Question 1

How do I integrate GraphQL Zeus with React Query?

Accepted Answer

GraphQL Zeus generates typed clients that can be used with React Query's useQuery hook. First, run the Zeus CLI to generate types, then import the Gql function and use it within React Query's fetchers, ensuring type-safe data fetching as per the documentation.

Question 2

GraphQL Zeus vs GraphQL Code Generator: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

GraphQL Zeus focuses on a TypeScript-native, integrated experience with specific clients like Apollo, while GraphQL Code Generator is more configurable and supports a wider range of plugins. Choose Zeus for simplicity with Apollo/React Query; choose Code Generator for extensive customization and broader ecosystem support.

Question 3

Can GraphQL Zeus handle GraphQL subscriptions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, GraphQL Zeus supports subscriptions through compatible clients like Stucco Subscriptions. It generates typed subscription clients, allowing for type-safe real-time data handling, as mentioned in the features section of the README.

Question 4

How to set up GraphQL Zeus in a Node.js project?

Accepted Answer

Install graphql-zeus globally or locally, then run 'zeus schema.graphql ./ --node' to generate Node.js compatible clients. This creates TypeScript files that can be imported and used in your backend code, following the install instructions in the README.

Question 5

Does GraphQL Zeus work with Vue.js or Angular?

Accepted Answer

GraphQL Zeus is platform-agnostic for JavaScript environments, so it can be used with Vue.js or Angular. However, its examples and documentation primarily focus on React and Apollo, so integration might require additional setup and experimentation.

Question 6

What are the performance costs of using GraphQL Zeus?

Accepted Answer

The main performance cost is at build time, where schema generation can add seconds to your CI/CD pipeline, especially for large schemas. Runtime performance is similar to using raw GraphQL clients, as Zeus generates standard JavaScript code without heavy overhead.
