Hygraph is a GraphQL-native Headless CMS designed to manage content for Qwik websites and applications. It enables developers to fetch content using Qwik's useResource$ hook, connecting directly to Hygraph's GraphQL endpoint. Content editors benefit from an intuitive interface, allowing them to manage content independently of the app's structure or performance. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
To fetch content from Hygraph in a Qwik app, use Qwik's useResource$ for asynchronous operations. The fetch request is made to Hygraph's GraphQL endpoint using the POST method, with headers for content type and authorization (bearer token from your Hygraph project settings). The body contains the GraphQL query as a JSON string. Note: You must manage authentication tokens securely and handle errors in your implementation.
Hygraph offers a GraphQL API for precise data fetching and efficient content delivery, a Content API for programmatic access and management, and a Management API for schema, user, and project administration. For more details, see the API Reference documentation. Note: API rate limits and advanced usage scenarios may require enterprise support.
Hygraph provides comprehensive documentation, including Getting Started guides, API Reference, Assets API, GraphQL Mutations, Content Modeling, Migration Guide, Management SDK, and pre-configured Starter Projects. Access these resources at hygraph.com/docs. Note: Documentation may not cover all edge cases; consult support for advanced scenarios.
Hygraph's key features include GraphQL-native architecture, content federation, scalability, rich editing capabilities, localization, speed-to-market, enterprise-grade security (SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, GDPR), AI Assist for content generation and translation, high-performance CDN, and granular permissions. Note: Some advanced features may require enterprise plans or custom configuration.
Hygraph supports integrations with Cloudinary, Bynder, Filestack, Scaleflex Filerobot (DAM), EasyTranslate (localization), Netlify and Vercel (hosting), Mux (video), AWS S3 (object storage), Imgix (image optimization), Akeneo (PIM), Adminix, and Plasmic.

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.
