Use Case Guide

Test GraphQL Subscriptions

Inspect the underlying WebSocket messages for your GraphQL subscriptions. Verify that your UI reacts correctly to real-time updates.

The Problem

Subscriptions are often 'silent' until they fail, making it hard to know if the connection is active or if the server has stopped sending data.

The DevConsole Solution

DevConsole hooks into the Apollo/Relay transport layer to show you a clean log of every GraphQL event sent over the wire.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Select the Subscription

DevConsole identifies active GraphQL subscriptions in your app.

Monitor the Stream

Watch updates flow in and see the exact object structure your frontend receives.

Simulate Server Closure

Manually close the connection context to test your app's reconnection and error state UI.
