GraphQL Operation to React Component Scaffold Generator

Free GraphQL Operation to React Component Scaffold Generator

Paste a GraphQL operation — a query or mutation, not a full schema — to generate a starting-point React component scaffold: a props/data interface and a component body with an Apollo Client useQuery stub already wired up.

How to Use It

Paste a GraphQL operation into the input box, or click "Load Example" to see a sample run. Unlike the other GraphQL tools on this site, this one takes an operation (a query or mutation block with a selection set) rather than a schema. The tool parses the operation, reads its top-level selected fields, and generates a component that embeds your query text in a gql tag, calls useQuery, and renders each top-level field as a placeholder <div>{data?.fieldName}</div>.

Example

A query GetUser { user(id: "1") { id name email } } operation generates a UserView component with a UserQueryData interface describing a user field, a useQuery<UserQueryData>(QUERY) call, and a <div>{data?.user}</div> placeholder for you to replace with real markup.

Common Use Cases

FAQs

Is the generated component complete and ready to run?

No — this is intentionally a best-effort scaffold, not complete, runnable, or styled code. It assumes you're using Apollo Client and its useQuery hook; if you use a different GraphQL client (Relay, urql, raw fetch, etc.), you'll need to swap that part out entirely. The JSX placeholders (<div>{data?.fieldName}</div>) are unstyled stand-ins, loading and error handling are minimal, and you'll still need to build the actual UI, choose your GraphQL client if not Apollo, and handle loading/error states properly before shipping it.

Why does it want an operation instead of a schema?

A component renders the result of running one specific query or mutation, not an entire schema — so this tool needs the actual operation (with its selection set) to know which fields the component should expect back in data.

Is my operation uploaded anywhere?

No — parsing and scaffold generation happen entirely client-side in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to a server.
