I have been given a task that I have to use a query and download a pdf when I click on a button.
The thing is that I’m new to graphQL and the backend guy has just sent to me this
type Query{
getCollectionReportOverview(filterReportCollectionOverview:ReportCollectionOverview ): String!
}
input ReportCollectionOverview {
collectionNumbers: [Int]!
collectionNames: [String]!
productLineNumbers: [String]
productLineNames: [String]
purchaseDivisionNumbers: [Int]
purchaseDivisionNames: [String]
buyerEmails: [String]
buyerNames: [String]
styleCategoryNumbers: [String]
styleCategoryNames: [String]
deliveryPeriodNumbers: [Int]
deliveryPeriodNames: [String]
supplierNumbers: [String]
supplierNames: [String]
styleNumbers: [Int]
brandName: String!
createdByName: String!
createdBy: UUID!
sortBy: String!
}
So far I was able to create this query in my front
import { gql } from '@apollo/client';
const GET_COLLECTION_REPORT_OVERVIEW = gql`
query getCollectionReportOverview($filterReportCollectionOverview: ReportCollectionOverviewInput!) {
getCollectionReportOverview(filterReportCollectionOverview: $filterReportCollectionOverview) {
collectionNumbers
collectionNames
productLineNumbers
productLineNames
purchaseDivisionNumbers
purchaseDivisionNames
buyerEmail
buyerNames
styleCategoryNumbers
styleCategoryNames
deliveryPeriodNumbers
deliveryPeriodNames
supplierNumbers
supplierNames
styleNumbers
brandNames
createdByName
createdBy
}
}
`;
export { GET_COLLECTION_REPORT_OVERVIEW };
But I don’t get see it working in the network tab. I’m a bit lost and confused.
Right now I have done this so far in my code:
export const ReportsFooter = ({
isOptionSelected,
handleOnClearAll,
sortby,
collectionNames,
collectionNumbers,
}: {
isOptionSelected: boolean;
handleOnClearAll: () => void;
sortby: string;
collectionNames: Array<string>;
collectionNumbers: Array<number>;
}): ReactElement => {
const theme = useTheme();
const isLargeScreen = useMediaQuery(theme.breakpoints.up('lg'));
const { selectedBrands } = useSelectedBrands();
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
const [getCollectionReportOverview, {error, data: reportsData }] = useLazyQuery(GET_COLLECTION_REPORT_OVERVIEW, {
onCompleted: () => {
setLoading(false); // When the query is complete
},
onError: (err) => {
setLoading(false); // When an error occurs
console.error(err);
},
});
const handleClickCreateViewButton = (): void => {
setLoading(true);
setTimeout(() => {// Set loading to true when initiating the data retrieval
getCollectionReportOverview({
variables: {
collectionNames: collectionNames,
collectionNumbers: collectionNumbers,
brandName: selectedBrands[0]?.brandName,
createdByName: 'YourCreatedByName',
createdBy: 'YourCreatedBy',
sortBy: sortby,
},
pollInterval: 0,
fetchPolicy: 'network-only',
context: { clientName: GraphClientNames['reports'] },
});
setTimeout(() => {
setLoading(false); // Set loading to false when the query is complete
}, 3000); // Duration to simulate loading (adjust as needed)
}, 1000); // Delay before initiating download (adjust as needed)
};
const hintComponent = (
<Box
sx={{
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
flex: '1',
alignItems: 'center',
}}
>
<Box
sx={{
display: 'flex',`your text`
alignItems: 'center',
flexDirection: 'row',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
flex: '1',
}}
>
<Typography variant={isLargeScreen ? 'body.default' : 'bodySmall.default'} sx={{ whiteSpace: 'nowrap' }}>
* required:
</Typography>
<Typography variant={isLargeScreen ? 'body.highlight' : 'bodySmall.highlight'} sx={{ paddingLeft: 1, whiteSpace: 'nowrap' }}>
{isOptionSelected ? '1/1' : '0/1'}
</Typography>
</Box>
<Typography variant='captions.default' sx={{ paddingLeft: 1, whiteSpace: 'nowrap' }}>
{isOptionSelected ? "You're good to go" : 'Select a Collection'}
</Typography>
</Box>
);
return (
<ProcessFooter
leftSideComponents={[
<Button
key='cancel-button'
variant="outlined"
size={isLargeScreen ? 'large' : 'small'}
disabled={!isOptionSelected}
onClick={handleOnClearAll}
>
<CrossIcon style={{ padding: '0px 12px 0px 0px' }} />
clear all
</Button>,
]}
hint={hintComponent}
rightSideComponents={[
loading ? (
<Stack
justifyContent="center"
alignItems="center"
spacing={5}
>
<LoadingSpinner />
<Typography variant="headings.h4" textAlign="center">
generating report
</Typography>
</Stack>
) : (
<CreateViewButton
key='create-orders-button'
isLargeScreen={isLargeScreen}
isOptionSelected={isOptionSelected}
sortbyValue={sortby}
collectionNames={collectionNames}
collectionNumbers={collectionNumbers}
onClick={handleClickCreateViewButton}
/>
),
]}
/>
);
};
I’m using useLazyQuery and passing the mandatory variables. I know that it isn’t finished yet but I want to see if the query works and what shall I change in the code.

The getCollectionReportOverview
query returns a String
as per the definition at the top of your question. ReportCollectionOverview
defines the structure of the input
of that query. It appears that 5 of the parameters are required and the rest are optional. It also appears that you’ve defined the variables in your query code (in the js part) correctly.
Your query should simply be:
const GET_COLLECTION_REPORT_OVERVIEW = gql`
query getCollectionReportOverview($filterReportCollectionOverview: ReportCollectionOverviewInput!) {
getCollectionReportOverview(filterReportCollectionOverview: $filterReportCollectionOverview)
}
It’s unclear what the returned String
should contain. You’re implying that it might be a PDF file in which case it could be base64 encoded or something else.
Since your query incorectly attempts to destructure the return value you’re likely getting a 400 error.
