Method Get

This example shows usage of the getReads method mode for the HTTP transport. This mode causes read-kind operations (query, subscription) to be sent over HTTP GET method. Note write-kind operations (mutation) are still sent over HTTP POST method.

import { Pokemon } from './pokemon/__.js'

const graffle = Pokemon
  .create({
    schema: `http://localhost:3000/graphql`,
    transport: { methodMode: `getReads` }, 
  })
  .anyware(async ({ exchange }) => {
    console.log(exchange.input.request)
    return exchange()
  })

// The following request will use an HTTP POST method because it is
// using a "mutation" type of operation.
await graffle.rawString({ document: `mutation { addPokemon(attack:0, defense:0, hp:1, name:"Nano") { name } }` })

// The following request will use an HTTP GET method because it
// is using a "query" type of operation.
await graffle.rawString({ document: `query { pokemonByName(name:"Nano") { hp } }` })
