ReasonML bindings for Apollo Client and React Apollo, enabling type-safe GraphQL operations in ReasonReact applications.
Reason-apollo is a set of ReasonML bindings for Apollo Client and React Apollo, enabling type-safe GraphQL operations in ReasonReact applications. It allows developers to write GraphQL queries, mutations, and subscriptions with compile-time validation using the GraphQL PPX preprocessor. The project integrates Apollo's caching and state management with ReasonML's strong type system.
ReasonML and OCaml developers building frontend applications with ReasonReact who need type-safe GraphQL data fetching and state management. It's particularly useful for teams already using Apollo Client in JavaScript/TypeScript who are migrating to or adopting ReasonML.
Developers choose reason-apollo for its seamless integration of Apollo's GraphQL ecosystem with ReasonML's type safety, reducing runtime errors and improving developer confidence. It provides a familiar Apollo API while leveraging ReasonML's powerful type system and compile-time guarantees.

Leverages graphql_ppx to generate ReasonML types from GraphQL schemas, ensuring compile-time validation of queries and mutations, which reduces runtime errors.
Provides bindings for Apollo Client's InMemoryCache and HTTP links, allowing developers to use Apollo's caching and state management in ReasonReact applications.
Includes ReasonReact components like Query and Mutation for declarative data fetching, mirroring the React Apollo API in a type-safe manner.
Offers utilities such as Belt.Option and @bsRecord for safely accessing deeply nested optional data in GraphQL responses, improving code robustness.
The repository was archived in May 2023, meaning no further updates, bug fixes, or security patches, making it risky for new projects.
Requires installing and configuring graphql_ppx, generating introspection schemas, and managing ppx flags in bsconfig, which adds overhead compared to JavaScript setups.
Tied to the niche ReasonML/OCaml ecosystem, with fewer resources, tutorials, and community support compared to mainstream GraphQL clients in JavaScript or TypeScript.
