Redux Conveyor

Warning: This software is in pre-alpha state and should NOT be used at this point

Conveyor is a Redux-based library for communicating with a GraphQL-based API. It provides a React API around Apollo Client. As such it competes with Apollo's own React bindings, but its API is inspired a bit more by Relay instead. The main differences with apollo-react are:

• Different Mutations API. The API is inspired by the Relay Mutations API, while (hopefully) avoiding the overly complex nature of the Relay API. One feature unique to the Conveyor is the ability to easily track whether a mutation is in progress.
• Fragment containers provide additional validation when passing partial response data to child components in development mode. Passed data also gets filtered so that components cannot accidentally rely on properties not explicitly specified in their fragment.
• Conveyor.QL supports interpolation of fragments, in a similar fashion to how Relay does it.
• Conveyor is generally more opinionated and has fewer options than Apollo's React API.

While Redux Conveyor was built specifically to fit the needs of Speakap, we intentionally have avoided entangling the project with other parts of our internal stack. While the primary reason for this approach is entirely selfish (it keeps the project more manageable by being individually testable and not needing to fork any internal code while we work on this project in parallel to the rest of our stack), it is our hope it may also help the project to find applications outside of the Speakap frontend for which it was developed.
