📦 Releases

All new releases and updates are listed on GitHub with full changelogs. Each package in this repository further contains an independent CHANGELOG.md file with the historical changelog, for instance, here’s @urql/core’s changelog.

If you’re upgrading to v4, check out our migration guide, posted as an issue.

New releases are prepared using changesets, which are changelog entries added to each PR, and we have “Version Packages” PRs that once merged will release new versions of urql packages. You can use @canary releases from npm if you’d like to get a preview of the merged changes.

📃 Documentation

The documentation contains everything you need to know about urql, and contains several sections in order of importance when you first get started:

• Basics — contains the "Getting Started" guide and all you need to know when first using urql.
• Architecture — explains how urql functions and is built.
• Advanced — covers more uncommon use-cases and things you don't immediately need when getting started.
• Graphcache — documents "Normalized Caching" support which enables more complex apps and use-cases.
• API — the API documentation for each individual package.

Furthermore, all APIs and packages are self-documented using TSDocs. If you’re using a language server for TypeScript, the documentation for each API should pop up in your editor when hovering urql’s code and APIs.

You can find the raw markdown files inside this repository's docs folder.
