Apollo Client Devtools Extension

Apollo Client Devtools is a Chrome extension for the open-source GraphQL client, Apollo Client. This extension has 4 main features:

1. A built-in version of the Apollo Studio Explorer that allows you to make queries against your GraphQL server using your app's network interface directly (no configuration necessary).

2. A query watcher that shows you which queries are being watched by the current page, when those queries are loading, and what variables those queries are using.

3. A mutation inspector that displays the mutations made to your Apollo Client application data.

4. A cache inspector that displays your Apollo Client cache data. You can explore the cache through a tree-like interface, and search for specific field keys and values.

Code for this extension can be found at: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client-devtools

Botond Bertalan (ID: 000000d9af4a15d9) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/07/2023 Sorry, it does not work, even if I set: connectToDevTools to true. Also when I add it I get 3 build errors: 2 of them are: "Unhandled Runtime Error TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getObservableQueries')" And the third is: "Unhandled Runtime Error Error: There was an error while hydrating. Because the error happened outside of a Suspense boundary, the entire root will switch to client rendering." It is on apple silicon and node v16
