Storybook GraphiQL Addon

Storybook GraphiQL Addon can be used to display the GraphiQL IDE with example queries in Storybook.

This addon works with Storybook for: React.

Getting Started

First, install the addon

npm install -D @storybook/addon-graphql

Import the setupGraphiQL function and use it to create the graphiql helper with a base url.

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react'
import { setupGraphiQL } from '@storybook/addon-graphql'

// setup the graphiql helper which can be used with the add method later
const graphiql = setupGraphiQL({ url: 'http://localhost:3000/graphql' });

storiesOf('GraphQL Demo', module)
  .add('get user info', graphiql(`{
    user(id: "1") {
      name
    }
  }`));

Tip: try creating the helper in another file and import the configured graphiql helper from it

Advanced Setup

The setupGraphiQL function also accepts a fetcher parameter which can be used to change how graphiql gets data. If the fetcher parameter is not given, it'll create a fetcher which uses the fetch api to make requests. The above example can also be written using a custom fetcher.

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react'
import { setupGraphiQL } from '@storybook/addon-graphql'

import { url } from './settings';

const fetcher = params => {
  const options = {
    method: 'post',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify(params),
  };
  return fetch(url, options).then(res => res.json());
};

// create the helper with a custom fetcher
const graphiql = setupGraphiQL({ fetcher });

storiesOf('GraphQL Demo', module)
  .add('get user info', graphiql(`{
    user(id: "1") {
      name
    }
  }`));
