About The Project

The hasura_connect is designed to facilitate Hasura's integration with Flutter applications, leveraging the full power of Graphql.

Getting Started

To install Hasura Connect in your project you can follow the instructions below:

a) Add in your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
hasura_connect: <last-version>

b) or use slidy:

slidy install hasura_connect

How To Use

A simple usage example:

//import
import 'package:hasura_connect/hasura_connect.dart';

String url = 'http://localhost:8080/v1/graphql';
HasuraConnect hasuraConnect = HasuraConnect(url);

You can encapsulate this instance into a BLoC class or directly into a Provider.

Create a document with Query:

//document
  String docQuery = """
  query {
    authors {
        id
        email
        name
      }
  }
""";

Now just add the document to the "query" method of the HasuraConnect instance.

  //get query
var r = await hasuraConnect.query(docQuery);

//OR USE MUTATION
var r = await hasuraConnect.mutation(docQuery);

Subscriptions

Subscriptions will notify you each time you have a change to the searched items. Use the "hasuraConnect.subscription" method to receive a stream.

Snapshot snapshot = await hasuraConnect.subscription(docSubscription);
  snapshot.listen((data) {
    print(data);
  }).onError((err) {
    print(err);
  });

Using variables

Variables maintain the integrity of Querys, see an example:

String docSubscription = """
  subscription algumaCoisa($limit:Int!){
    users(limit: $limit, order_by: {user_id: desc}) {
      id
      email
      name
    }
  }
""";

Snapshot snapshot = await hasuraConnect.subscription(docSubscription, variables: {"limit": 10});

//change values of variables for PAGINATIONS
snapshot.changeVariable({"limit": 20});

INTERCEPTORS

This is a good strategy to control the flow of requests. With that we can create interceptors for logs or cache for example. The community has already provided some interceptors for caching. Interceptors are highly customizable.

View Hasura's official Authorization documentation.

class TokenInterceptor extends Interceptor {
 final FirebaseAuth auth;
 TokenInterceptor(this.auth);

 @override
 Future<void> onConnected(HasuraConnect connect) {}

 @override
 Future<void> onDisconnected() {}

 @override
 Future onError(HasuraError request) async {
   return request;
 }

 @override
 Future<Request> onRequest(Request request) async {
   var user = await auth.currentUser();
   var token = await user.getIdToken(refresh: true);
   if (token != null) {
     try {
       request.headers["Authorization"] = "Bearer ${token.token}";
       return request;
     } catch (e) {
       return null;
     }
   } else {
     Modular.to.pushReplacementNamed("/login");
   }
 }

 @override
 Future onResponse(Response data) async {
   return data;
 }

 @override
 Future<void> onSubscription(Request request, Snapshot snapshot) {}

 @override
 Future<void> onTryAgain(HasuraConnect connect) {}
}

Or:

class TokenInterceptor extends InterceptorBase {
  final FirebaseAuth auth;
  TokenInterceptor(this.auth);

  @override
  Future<Request> onRequest(Request request) async {
    var user = await auth.currentUser();
    var token = await user.getIdToken(refresh: true);
    if (token != null) {
      try {
        request.headers["Authorization"] = "Bearer ${token.token}";
        return request;
      } catch (e) {
        return null;
      }
    } else {
      Modular.to.pushReplacementNamed("/login");
    }
  }
}

INTERCEPTOR

Now you can intercept all requests, erros, subscritions.... all states of your hasura_connect connection.

onConnected
onDisconnected
onError
onRequest
onResponse
onSubscription
onTryAgain

CACHE OFFLINE

Now you will need to create a Interceptor or use a Cache Interceptor Package made to help you like: InMemory, Hive or SharedPreference

//In Memory
import 'package:hasura_cache_interceptor/hasura_hive_cache_interceptor.dart';

final storage = MemoryStorageService();
final cacheInterceptor = CacheInterceptor(storage);
final hasura = HasuraConnect(
  "<your hasura url>",
  interceptors: [cacheInterceptor],
  httpClient: httpClient,
)

//Hive
import 'package:hasura_connect/hasura_connect.dart';
import 'package:hasura_hive_cache_interceptor/hasura_hive_cache_interceptor.dart';

final cacheInterceptor = HiveCacheInterceptor("<your box name> (optional)");
final hasura = HasuraConnect(
  "<your hasura url>",
  interceptors: [cacheInterceptor],
  httpClient: httpClient,
)

//Shared Preference
import 'package:hasura_connect/hasura_connect.dart';
import 'package:shared_preferences_cache_interceptor/shared_preferences_cache_interceptor.dart';

final cacheInterceptor = SharedPreferencesCacheInterceptor();
final hasura = HasuraConnect(
  "<your hasura url>",
  interceptors: [cacheInterceptor],
  httpClient: httpClient,
)

Dispose

HasuraConnect provides a dispose() method for use in Provider or BlocProvider. Subscription will start only when someone is listening, and when all listeners are closed HasuraConnect automatically disconnects.

Therefore, we only connect to Hasura when we are actually using it;

_For more examples, please refer to the 🚧 Documentation - Currently being updated 🚧 .

Common Errors

Query data returned not decoded to utf-8.

Fix:

import 'dart:convert';

extension Utf8convert on String {
  String  _utf8convert() {
    List<int> bytes = this.toString().codeUnits;
    return utf8.decode(bytes);
  }
  String get utf8convert => _utf8convert();
}
