Storybook GraphiQL Addon

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

Framework Support

Getting Started

First, install the addon

yarn add @storybook/addon-graphql --dev

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
    }
  }`)
);
