Discussion: Hydrate client in Sapper with less boilerplate

[justinmoon]

The example from the docs mostly works for me:

<script context="module">
  ...
  export async function preload() {
    return {
      cache: await client.query({   ...   })
    }
  }
</script>

<script>
  ...
  export let cache;
  restore(client, EVERYTHING, cache.data);
  setClient(client);
  ...
</script>
...

But it's very tiresome to include the restore and setClient calls on every page. Is it possible to define some kind of middleware which instantiates a client-side ApolloClient() instance and hydrates it from cache.data if the preload function returned a cache attribute?

I don't know svelte / sapper well enough to know if this is possible, but it seems like it should be!
