Is it possible to use subscription without query?

I try to create react component, which uses only one subscription, no query. But If I do not add a query to component I do not have access to subscribeToMore fn.

Is there any way (sample) how to use subscription without query? All tutorials use a subscription with query.

As a workaround, I add dummy query to component and it looks like it works

Thanks

Hi @goldo i used v2 and found the way to get subs directly without subscribeToMore. Make sure your apollo-link-ws and subscriptions-transport-ws is uptodate.

For example, here is one of my component:

const StreamAddedSubs = graphql(subsOnStreamAdded)(
  class extends Component {
    componentWillReceiveProps({
      data: { data: { onStreamAdded: newStream } }
    }) {
      console.log("STREAM ADDED SUBS", newStream);
    }

    render() {
      return null;
    }
  }
);

IMHO, using subs without subscribeToMore should be added to official doc to avoid confusion.

Hello @jbaxleyiii @nascode Do you happen to know how to unsubscribe this way? I am currently querying fake data to be able to unsubscribe on demand using the returned method of subscribeToMore.
