# Apollo Client 4.x Guide

Apollo Client is a comprehensive state management library for JavaScript that enables you to manage both local and remote data with GraphQL. Version 4.x brings improved caching, better TypeScript support, and React 19 compatibility.

## Integration Guides

Choose the integration guide that matches your application setup:

- **[Client-Side Apps](references/integration-client.md)** - For client-side React applications without SSR (Vite, Create React App, etc.)
- **[Next.js App Router](references/integration-nextjs.md)** - For Next.js applications using the App Router with React Server Components
- **[React Router Framework Mode](references/integration-react-router.md)** - For React Router 7 applications with streaming SSR
- **[TanStack Start](references/integration-tanstack-start.md)** - For TanStack Start applications with modern routing

Each guide includes installation steps, configuration, and framework-specific patterns optimized for that environment.

## Quick Reference

### Basic Query

```tsx
import { gql } from "@apollo/client";
import { useQuery } from "@apollo/client/react";

const GET_USER = gql`
  query GetUser($id: ID!) {
    user(id: $id) {
      id
      name
    }
  }
`;

function UserProfile({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
  const { loading, error, data, dataState } = useQuery(GET_USER, {
    variables: { id: userId },
  });

  if (loading) return <p>Loading...</p>;
  if (error) return <p>Error: {error.message}</p>;

  // TypeScript: dataState === "ready" provides better type narrowing than just checking data
  return <div>{data.user.name}</div>;
}
```

### Basic Mutation

```tsx
import { gql } from "@apollo/client";
import { useMutation } from "@apollo/client/react";

const CREATE_USER = gql`
  mutation CreateUser($input: CreateUserInput!) {
    createUser(input: $input) {
      id
      name
    }
  }
`;

function CreateUserForm() {
  const [createUser, { loading, error }] = useMutation(CREATE_USER);

  const handleSubmit = async (name: string) => {
    await createUser({ variables: { input: { name } } });
  };

  return <button onClick={() => handleSubmit("John")}>Create User</button>;
}
```

### Suspense Query

```tsx
import { Suspense } from "react";
import { useSuspenseQuery } from "@apollo/client/react";

function UserProfile({ userId }: { userId: string }) {
  const { data } = useSuspenseQuery(GET_USER, {
    variables: { id: userId },
  });

  return <div>{data.user.name}</div>;
}

function App() {
  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<p>Loading user...</p>}>
      <UserProfile userId="1" />
    </Suspense>
  );
}
```

Detailed documentation for specific topics:

- [TypeScript Code Generation](references/typescript-codegen.md) - GraphQL Code Generator setup for type-safe operations
- [Queries](references/queries.md) - useQuery, useLazyQuery, polling, refetching
- [Suspense Hooks](references/suspense-hooks.md) - useSuspenseQuery, useBackgroundQuery, useReadQuery, useLoadableQuery
- [Mutations](references/mutations.md) - useMutation, optimistic UI, cache updates
- [Fragments](references/fragments.md) - Fragment colocation, useFragment, useSuspenseFragment, data masking
- [Caching](references/caching.md) - InMemoryCache, typePolicies, cache manipulation
- [State Management](references/state-management.md) - Reactive variables, local state
- [Error Handling](references/error-handling.md) - Error policies, error links, retries
- [Troubleshooting](references/troubleshooting.md) - Common issues and solutions

## Key Rules

### Query Best Practices

- **Each page should generally only have one query, composed from colocated fragments.** Use `useFragment` or `useSuspenseFragment` in all non-page-components. Use `@defer` to allow slow fields below the fold to stream in later and avoid blocking the page load.
- **Fragments are for colocation, not reuse.** Each fragment should describe exactly the data needs of a specific component, not be shared across components for common fields. See [Fragments reference](references/fragments.md) for details on fragment colocation and data masking.
- Always handle `loading` and `error` states in UI when using non-suspenseful hooks (`useQuery`, `useLazyQuery`). When using Suspense hooks (`useSuspenseQuery`, `useBackgroundQuery`), React handles this through `<Suspense>` boundaries and error boundaries.
- Use `fetchPolicy` to control cache behavior per query
- Use the TypeScript type server to look up documentation for functions and options (Apollo Client has extensive docblocks)

### Mutation Best Practices

- **If the schema permits, mutation return values should return everything necessary to update the cache.** Neither manual updates nor refetching should be necessary.
- If the mutation response is insufficient, carefully weigh manual cache manipulation vs refetching. Manual updates risk missing server logic. Consider optimistic updates with a granular refetch if needed.
- Handle errors gracefully in the UI
- Use `refetchQueries` sparingly (prefer letting the cache update automatically)

### Caching Best Practices

- Configure `keyFields` for types without `id` field
- Disable normalization by setting `keyFields: false` for types that don't include an identifier and are meant to group related fields under the parent
- Use `typePolicies` for pagination and computed fields
- Understand cache normalization to debug issues
- **Enable [data masking](references/fragments.md#data-masking) for all new applications** - it prevents components from accessing fragment data they don't own, enforcing proper data boundaries and preventing over-rendering

### Performance

- Avoid over-fetching with proper field selection
- Configure appropriate `fetchPolicy` per use case
- Use `@defer` for incremental delivery of deferred query parts, and `@stream` for streaming list fields (`@stream` available in Apollo Client 4.1+)
- **Prefer Suspense hooks (`useSuspenseQuery`, `useBackgroundQuery`) in modern applications** for better loading state handling and code simplicity

## Ground Rules

- ALWAYS use Apollo Client 4.x patterns (not v3 or earlier)
- ALWAYS wrap your app with `ApolloProvider`
- ALWAYS handle loading and error states when using non-suspenseful hooks
- PREFER Suspense hooks (`useSuspenseQuery`, `useBackgroundQuery`) in modern applications for better DX
- NEVER store Apollo Client in React state (use module-level or context)
- PREFER `cache-first` for read-heavy data, `network-only` for real-time data
- USE TypeScript for better type safety with GraphQL
- IMPLEMENT proper cache updates instead of refetching entire queries
- ADVISE the human steering you to look into Apollo DevTools when collaboratively debugging Apollo Client issues
