Request handling - RxJs Map Operators

[LexanRed]

Hi there,

I am using NgRx SignalStore as a state management tool and right now I only use Apollo Angular as a GraphQL request tool. I disabled all the caching mechanisms.

All requests are wrapped in NgRx operators like switchMap, exhaustMap, concatMap or mergeMap. However i realized that they don't do anything to the actual requests sent. Apollo Angular seems to manage that, which I do not want.

I found an option "queryDeduplication". If that is set to false, every query is sent to the server, which is not what I want. I want control over the requests.

If I use the fetch() method on the generated services, I have zero control. If I use watch().valuechanges.pipe(take(1)), I get some control back but only for queries, not for mutations. take(1) is important, because otherwise the observable never completes. It feels wrong to use it that way.

Maybe Apollo Angular is the wrong tool for me. I know, that I could use the httpClient for this as well, but I want at least typesafe request and response types.

If anyone either knows how to configure apollo-angular in a way to not interfere with the request handling and only executes them as it is told or how to configure graphql-codegen to generate services that use the plain httpClient from Angular, please share your ideas.

Thanks a lot!
