graphql-tag-swc-plugin

This plugin is used in the sportsbook-web repo to compile the GQL queries at build time instead of runtime.

SWC plugin alternative to babel-plugin-graphql-tag

Installation

npm install -D graphql-tag-swc-plugin

Usage

SWC

Add following to swc config (below with default values):

jsc: {
  experimental: {
    plugins: [
      ["graphql-tag-swc-plugin",
        {
          importSources: ["@apollo/client", "graphql-tag"],
          gqlTagIdentifiers: ["gql"]
        },
      ],
    ],
  },
},

Next js

Add following to next config (below with default values):

experimental: {
  swcPlugins: [
    ["graphql-tag-swc-plugin",
      {
        importSources: ["@apollo/client", "graphql-tag"],
        gqlTagIdentifiers: ["gql"]
      },
    ],
  ],
},

Configuration

Following props are accepted by plugin currently, inline with babel alternative:

1. importSources:

   default: ["@apollo/client", "graphql-tag"]

import paths from where gql tag is imported for which plugin should compile graphql

2. gqlTagIdentifiers:

   default: ["gql"]

Identifier by which graphql-tag will be imported. Example: Here import { gql } from "@apollo/client, "gql" is the identifier.

3. strip:

   default: false

If true, it pre-process graphql input to remove redundant (like whitespace and comments) characters by passing it through apollo_parser's lexer. This results in smaller AST in some cases and smaller footprint in bundle size.
