+### Data fetching
+
+We use Apollo client which allows us to query data with GraphQL. We have setup CKAN API for the demo (it uses demo.ckan.org as DMS):
+
+http://portal.datopian1.now.sh/
+
+Note that we don't have Apollo Server but we connect CKAN API using [`apollo-link-rest`](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/link/links/rest/) module. You can see how it works in [lib/apolloClient.ts](https://github.com/datopian/portal/blob/master/lib/apolloClient.ts) and then have a look at [pages/\_app.tsx](https://github.com/datopian/portal/blob/master/pages/_app.tsx).
+
+For development/debugging purposes, we suggest installing the Chrome extension - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/apollo-client-developer-t/jdkknkkbebbapilgoeccciglkfbmbnfm.
+
+#### Pre-fetch data in the server-side
+
+When visiting a dataset page, you may want to fetch the dataset metadata in the server-side. To do so, you can use `getServerSideProps` function from NextJS:
+
+```javascript
+import { GetServerSideProps } from 'next';
+import { initializeApollo } from '../lib/apolloClient';
+import gql from 'graphql-tag';
+
+const QUERY = gql`
+  query dataset($id: String) {
+    dataset(id: $id) @rest(type: "Response", path: "package_show?{args}") {
+      result
+    }
+  }
+`;
+
+...
+
+export const getServerSideProps: GetServerSideProps = async (context) => {
+  const apolloClient = initializeApollo();
+
+  await apolloClient.query({
+    query: QUERY,
+    variables: {
+      id: 'my-dataset'
+    },
+  });
+
+  return {
+    props: {
+      initialApolloState: apolloClient.cache.extract(),
+    },
+  };
+};
+```
+
+This would fetch the data from DMS and save it in the Apollo cache so that we can query it again from the components.
+
+#### Access data from a component
+
+Consider situation when rendering a component for org info on the dataset page. We already have pre-fetched dataset metadata that includes `organization` property with attributes such as `name`, `title` etc. We can now query only organization part for our `Org` component:
+
+```javascript
+import { useQuery } from '@apollo/react-hooks';
+import gql from 'graphql-tag';
+
+export const GET_ORG_QUERY = gql`
+  query dataset($id: String) {
+    dataset(id: $id) @rest(type: "Response", path: "package_show?{args}") {
+      result {
+        organization {
+          name
+          title
+          image_url
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+`;
+
+export default function Org({ variables }) {
+  const { loading, error, data } = useQuery(
+    GET_ORG_QUERY,
+    {
+      variables: { id: 'my-dataset' }
+    }
+  );
+
+  ...
+
+  const { organization } = data.dataset.result;
+
+  return (
+    <>
+      {organization ? (
+        <>
+          <img
+            src={
+              organization.image_url
+            }
+            className="h-5 w-5 mr-2 inline-block"
+          />
+          <Link href={`/@${organization.name}`}>
+            <a className="font-semibold text-primary underline">
+              {organization.title || organization.name}
+            </a>
+          </Link>
+        </>
+      ) : (
+        ''
+      )}
+    </>
+  );
+}
+```
