Chrome Devtool that provides a "network"-style tab for GraphQL requests to allow developers to debug more easily.
GraphQL is fantastic but if you're using GraphQL you've probably bumped into how horrible it is to monitor requests via the network tab:
GraphQL network allows you to actually monitor and debug network requests again, just like the good old days.
- Gives you a concise list of all GraphQL requests that have been sent. Easy to track what you're requesting.
- Gives you a raw view of the string of GraphQL being sent.
- Gives you a computed view of the request as your server will interpret it. So it's easy to debug fragments.
- Displays a nicely formatted response.
After installing the app, why not head over to GraphQLHub.
Because of the way Chrome Devtool extensions work, you'll need to have the GraphQL tab open at the time the request is made in order for it to be displayed, it won't pick up requests in the background.
Additionally, the extension will only pick up requests that send the Content-Type header with:
application/graphqlapplication/jsonwhere the GraphQL query is in an object parameter calledqueryapplication/x-www-form-urlencodedwhere the GraphQL query is in a parameter calledquery
Since GraphQL is fairly new, consensus hasn't exactly been reached on the best way to make queries, if you think another way should be supported, send a PR or open an issue.
It's likely that your GraphQL is invalid. If you've double checked this, open up an issue.
It's likely that there's a bug in the extension. Open an issue.
Hacking on the extension is really easy.
- Clone the repo
npm install- Make your changes
webpackin the top-level directory.- Load it into
chrome://extensionsin the normal way.
- Redo approach to CSS. Haven't yet had time to implement something proper.
- Include variable digestion.
