Hello! 2
What is GraphQL 3
4 GraphQL is a syntax that describes how to ask
for data, and is generally used to load data from a server to a client. In other words
5 GraphQL is a query language for your API
6
7 JavaScript Typescript Ruby PHP Python Java C/C++ Perl .NET
Erlang Elixar Haskel Rust Lua Scala Clojure ClojureScript Swift OCaml SQL R Elm GraphQL supports a whole lot of languages and frameworks
8 GraphQL supports a whole lot of languages and frameworks
Kotlin GO Crystal
Companies using GraphQL 9 http://blog.honeypot.io/assets/images/ql-companies.png
Let that sink in! 10 REST APIs returns resources you
do not need, that’s why you have a bunch of endpoint’s you do not need
11
12 GraphQL To The Rescue
Ask for what you need, and get exactly that. NO
EXTRAS 13 Send a GraphQL query to your API and get exactly what you need, nothing more and nothing less. Apps using GraphQL are fast and stable because they control the data they get, not the server.
14 { viewer { name email } } Example
15 { viewer { name email } } Example
16 { "data": { "viewer": { "name": "Shodipo Ayomide", "email":
"
[email protected]
" } } } { viewer { name email } } POST: https://api.github.com/graphql
17 { user(login: "developerayo") { name location repositories { name
} } } Example
18 { user(login: "developerayo") { name location repositories { name
} } } POST: https://api.github.com/graphql { "data": { "user": { "name": “Shodipo Ayomide", "location": “Lagos, Nigeria", "repositories": [ { "name": “awesome-nuxtjs" }, { "name": “react-notify" }, { "name": “shodipoayomide.com" }, ... } } }
Versioning made easy 19 Add new fields and types to
your GraphQL API without impacting existing queries “think GitHub PR”. encourage cleaner, more maintainable server code.
20 GET /GraphQL Request Body Response Body query { post(id:
1) { id title tagline votesCount commentsCount thumbnailUrl hunter: { id avatarUrl } } }
21 GET /GraphQL Request Body Response Body query { post(id:
1) { id title tagline votesCount commentsCount thumbnailUrl hunter: { id avatarUrl } } }
22 GET /GraphQL Request Body Response Body query { post(id:
1) { id title tagline votesCount commentsCount thumbnailUrl hunter: { id avatarUrl } } } { "data": { "post": { "id": 1, "title": "Developerayo’s Blog", "tagline": "Articles on Soft.", "votesCount": 490, "commentsCount": 7,648, "thumbnailUrl": "google.com/tbn" "hunter": { "id": 1, "avatarUrl": "google.com/tbn" } } } }
