## What it is
A GraphQL client for Dart and Flutter providing queries, mutations, subscriptions, caching, and optimistic updates through a widget-based API. It is a monorepo containing the core `graphql` Dart client and the `graphql_flutter` widget wrapper, inspired by Apollo Client.

## Use cases
- consume a graphql api from a flutter app
- run graphql subscriptions over websockets in dart
- add optimistic updates and caching to flutter queries
- upload files via graphql mutations in flutter
- manage client-side graphql state in a mobile app
- poll and rebroadcast graphql queries in dart

## When to choose
- you are building a Flutter or Dart app that talks to a GraphQL server
- you need subscriptions, caching, or optimistic UI in Flutter
- you want an Apollo-like client experience on mobile

## When to avoid
- your backend is REST rather than GraphQL
- you need a pure Dart server-side client without Flutter widgets (the core `graphql` package may fit better)
- you rely on Automatic Persisted Queries, which is currently out of service

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: graphql-client, caching, state-management, websocket
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, apis, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: graphql, flutter, dart, apollo-inspired, subscriptions, optimistic-ui, mobile
