SSR? about reason-apollo

[kgoggin]

Anyone have an example of this in the wild? I'm curious about how you'd set up a different instance of the client for server use and then have that client used when doing SSR in place of the one defined for the client. Thanks!

[rickiesmooth]

yes I was also looking for an example of providing a fetch client. I tried

  ApolloLinks.createHttpLink(
    ~fetch=Fetch,
  );

But that didn't work.

Edit: after reading the second comment again, added [%bs.raw "require('isomorphic-unfetch')"]; and it worked

Could you provide some more details of what isn't working or features missing?

[drejohnson]

Was getting Error: fetch is not found globally and no fetcher passed, to fix pass a fetch for [1] your environment like https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-fetch. but fixed it by adding [%bs.raw "require('isomorphic-unfetch')"];

But I was thinking more about how to do rehydration on the client like the docs suggest.

[Gregoirevda]

Part of that should be fixed now:

• Being able to set ssr to true: https://github.com/apollographql/reason-apollo/blob/master/src/ReasonApollo.re#L5

• Being able to provide a fetch client: https://github.com/apollographql/reason-apollo/blob/master/src/ApolloLinks.re#L24

[Gregoirevda]

Being able to restore the in memory cache: #25

[drejohnson]

Yep, this is pretty much resolved. Could add bindings for the getDataFromTree and the renderDataFromString functions for server, as well as the extract() method to be piped onto the initialized client e.g. client.extract().

It would be great for an example. cheers!

Queries don't seem to execute on the server, am I missing something?

[EnriqueVidal]

@romanschejbal queries execute for me, could be a network issue? like host unreachable? what is the error thrown?
