But Can Your GraphQL Client Do This? - A Deep-Dive Into urql
summary
urql is a small, extensible GraphQL client built from composable exchanges that replace dedupe, cache and fetch layers; drop-in exchanges add automatic persisted queries, multipart file uploads, retry logic and an auth exchange that handles async token refresh for web and React Native. A normalized cache called GraphCache provides optimistic updates via overlay layers, schema awareness, commutativity to guarantee offline-first correctness, and partial reads so list→detail navigation is instant. The components are implemented and used in production.
