# Multiple clients
You can specify multiple apollo clients if your app needs to connect to different GraphQL endpoints:
const defaultOptions = {
// You can use `wss` for secure connection (recommended in production)
// Use `null` to disable subscriptions
wsEndpoint: process.env.VUE_APP_GRAPHQL_WS || 'ws://localhost:4000/graphql',
// LocalStorage token
tokenName: AUTH_TOKEN,
// Enable Automatic Query persisting with Apollo Engine
persisting: false,
// Use websockets for everything (no HTTP)
// You need to pass a `wsEndpoint` for this to work
websocketsOnly: false,
// Is being rendered on the server?
ssr: false,
}
const clientAOptions = {
// You can use `https` for secure connection (recommended in production)
httpEndpoint: 'http://localhost:4000/graphql',
}
const clientBOptions = {
httpEndpoint: 'http://example.org/graphql',
}
// Call this in the Vue app file
export function createProvider (options = {}) {
const createA= createApolloClient({
...defaultOptions,
...clientAOptions,
});
const createB = createApolloClient({
...defaultOptions,
...clientBOptions,
});
const a = createA.apolloClient;
const b = createB.apolloClient;
// Create vue apollo provider
const apolloProvider = new VueApollo({
clients: {
a,
b
}
defaultClient: a,
})
In the component apollo
option, you can define the client for all the queries, subscriptions and mutations with $client
(only for this component):
export default {
apollo: {
$client: 'b',
},
}
You can also specify the client in individual queries, subscriptions and mutations with the client
property in the options:
tags: {
query: gql`...`,
client: 'b',
}
