apollo-link is a standard interface for modifying control flow of GraphQL requests and fetching GraphQL results, designed to provide a simple GraphQL client that is capable of extensions.
The targeted use cases of apollo-link are highlighted below:
- fetch queries directly without normalized cache
- network interface for Apollo Client
- network interface for Relay Modern

npm install apollo-link --save
To use apollo-link in a web browser or mobile app, you'll need a build system capable of loading NPM packages on the client. Some common choices include Browserify, Webpack, and Meteor +1.3.
Apollo Link uses Lerna to manage multiple packages. To get started contributing, run npm run bootstrap which will install all dependencies and connect the dependent projects with symlinks node_modules.
To start, begin by reading the getting started guide.
If you are interested in implementing your own links, read the implementation information.
