Special options

The special options begin with $ in the apollo object.

• $skip to disable all queries and subscriptions (see below)
• $skipAllQueries to disable all queries (see below)
• $skipAllSubscriptions to disable all subscriptions (see below)
• $deep to watch with deep: true on the properties above when a function is provided
• $error to catch errors in a default handler (see error advanced options for smart queries)
• $query to apply default options to all the queries in the component

Example:

<script>
export default {
  data () {
    return {
      loading: 0,
    }
  },
  apollo: {
    $query: {
      loadingKey: 'loading',
    },
    query1: { ... },
    query2: { ... },
  },
}
</script>

You can define in the apollo provider a default set of options to apply to the apollo definitions. For example:

const apolloProvider = new VueApollo({
  defaultClient: apolloClient,
  defaultOptions: {
    // apollo options applied to all queries in components
    $query: {
      loadingKey: 'loading',
      fetchPolicy: 'cache-and-network',
    },
  },
})
