dotnet6-openapi VS apollo-client

.NET Web API has great tooling for generating OpenAPI on build. Once you have this, you can easily generate TypeScript bindings for your front-end. See also: https://github.com/CharlieDigital/dotnet6-openapi

This will scaffold a project which is more or less the exact same as Flask, Express, or any other "easy" framework.

OpenAPI output is built-in, but tooling for development does require a bit of knowledge (agree that Microsoft would benefit from making this work out of the box).

A small repo here showing how to connect OpenAPI and front-end TypeScript client generation: https://github.com/CharlieDigital/dotnet6-openapi

I have one example that shows how to do this with Vue and Svelte: https://github.com/CharlieDigital/dotnet6-openapi

A lot of the work I've done is closed source, but I do have a simple template here that is a typical starting point: https://github.com/CharlieDigital/dotnet6-openapi

Actually, it's worse than that. Next has started throwing errors if it statically detects you even _importing_ hooks inside of a React Server Component environment:

To the point that Lenz Weber( a maintainer of Apollo Client, and my co-maintainer on Redux Toolkit), is considering resorting to a package that wraps and re-exports all of React's public API just to avoid that static analysis:

Apollo Client (18k ⭐) -> A comprehensive state management library for JavaScript that enables you to manage both local and remote data with GraphQL. Use it to fetch, cache, and modify application data, all while automatically updating your UI.

This currently doesn't work as expected so I have logged this issue in apollo client repo.

I understand this has something to do with the fact, that SvelteKit expects the client and server code to be completely identical - this has already prompted changes to rxjs and apollo is still pending to be fixed. I understand the reason behind being able to run rxjs and apollo on the server but

There is a long-standing issue with error caching (its absence, that is), which leads to errors being rendered as a loading state on the server side. Therefore, if you're doing SSR, you might want to design your schema in such a way that there are no intentional errors in queries whatsoever. To do so, we can use null values instead of NOT_FOUND errors (see how we essentially treated errors as data here?). Note how nothing stops us from setting the response code to 404 in case of a null value, should we want so.

Lol apollo client too.. saw this issue opened like, immediately after the release https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/10231

There were some caching issues, outlined here https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/6916 to be aware of

If you look at how major backend projects structure their code, it's almost always object-oriented TypeScript.

I submit for the record:

[※Alert: The following is a code example using the Apollo Client notation, but the Apollo Client does not support Suspense at this time. Github issue about Suspense support: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/9627]
