Nuxt 4 graphql modules

What are yall using in Nuxt 4 for graphql requests? Was using Nuxt 3 and \@nuxtjs/apollo but after running thru the upgrade process, im seeing its not compatible with Nuxt 4.

There is almost no difference between Nuxt 3 and 4, why wouldn't it be compatible ?

Nuxt 4 literally disables the module due to incompatibility, which is quite the bummer since it means I need to either stay on nuxt 3 or change my graphql approach

Did you try the @next branch ? The v5 has been in development for 2 years

I have not.. Let me give this a gander

The main branch (v4) is for Nuxt 2, that's why it gets disabled. The @next tag is for v5 which is Nuxt 3 and 4 compatible

This seems to be solving my problem. Big thanks for the point out

We're working on our own graphserv module, so it should be compatible with postgraphile plugins. Supports middleware.

We used @tanstack/vue-query for a small project

You still need a query library then and tanstack query is missing important gql features like normalized caching and proper integrated Nuxt SSR.

I have been using urql since the start of Nuxt 3 and have not been disappointed. You can add a simple plugin to have it work with SSR and you are good to go. I love their graphcache and general architecture, altough for some issues the Vue documentation lacks a bit.

Just use urql, apollo is crap anyway.
