🧩 Composable utilities for using Apollo Client v4 with Vue 3.

Vue3 Apollo Core provides a lightweight, composable-first integration between Vue 3 and Apollo Client, allowing you to perform GraphQL queries, mutations, and subscriptions in a fully reactive way.

✨ Features

• 🪶 Minimal and tree-shakeable
• 🔁 Reactive GraphQL queries & mutations via Vue composables
• ⚡ Multiple client support (default + named clients)
• 🧠 TypeScript-first API
• 🧩 Seamless integration with Nuxt via @vue3-apollo/nuxt
• 📄 Full documentation at vue3-apollo.guen.dev

📦 Installation

You can install using your preferred package manager:

npm install @vue3-apollo/core @apollo/client graphql

🚀 Getting Started

1. Create an Apollo Client

import { ApolloClient, HttpLink, InMemoryCache } from '@apollo/client/core'

export const defaultClient = new ApolloClient({
    cache: new InMemoryCache(),
    link: new HttpLink({
    // Example public GraphQL API
        uri: 'https://graphqlplaceholder.vercel.app/graphql',
    }),
})

2. Register the Plugin

import { apolloPlugin } from '@vue3-apollo/core'
import { createApp } from 'vue'

import { analyticsClient, defaultClient } from './apollo-clients'

const app = createApp(App)

app.use(apolloPlugin, {
    clients: {
        analytics: analyticsClient,
        default: defaultClient,
    },
})

This injects Apollo clients into your Vue app, making them available across composables and components.

3. Use in a Component

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useQuery } from '@vue3-apollo/core'
import gql from 'graphql-tag'

const GET_POSTS = gql`
  query Posts {
    posts {
      id
      title
      body
    }
  }
`

const { error, loading, result } = useQuery(GET_POSTS)
</script>

<template>
  <div v-if="loading">
    Loading...
  </div>
  <div v-else-if="error">
    {{ error.message }}
  </div>
  <ul v-else>
    <li v-for="post in result.posts" :key="post.id">
      <strong>{{ post.title }}</strong> — {{ post.body }}
    </li>
  </ul>
</template>

🧠 Composables Overview

See the full API reference for details.

🧩 Multi-Client Example

You can register and switch between multiple clients:

const { result: analyticsData } = useQuery(ANALYTICS_QUERY, null, {
    clientId: 'analytics',
})

🧰 TypeScript Support

All composables are fully typed, providing autocompletion and inference for query variables and responses.

const { result } = useQuery<{ posts: { id: string, title: string }[] }>(GET_POSTS)
