library0.7.0jsnpmunverified

A lightweight, minimalistic implementation of fetch specifically designed for GraphQL requests from the Apollo ecosystem. Version 0.7.0 (latest), not actively maintained—superseded by Apollo Client's built-in HTTP link. Provides a simple fetch-based interface for executing GraphQL queries and mutations. Unlike full Apollo Client, it offers no caching, state management, or React integration; purely a network layer. Ships TypeScript declarations. Low release cadence, no updates since 2018.

const { createApolloFetch } = require('apollo-fetch'); const fetch = createApolloFetch({ uri: process.env.GRAPHQL_URI ?? 'http://localhost:4000/graphql' }); fetch({ query: `{ __typename }` }).then(result => { console.log(result.data); }).catch(err => { console.error(err); });

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'data' of '(intermediate value)' as it is undefined.
