AI Analysis

●●SolidNiche GemCozy

GraphiQL for Svelte devs who hate React, powered by CodeMirror 6.

Strengths
  • •Ships raw .svelte sources so SvelteKit compiles against your own version.
  • •Separates component entry points from TS API for cleaner bundler resolution.
  • •Supports both HTTP fetchers and AsyncIterable for SSE/WebSocket subscriptions.
Weaknesses
  • •Requires Svelte 5 exclusively, limiting adoption for legacy projects.
  • •Niche appeal; most teams won't swap the official React-based GraphiQL.

Post Description

I love Svelte and GraphQL. I do not like React. So, when I'm building APIs, I cringe when using the official GraphiQL interface.

I have free will and a Claude subscription so I made it happen. You can find it on npm as "@eeeooolll/graphiql" (@eol was taken).

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@eeeooolll/graphiql

I also upgraded my batteries-included GraphQL server to use it. You can find it on JSR.
