graphql_query_compress 0.0.1

Compress GraphQL query string

A package that eliminates unnecessary characters from a GraphQL query, saving several bytes on requests.

final compressedQuery = compressGraphqlQuery(query);

see example for input and output sample

Using it with gql_dio_link, gql_http_link or graphql

GQL will serialize your query in a human-readable format after parse it to DocumentNodes. Therefore, we can't simple compress it before use GQL parser.

To workaround overcome this, we need to replace GQL RequestSerializer by RequestSerializerWithCompressor

return GraphQLClient(
  cache: GraphQLCache(store: null),
  link: HttpLink(
    _apiUrl,
    serializer: const RequestSerializerWithCompressor(),
  ),
);

Same deal with DioLink:

final link = DioLink(
  _apiUrl,
  client: Dio(),
  useGETForQueries: true,
  serializer: const RequestSerializerWithCompressor(),
);
