 # aws-appsync-react
+
+This package provides the following helpers which are needed when working with the SDK on a React project.
+
+- `Rehydrated`
+- `graphqlMutation`
+
+----
+## `Rehydrated`
+
+A React component that you need to wrap your app with, when working with Apollo, React & a custom client created with `aws-appsync`. It makes sure
+to wait for a client hydration in an offline environment.
+
+### Import
+```
+import { Rehydrated } from 'aws-appsync-react'
+```
+
+### Props
+
+| Prop name     | Required      | Details |
+| ------------- |:-------------:| :-------|
+| children      | false         | The React Element(s) to show when the client is fully hydrated |
+| loading       | false         | The React Element to show while the client is hydrating. Defaults to the text element `Loading...` |
+| render        | false         | A render-props function that has a single object parameter containing a boolean `rehydrated` and should return a React node. It's signature is: `({ rehydrated: boolean }) => React.ReactNode` |
+
+ Although the props `children` and `render` are mutually exclusive, **at least** one of them should be defined.
+
+
+### Example
+```
+import { ApolloProvider } from 'react-apollo';
+import { Rehydrated } from 'aws-appsync-react'; 
+import App from './App';
+
+const client = /* ... */
+
+const WithProvider = () => (
+  <ApolloProvider client={client}>
+    <Rehydrated>
+      <App />
+    </Rehydrated>
+  </ApolloProvider>
+)
+
+export default WithProvider
+```
+
+## `graphqlMutation`
+
+Full documentation for this helper can be found in the [Offline Helpers API page](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-mobile-appsync-sdk-js/blob/master/OFFLINE_HELPERS.md).
