 # AbsintheClient
 
-An Elixir GraphQL client designed for Absinthe.
+[![CI](https://github.com/CargoSense/absinthe_client/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/CargoSense/absinthe_client/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
+[![Docs](https://img.shields.io/badge/hex.pm-docs-8e7ce6.svg)](https://hexdocs.pm/absinthe_client)
+[![Hex pm](http://img.shields.io/hexpm/v/absinthe_client.svg?style=flat&color=brightgreen)](https://hex.pm/packages/absinthe_client)
 
-## Installation
+A GraphQL client designed for Elixir [Absinthe][absinthe].
 
-If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed
-by adding `absinthe_client` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
+## Features
+
+- Performs `query` and `mutation` operations via JSON POST requests.
+
+- Performs `subscription` operations over WebSockets ([Absinthe Phoenix][absinthe_phoenix]).
+
+- Automatically re-establishes subscriptions on socket disconnect/reconnect.
+
+- Supports virtually all [`Req.request/1`][request] options, notably:
+
+  - Bearer authentication (via the [`auth`][req_auth] step).
+
+  - Retries on errors (via the [`retry`][req_retry] step).
+
+## Usage
+
+The fastest way to use AbsintheClient is with [`Mix.install/2`][install] (requires Elixir v1.12+):
+
+```elixir
+Mix.install([
+  {:absinthe_client, "~> 0.1.0"}
+])
+
+Req.new(base_url: "https://rickandmortyapi.com")
+|> AbsintheClient.attach()
+|> Req.post!(graphql: "query { character(id: 1) { name } }").body
+#=> %{"data" => "character" => %{"name" => "Rick Sanchez"}}}
+```
+
+If you want to use AbsintheClient in a Mix project, you can add the above dependency to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`.
+
+AbsintheClient is intended to be used by building a common client
+struct with a `base_url` and re-using it on each operation:
+
+```elixir
+base_url = "https://rickandmortyapi.com"
+req = Req.new(base_url: base_url) |> AbsintheClient.attach()
+
+Req.post!(req, graphql: "query { character(id: 2) { name } }").body
+#=> %{"data" => "character" => %{"name" => "Morty Smith"}}}
+```
+
+Refer to [`AbsintheClient`][client] for more information on available options.
+
+### Subscriptions (WebSockets)
+
+AbsintheClient supports WebSocket operations via a custom Req adapter.
+You must first start the WebSocket connection, then you make the
+request with [`Req.request/2`][request2]:
+
+```elixir
+base_url = "https://my-absinthe-server"
+req = Req.new(base_url: base_url) |> AbsintheClient.attach()
+
+ws = AbsintheClient.WebSocket.connect!(req, url: "/socket/websocket")
+
+Req.request!(req, web_socket: ws, graphql: "subscription ...").body
+#=> %AbsintheClient.WebSocket.Subscription{}
+```
+
+Note that although AbsintheClient _can_ use the `:web_socket` option
+to execute all GraphQL operation types, in most cases it should
+continue to use HTTP for queries and mutations. This is because
+queries and mutations do not require a stateful or long-lived
+connection and depending on the number of concurrent requests it may
+be more efficient to avoid blocking the socket for those operations.
+
+Refer to [`AbsintheClient.attach/2`][attach2] for more information on handling subscriptions.
+
+### Authentication
+
+AbsintheClient supports Bearer authentication for HTTP and WebSocket operations:
+
+```elixir
+base_url = "https://my-absinthe-server"
+auth = {:bearer, "token"}
+req = Req.new(base_url: base_url, auth: auth) |> AbsintheClient.attach()
+
+# ?Authentication=Bearer+token will be sent on the connect request.
+ws = AbsintheClient.WebSocket.connect(req, url: "/socket/websocket")
+```
+
+If you use your client to authenticate then you can set `:auth` by
+merging options:
 
 ```elixir
-def deps do
-  [
-    {:absinthe_client, "~> 0.1.0"}
-  ]
-end
+base_url = "https://my-absinthe-server"
+req = Req.new(base_url: base_url) |> AbsintheClient.attach()
+
+doc = "mutation { login($input) { token } }"
+graphql = {doc, %{user: "root", password: ""}}
+token = Req.post!(req, graphql: graphql).body["data"]["login"]["token"]
+req = Req.Request.merge_options(req, auth: {:bearer, token})
 ```

+## Why AbsintheClient?
+
+There is another popular GraphQL library for Elixir called [Neuron][neuron].
+So why choose AbsintheClient? In short, you might use AbsintheClient if you
+need Absinthe Phoenix subscription support, if you want to avoid global
+configuration, and if you want to declaratively build your requests. For
+comparison:
+
+|                    | AbsintheClient                                      | Neuron                                      |
+| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| **HTTP**           | [Req][req], [Finch][finch]                          | [HTTPoison][httpoison], [hackney][hackney]  |
+| **WebSockets**     | [Slipstream][slipstream], [Mint.WebSocket][mint_ws] | n/a                                         |
+| **Configuration**  | `%Req.Request{}`                                    | Application and Process-based               |
+| **Request style**  | Declarative, builds a struct                        | Imperative, invokes a function              |
+
+
+## Acknowledgements
+
+AbsintheClient is built on top of the [Req][req] requests library for HTTP and the [Slipstream][slipstream] WebSocket library for Phoenix Channels.
