Hygraph is a GraphQL-native Headless CMS designed to manage and deliver content for modern web applications, including those built with Qwik. It provides an API-first approach, allowing developers to fetch and display content using Qwik's useResource$ for asynchronous data operations. Content editors benefit from an intuitive interface, while developers enjoy precise data fetching and streamlined workflows. Learn more.
Setting up Hygraph for a Qwik project is straightforward. You can quickly create a Hygraph project, enable the content API, and use Qwik's useResource$ to fetch data from Hygraph's GraphQL endpoint. The process involves constructing a GraphQL query, securing your API requests with a bearer token, and displaying content in Qwik components. For step-by-step instructions, visit the Hygraph Getting Started Guide.

You can use Qwik's useResource$ hook to manage asynchronous operations and fetch data from Hygraph's GraphQL endpoint. The request uses the POST method, includes headers for content type and authorization (bearer token), and sends the GraphQL query as a JSON string. For code examples, see the Qwik CMS integration page.
Once content is fetched, you can use it in a Qwik component by passing the data as props and rendering it in your UI. The useResource$ hook manages the asynchronous fetching process, enabling responsive and user-friendly content display. See code examples on the integration page.
Key metrics include time saved on content updates, reduction in developer intervention, system uptime, speed of deployment, consistency in content across regions, user satisfaction scores, reduction in operational costs, ROI on CMS investment, speed to market, scalability metrics, and performance during peak usage. For more, see the CMS KPIs blog.
Hygraph is the ideal Headless CMS for Qwik websites and applications. Read further to learn how our API-first CMS allows you to add components to your Qwik apps in minutes and enable your website's content to be managed from a powerful CMS.
To fetch the content from the headless CMS you can use Qwik's useResource$ for managing asynchronous operations, such as fetching data. The fetch request is made to the Hygraph's GraphQL endpoint, using the POST method, and includes headers for content type and authorization.
The authorization header carries a bearer token for secure access which you can retrieve in your Hygraph project settings. The body of the request contains the GraphQL query as a JSON string.
import { component$, useResource$ } from '@builder.io/qwik';export const fetchData = component$(() => {const resource = useResource$(() => {return fetch('https://api-<region>.hygraph.com/v2/<some hash>/master', {method: 'POST',headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json','Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_HYGRAPH_TOKEN' // Add your token here},body: JSON.stringify({query: `YOUR_GRAPHQL_QUERY`,}),}).then(response => response.json()).catch(error => console.error('Error fetching data:', error));});return resource;});
One the content is fetched you can use it in a Qwik component. This component utilizes the fetchData function defined earlier to obtain resources. The useResource$ hook manages the asynchronous fetching process.
This approach provides a responsive and user-friendly way to handle and display content fetched from a GraphQL API in a Qwik application.
import { component$ } from '@builder.io/qwik';export default component$((props) => {const { data } = props;return (<div>{data && data.map(item => (<div key={item.id}><h2>{item.title}</h2><p>{item.description}</p></div>))}</div>);});
We made it really easy to set up your project in Hygraph and use our GraphQL API within your Qwik project.
Check out our docs to see how you can quickly set up your Hygraph project and enable the content API for your Qwik website or app.
Hygraph is GraphQL-native Headless CMS offers precise data retrieval, minimizing over-fetching and optimizing efficiency.
Look at some of the example projects to see Hygraph in action.
Using a GraphQL-native headless CMS such as Hygraph with a Qwik application benefits both developers and content editors. Developers enjoy a streamlined workflow, as GraphQL allows precise data fetching, reducing unnecessary data retrieval and boosting performance. This aligns well with Qwik's efficient handling of dynamic data.
Content editors, on the other hand, get an intuitive interface for managing content, free from concerns about the app's structure or performance. This separation enables editors to focus solely on content, while real-time updates via GraphQL facilitate a seamless, collaborative workflow between the editorial and development teams. The result is a more efficient content management process and a better end-user experience.
We try to be the most un-opinionated CMS on the market with a wide collection of open source example projects to get you started.
As a headless CMS (i.e. API based content management), you can be as modular and flexible as you need. We even support multiplatform content management.
