SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the repetitive Apollo and GraphQL wiring needed to fetch and mutate data in Drumr React components, so developers can focus on business logic instead of query setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified API Hooks: Use useApiFindById, useApiFindBy, useApiCreate, useApiUpdate, useApiDelete, useApiRefresh, and useApiAction for declarative data access.
  • Flexible Response Shapes: Choose plain data or rich field wrappers per call with format: 'data' or format: 'rich'.
  • Production Guardrails: Benefit from auto-executing queries, lazy mutations, implicit skip behavior, pagination, typed generics, and clear failure handling.
  • Use Case: A dashboard widget can load records, edit a single field, refresh metadata, and run an action without manually building GraphQL documents or effect-based fetching.

Quick Start

Use this skill to implement Drumr React components with the appropriate unified API hook, choosing either data or rich format and the correct operation for your fetch or mutation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce repetitive Apollo and GraphQL wiring for React hooks?▼

You can reduce repetitive Apollo and GraphQL wiring by using a declarative data-access layer that replaces manual query setup in functional components with unified API hooks for fetching and mutating data.

What's the best way to build CRUD React hooks without manual query setup?▼

The best way to build CRUD React hooks is using declarative API contracts like useApiCreate, useApiUpdate, and useApiDelete, which handle mutations lazily and manage query skipping automatically.

Can I choose different response formats for React API hooks?▼

Yes, you can choose different response formats for React API hooks by specifying format: 'data' for plain data or format: 'rich' for rich field wrappers per call.

Does this declarative API layer support pagination and typed generics?▼

Yes, this declarative API layer supports pagination and typed generics, providing production guardrails like automatic query skipping, lazy mutation execution, and clear failure handling for functional components.

How do I run custom actions and refresh metadata in React components without manual effects?▼

You can run custom actions and refresh metadata without manual effects by using dedicated useApiAction and useApiRefresh hooks, handling requests within a declarative data-access layer.

When should I not use a declarative API layer over manual Apollo wiring?▼

You should not use a declarative API layer if your functional components require highly custom GraphQL documents or complex effect-based fetching logic that falls outside standard CRUD operations and unified API contracts.
