library0.2.16jsnpmunverified

apollo-link-http-common is an internal utility package within the deprecated `apollo-link` ecosystem, specifically designed to provide shared HTTP functionalities for other Apollo Link packages like `apollo-link-http` and `apollo-link-http-batch`. It extracts common logic for handling HTTP requests and responses, but it is not intended for direct consumption by end-user applications. The package, currently at version 0.2.16, explicitly warns that its API is unstable and versions may not adhere to SemVer, reflecting its role as a rapidly evolving internal component. Since Apollo Client 3.0, the entire `apollo-link` library, including this common utilities package, has been largely deprecated. Its core functionalities have been integrated directly into `@apollo/client/link/http`, making direct use of `apollo-link-http-common` obsolete and actively discouraged. Developers should migrate to the equivalent utilities provided by `@apollo/client` for stable HTTP networking.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

selectHttpOptionsAndBody

✓ import { selectHttpOptionsAndBody } from 'apollo-link-http-common'

✗ const { selectHttpOptionsAndBody } = require('apollo-link-http-common');

This package is not intended for direct end-user consumption. Use ESM-style imports if absolutely necessary for internal development, but migration to @apollo/client is recommended.

parseAndCheckHttpResponse

✓ import { parseAndCheckHttpResponse } from 'apollo-link-http-common'

✗ import parseAndCheckHttpResponse from 'apollo-link-http-common';

This is a named export, not a default. The package is generally deprecated, and these utilities are now found within @apollo/client.

serializeFetchParameter

✓ import { serializeFetchParameter } from 'apollo-link-http-common'

✗ const serializeFetchParameter = require('apollo-link-http-common').serializeFetchParameter;

Primarily for internal use by other `apollo-link` packages. Direct use is discouraged due to the package's deprecated status and unstable API.

This example demonstrates how an internal utility like `parseAndCheckHttpResponse` from `apollo-link-http-common` would process a mock HTTP response into a GraphQL result. It highlights the package's internal, lower-level role in handling network responses, not its direct use in creating an Apollo Link. This package is deprecated; for actual Apollo Client HTTP networking, use `@apollo/client/link/http`.

import { parseAndCheckHttpResponse } from 'apollo-link-http-common'; import { print } from 'graphql'; const mockOperation = { query: print(`query GetGreeting { greeting }`), variables: {}, operationName: 'GetGreeting', extensions: {} }; async function handleMockResponse() { // This is a simplified example demonstrating an internal utility function. // In a real scenario, you'd have a 'Response' object from a fetch call. const mockResponse = new Response(JSON.stringify({ data: { greeting: 'Hello World!' } }), { status: 200, headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } }); try { const result = await parseAndCheckHttpResponse(mockOperation, mockResponse); console.log('Parsed GraphQL result:', result); } catch (error) { console.error('Error parsing response:', error); } } handleMockResponse();

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe `apollo-link` ecosystem, including `apollo-link-http-common`, is deprecated as of Apollo Client 3.0. Its functionalities have been moved directly into `@apollo/client`. Direct usage of this package is strongly discouraged, and existing implementations should migrate.

fix

Migrate your application to use `@apollo/client/link/http` and other `@apollo/client` features directly. Remove all `apollo-link`, `apollo-link-http`, and `apollo-link-http-common` dependencies.

affects: >=0.2.0

breakingThe README explicitly states that the API of `apollo-link-http-common` is subject to change and versions may not follow SemVer. This means breaking changes can occur even between minor or patch versions.

fix

Avoid direct reliance on this package if possible. If you must use it (e.g., in a legacy `apollo-link` setup), pin exact versions and rigorously test updates. The recommended fix is to migrate to `@apollo/client`.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThis package is primarily an internal utility. It never reached a 1.0 stable release, indicating it was always considered experimental or unstable for external consumption. Direct usage by end-users is not its intended purpose.

fix

Recognize this package's internal role. For user-facing HTTP links, use the stable `HttpLink` from `@apollo/client` (since v3) or `apollo-link-http` (for older Apollo Client versions).

affects: <1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'apollo-link-http-common' or its corresponding type declarations.

Attempting to use `apollo-link-http-common` in a modern Apollo Client (v3+) project where it has been deprecated and removed.

fix

Remove the `apollo-link-http-common` dependency. The functionality is now integrated into `@apollo/client/link/http`. Adapt your code to use `@apollo/client`'s native HTTP link functionality.

Error: Cannot find module 'graphql'

The `graphql` peer dependency is not installed or its version does not satisfy the specified range (`^0.11.0 || ^0.12.0 || ^0.13.0 || ^14.0.0 || ^15.0.0`).

fix

Install `graphql` as a dependency: `npm install graphql` or `yarn add graphql`. Ensure its version is compatible with the peer dependency range specified.
