How to run direct graphql queries without persistentQueries

Is there documentation to run vanilla graphql queries using say ApolloClient?

In my usecase, my content fragment schema has 350+ elements in it. UI Head is a reporting react app, allows users to choose columns and graphql query must load results. Page load pulls only 10 elements and allows users to dynamically add more elements.

 

With this reporting page, persistentQueries wont help me. The query must fetch all 350 elements and then UI must filter interested elements. Looking for a way to construct queries at client using Apollo and run. 

 

Documentation reads ability to run direct direct queries may get deprecated. 

Until we too migrate content fragments into better solutions, looking for running direct queries. Is there documentation how to implement?

Hi @sarav_prakash .

 

Please open the graphql editor console and type the query with all the elements and open the network tab and then run the query then you should be able to see a api call in the network tab which internall calls graphql endpoint with the requested elements.

 

This way you need not to use persistent query and you can directly call the graphql endpoint without using persistent query. This is what hitting the graphql with direct queries.

    agreed. hacky way indeed works. Was looking for list of osgi config, dispatcher, env variables etc to run query at publisher upto production. 

    Documentation provides how to get started 

    And I was able to resolve schema 

    But still working to figure dispatcher and publisher osgi config. 

     

    Was checking if anyone have done this in their project successfully.

      Hi @sarav_prakash 

       

      In our project use-case we are using graphQL headless client which fetches all results in NextJs based front-end application

       

      https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/getting-started-with-aem-headless/how-to/example-apps/react-app

       

      There is a java based implementation as well for the same

       

      https://github.com/adobe/aem-headless-client-java

       

      Check if it helps for your use-case

       

      Thanks

        Thanks, I ll try this. Examples show hitting publisher. Are you hitting direct publisher or through dispatcher? What all changes needed at publisher and dispatcher to enable this?
