I have a content-type that heavily uses Slices - it has 8 and counting. I'm also using GraphQL. It would appear once you get to 178 lines in a GraphQL query, it becomes too large and your system rejects it out of hand. Can you confirm what the size limit is? What is the recommended strategy once th…

I think I found a solution to this @Fares . I did more research into what the reference GraphQL library gives us as developers. They built a really nice function that minifies queries for us: stripIgnoredCharacters. I implemented it today and it fixed my issue about large query sizes. Sample implem…

Hi John, Thanks for reporting this issue, If I understand correctly is the limit here is in the number of lines regardless of how big the response is. If that is the case can you please provide us with an example of your query to try to reproduce this issue? Note: You can share this info along wi…

So i've been able to reproduce this issue, I have done some research and what I understood is the problem comes from the length of Request-URI. And here is somebody that proposed a workaround for this. And here is blogpost that explains this workaround in details. Furthermore I will create an iss…

Interesting research Fares. This post on the Apollo site is very illuminating: [image] Persisted GraphQL Queries with Apollo Client Update: This post was originally written by Dhaivat Pandya in February 2017, but we’ve updated it since them (most recently in December 2017) to include the l…

Thank you John for sharing this workaround, very interesting.

I'm already compressing queries with graphql-query-compress , which certainly helps. But it's not a solution, just a workaround, simply moving the problem a little further away. I still expect to hit the limit again, since I'm still adding new slices to my project and each one makes the query larger. …

Hi @bart ,I totally agree that is just a workaround until we allow POST queries and there is already an issue for it.

Yes, like Fares said the team is planning to work on this, but it's not currently being worked on. We'll update you here if/when anything changes.
