember.Data which has been 'rebooted' so to speak and having a lot better result with it now.
I would strongly suggest walking away from Ember.Model as it appears dead with the new pragmatic direction Ember Data has taken and because the project maintainer doesn't appear to have any interest in it anymore.
