Building a CSS tricks website clone with Webiny and NextJS
Alternatively, you can use Apollo GraphQL or any dependency of your choice to make API request.

The Stack #2
When you talk about GraphQL, one simply cannot forget GraphQL Tools irrespective of the architecture or stack you use. Initially developed by Apollo and then taken over by The Guild, GraphQL Tools provides you a very powerful set of utility functions to work with GraphQL which you can use in your services irrespective of whethere you are using something like Apollo Federation or Schema Stitching.
-
The Stack #3
The Apollo CLI when combined with Federation does come with a lot of helpers to take care of things like pushing the schema, listing the services in the studio, doing codegen and so on though I am not currently sure why they are rewriting it again to Rust apart from the reasons as suggested here.

Here's how to take a GraphQL schema and get typed queries & results out of the box
This is great, thanks. I'm wondering if you still need to explicitly reference types, such as with Apollo's codegen where you would do something like useQuery or is it fully automatic like in the gif in the article?

JavaScript News and Updates of January 2022
Early this month, the malicious attack on free-to-use libraries, namely color.js and faker.js, created a real uproar in the development community. These tools are used in thousands of projects and their downloading rate from npm is estimated in millions per week. To everyone’s surprise, it turned out to be an inside job. Marak Squires, the creator of these libraries, intentionally committed malicious code to his projects and published updated codebases on GitHub and npm. It is said that this sabotage was caused by unsuccessful attempts of Mr. Squires to monetize his projects. Fortunately, malicious packages were quickly removed and the attacker’s account was suspended. The story sparked a new wave of discussion in the development community on possible steps to make the development and maintenance of open-source projects more sustainable.

Is there something wrong with OpenSource model?
So people, I've been reading the news regarding some great packages on GitHub, like the Colors and the Faker. I understand that this isn't related entirely with the linux community, but it is something that we should pay attention.

Re: the faker.js debacle: A daily reminder that htmx & hyperscript are dependency free
A developer appears to have purposefully corrupted a pair of open-source libraries on GitHub and software registry npm — “faker.js” and “colors.js” — that thousands of users depend on, rendering any project that contains these libraries useless, as reported by Bleeping Computer.

Open source developer corrupts widely-used libraries, affecting tons of projects
I mean he also maliciously changed all of the links on a faker.js issue to point to conspiracy theories (which I am pretty sure is against Github's TOS): https://github.com/Marak/faker.js/pull/2

The EndGame - Fakerjs
About Four (4) Days Ago, the Author of Fakerjs a popular JavaScript library with more than 2 million weekly Download from NPM Deleted the repository and replaced it with one that only has the modified ReadMe "What really happened with Aaron Swartz?" and no content, and pushed an empty package to npm as the latest version (6.6.6).
- Marak, creator of faker.js who recently deleted the project due to lack of funding and abuse of open source projects/developers pushed some strange Anti American update which has an infinite loop
- Marak adds infinite loop test to popular colors.js
