Mastering GraphQL Queries in React with Pagination Using the Fetch API

When building modern web applications using React, developers often face challenges when implementing data fetching methods, particularly when it comes to handling pagination with GraphQL. In this post, we'll walk you through how to create a GraphQL query in your React app using the Fetch API that not only retrieves data but also supports pagination effectively.

Understanding the Problem

In your scenario, you want to:

Fetch a list of items from your server using GraphQL.

Implement pagination that allows users to navigate through results with options to go to the first, last, previous, and next pages.

Leverage a graphene-Django backend, utilizing Relay Node-based queries for efficient data management.

This means you need to craft your queries cleverly and maintain the application's state to reflect the current page being viewed.

Implementing the Solution

1. Setting Up State Management

To start, you'll need to manage several pieces of state, such as the loading state, list of items, pagination offset, and flags for previous and next pages. Here's a foundational setup:

2. Creating the Fetch Logic

Define the method to load data using useEffect. This method will execute on mount and every time the offset state changes:

3. Handling Navigation

Next, create functions to handle pagination button clicks which update the offset state:

4. Rendering Components

Now, you need to render the fetched posts and the pagination buttons. Here’s a simple UI structure for displaying the posts along with navigation buttons:

5. Constructing GraphQL Queries

The most efficient way to implement pagination with your GraphQL server includes using both first and after parameters. Here’s a sample query you would use:

Fetch the first 10 posts:

You can also use the offset parameter in your queries, depending on how your backend is set up.

Conclusion

By implementing these steps, you can efficiently manage pagination in your React application when working with GraphQL queries. This structured approach utilizes the state, handles fetching logic properly, and provides a seamless experience for users navigating through paginated data. The challenge of fetching and displaying data can be simplified through effective state management and understanding GraphQL's querying capabilities.
