How to Pass Arguments to the Query Method in Apollo: A Guide for React Developers

As a React developer using Apollo Client to manage your GraphQL queries, you may sometimes encounter the challenge of passing arguments to your queries. This is especially relevant when you want to fetch data that is specific to a user, such as a list of todos created by the currently logged-in user. In this post, we’ll tackle the issue of how to pass dynamic arguments to the query method so you can retrieve personalized data effectively.

The Initial Challenge

You have a situation where you want to fetch todo items associated with a specific user but are faced with difficulties when attempting to pass that user's ID as a variable. The initial code might look like this:

Despite setting up your query with the right parameters, you find that it does not operate as intended when you try utilizing loggedUserId, but hardcoding a user ID in the query works without a hitch.

Overview of the Solution

To effectively resolve the issue of passing dynamic arguments, you need to ensure that your query structure is compatible with Apollo's querying conventions. The solution lies in correctly utilizing the variables in your GraphQL queries. This will allow you to fetch the appropriate data based on the provided loggedUserId, rather than relying on hardcoded values.

Updated Query Structure

The key modification in your GraphQL query involves adjusting the definition of the variable. Here’s how you can set it up correctly:

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Define the Query with Variables: Make sure you properly define the $loggedUserId variable in your query definition. It is critical to specify the correct data type (e.g., uuid!), ensuring that Apollo understands what type of data to expect.

Utilize the Query in Thunks: When utilizing the query within Redux Thunks, use the variables parameter to pass in the loggedUserId correctly.

Triggering the Thunk in Your Component: Finally, make sure you call your thunk correctly within your React component, as shown below:

Conclusion

By following these steps to amend your todoQuery, you should now be able to successfully fetch todos associated with a specific user. Passing the loggedUserId variable correctly in both the query definition and the thunk will ensure that your data fetching logic works as intended. This approach not only resolves the current issue but also establishes a solid foundation for handling other dynamic query requirements in GraphQL with Apollo Client.

Now you can confidently implement this in your own projects and enjoy fetching user-specific data seamlessly!
