Hi! Does the graphql client run on kotlin js? We're thinking of using it in a Kotlin React frontend.

[dave08]

I guess not... there seems to be java dependencies in the GraphqlKtorClient... even though potentially it might have been possible since Ktor is multiplatform.

[Dariusz Kuc]

Currently it is JVM only with hard Jackson dependency

[Dariusz Kuc]

I'm in a process of updating it to allow use of kotlinx serialization which could then allow us to publish it as multiplatform

[dave08]

What do you currently do for frontend js requests?

[Dariusz Kuc]

JS has number of options but we use Apollo

[dave08]

With Kotlin JS?

[Dariusz Kuc]

We dont use Kotlin JS

[dave08]

Also, I found the issue in the repo about Micronaut support, but it seems things changed a bit... would it be hard to integrate it?

[mbonnin]

Apollo Android does codegen for kotlin JS if you don't mind sending over http by yourself.

Please raise an issue - as for the "official" server support I'm not sure if we'll support it

[Dariusz Kuc]

With the recent refactoring it should be rather simple creating different servers (as shown in ktor example)

[dave08]

We currently have a bunch of Microservices running on Micronaut, and we can't easily switch frameworks... and using graphql-java alone (that has support in Micronaut), is SO much harder! Is the setup much different than this: https://github.com/ExpediaGroup/graphql-kotlin/issues/506#issuecomment-563272178

[dave08]

I tried it but it seems like the GraphQLContextBuilder doesn't seem to exist... and it pulls tons of spring deps that I'm not sure I need...

[dave08]

@mbonnin Thanks! I'll take a look.

[Dariusz Kuc]

Since we updated a lot since then I'd assume a lot of things changed - havent tried it recently

[Dariusz Kuc]

Take a look at new graphql server package that provides the abstraction - it should not have any spring dependencies

[Dariusz Kuc]

*in 4.0.0 versions

[dave08]

Thanks, I'll take a look.
