✨ [New] Jetpack compose extension (#4802)

You can now use the apollo-compose-support artifact:

// build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
  implementation("com.apollographql.apollo3:apollo-compose-support")
}

This artifact contains the toState() and watchAsState() extensions:

/**
 * A stateful composable that retrieves your data
 */
@OptIn(ApolloExperimental::class)
@Composable
fun LaunchDetails(launchId: String) {
    val response by apolloClient.query(LaunchDetailsQuery(launchId)).toState()
    val r = response
    when {
        r == null -> Loading() // no response yet
        r.exception != null -> ErrorMessage("Oh no... A network error happened: ${r.exception!!.message}")
        r.hasErrors() -> ErrorMessage("Oh no... A GraphQL error happened ${r.errors[0].message}.")
        else -> LaunchDetails(r.data!!, navigateToLogin)
    }
}

/**
 * A stateless composable that displays your data
 */
@Composable
private fun LaunchDetails(
        data: LaunchDetailsQuery.Data,
) {
  // Your UI code goes here
}

If you are working with paginated data, you can also add apollo-compose-paging-support to your dependencies:

// build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
  implementation("com.apollographql.apollo3:apollo-compose-paging-support")
}

This artifact contains a helper function to create androidx.pagin.Pager instances (androix documentation):

@OptIn(ApolloExperimental::class)
@Composable
fun LaunchList(onLaunchClick: (launchId: String) -> Unit) {
  val lazyPagingItems = rememberAndCollectPager<LaunchListQuery.Data, LaunchListQuery.Launch>(
          config = PagingConfig(pageSize = 10),
          appendCall = { response, loadSize ->
            if (response?.data?.launches?.hasMore == false) {
              // No more pages
              null
            } else {
              // Compute the next call from the current response
              apolloClient.query(
                      LaunchListQuery(
                              cursor = Optional.present(response?.data?.launches?.cursor),
                              pageSize = Optional.present(loadSize)
                      )
              )
            }
          },
          getItems = { response ->
            // Compute the items to be added to the page from the current response
            if (response.hasErrors()) {
              Result.failure(ApolloException(response.errors!![0].message))
            } else {
              Result.success(response.data!!.launches.launches.filterNotNull())
            }
          },
  )
  
  // Use your paging items:
  if (lazyPagingItems.loadState.refresh is LoadState.Loading) {
    Loading()
  } else {
    LazyColumn {
      items(lazyPagingItems) { launch ->
        // Your UI code goes here
      }
      item {
        when (val append = lazyPagingItems.loadState.append) {
          is LoadState.Error -> // Add error indicator here 
          LoadState.Loading -> // Add loading indicator here
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

✨ [New] Gradle plugin: run codegen after gradle sync

If you import a new project or run a Gradle sync, your GraphQL models are now automatically generated so that the IDE can find the symbols and your files do not show red underlines. This takes into account Gradle up-to-date checks and it should be pretty fast. If you want to opt-out, you can do so with generateSourcesDuringGradleSync.set(false):

apollo {
  // Enable automatic generation of models during Gradle sync (default)
  generateSourcesDuringGradleSync.set(true)

  // Or disable automatic generation of models to save on your Gradle sync times
  generateSourcesDuringGradleSync.set(false)

  service("api") {
    // Your  GraphQL configuration
  }
}
