I'm trying to use next.js with apollo graphql for server-side rendering. I know that to do that i need to run the necessary queries inside getServerSideProps(), which then will pass the props into the main component, where i will be able to render the results.
I created a provider to make sure all components in the tree get the same client object.
import withApollo from "next-with-apollo";
import { ApolloClient, InMemoryCache } from "@apollo/client";
import { ApolloProvider } from "@apollo/react-hooks";
export default withApollo(
() => {
return new ApolloClient({
ssrMode: true,
uri: "https://my.api/graphql",
cache: new InMemoryCache()
});
},
{
render: ({ Page, props }) => {
return (
<ApolloProvider client={props.apollo}>
<Page {...props} />
</ApolloProvider>
);
}
}
);
but how can i get this client inside the getServerSideProps() function if it's not being wrapped by withApollo()?
import gql from "graphql-tag";
import { useQuery } from "@apollo/react-hooks";
import { ApolloClient } from "@apollo/client";
import withApollo from "next-with-apollo";
const MY_QUERY = gql`
query MyQuery {
myQuery {
name
}
}
`;
function MyComponent(props) {
return (
<div className="landing-section__topcontainer ph-lg-8 ph-3">
<div className="overflow-list-container">
<div className="landing-horizontal-list">
{props.res.map(q => {
return (
<div className="tag-tile__title">{q.name}</div>
);
})}
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
export async function getServerSideProps() {
// Fetch data from external API
const apolloClient = getApolloClient();
const { data } = await apolloClient.query({
query: MY_QUERY
});
const res = data.myQuery;
return { props: { res } };
}
export default withApollo(MyComponent);
