lokka

library1.7.0jsnpmunverified

Simple JavaScript client for GraphQL. Version 1.7.0 is the latest stable release, but the project is in maintenance mode with no active development. It works in browser, Node.js, and React Native. Unlike more modern clients like Apollo or urql, Lokka does not support React hooks, subscriptions, or advanced caching. It uses a transport layer pattern (e.g., lokka-transport-http) and provides a basic query/mutation API with fragment support and a simple watchQuery cache. It is best suited for simple GraphQL queries in non-React environments.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

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

Lokka

✓ import { Lokka } from 'lokka'

✗ const Lokka = require('lokka').Lokka

Use ESM import for modern environments. CJS require also works but the default export is an object, so you need .Lokka.

Transport

✓ import { Transport } from 'lokka-transport-http'

✗ const Transport = require('lokka-transport-http').Transport

Install the transport package separately. ESM and CJS both work.

default

✓ import lokka from 'lokka'

Default import is not available; use named import { Lokka }.

Sets up a Lokka client with HTTP transport and performs a simple query to fetch Star Wars film titles.

import { Lokka } from 'lokka'; import { Transport } from 'lokka-transport-http'; const client = new Lokka({ transport: new Transport('https://graphql-swapi.parseapp.com/') }); client.query(` { allFilms { films { title director releaseDate } } } `).then(result => { console.log(result.allFilms); }).catch(err => { console.error(err); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaLokka is outdated and no longer actively maintained. Consider using Apollo Client or urql for new projects.

fix

Migrate to a modern GraphQL client like Apollo Client (@apollo/client).

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaTransport layer must be installed separately (e.g., lokka-transport-http). Missing transport will cause runtime errors.

fix

Install required transport: npm install lokka-transport-http

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaDefault import from 'lokka' does not exist. Must use named import: import { Lokka } from 'lokka'.

fix

Change import to named import: import { Lokka } from 'lokka'

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaCJS require('lokka') returns an object, not the class directly. You need require('lokka').Lokka.

fix

Use const { Lokka } = require('lokka');

affects: >=1.0.0
