gqless VS wundergraph-demo

Maybe GQLess is for you? It's a client that magically creates a query from they way you use objects in your react components.

Yes! We announced experimental support earlier and here's the new spec we're implementing that will support all databases and remote schemas too.

General support for inherited roles is one of the things I'm most excited about because it makes a bunch of hard things around reusing and composition so easy.

This improvement plays really well along with things like "role-based schemas" so that GraphQL clients have access to just the exact GraphQL schema they should be able to access - which is in turn composed by putting multiple scopes together into one role.

Also interesting is how well this could play with other innovations on the GraphQL client ecosystem like gqless[1] and graphql-zeus[2] because now there's a typesafe and secure SDK for really smooth developer experience on the client side.

GQless: A GraphQL client built for rapid iteration\ (6 comments)

Cannot recommend gqless highly enough for making graphql actually fun to use and closer to something like meteor/firebase syntax[0].

And I’ll self-promote, but I’ve been working on what I consider to be a “next generation” style system for React that solves my biggest issue with it currently: being able to performantly write styles in a nice syntax that optimize for both web and native. Called SnackUI, though it’s still in beta[1].

On the GraphQL side you can use gqless[0] (or the improved fork I helped sponsor, here[1]). It's by far the best DX I've had for any data fetching library: fully typed calls, no strings at all, no duplication of code or weird importing, no compiler, and it resolves the entire tree and creates a single fetch call.

If you want to follow along and experience these patterns yourself, you can clone this repository and play around.

Thanks to our GraphQL Operation Compiler, we're in a unique position that allows us to only send the "Operation Name" as well as the "Variables" to the server. This approach makes our GraphQL API much more secure as it hides it behind a JSON-RPC API. You can check out an example here, and we're also open sourcing the solution soon.

I've been working on this problem for a few years actually. What I came to realize is that 99% of all (GraphQL) APIs are private, meaning that we don't expose them to a 3rd party. One aspect of private GraphQL APIs that is almost always true is that the access patterns don't change at runtime, meaning that when deployed to production, the Operations don't change any more. What this means is that in production, we don't really need GraphQL. We don't benefit from GraphQL in production anymore, as we're not writing dynamic Operations. Instead, we could compile the GraphQL Operations that we need into a REST API. This step adds extra complexity, but reduced the attack surface and improves performance. To reduce the overhead, I've created a developer tool. WunderGraph! It compiles your GraphQL APIs into REST Endpoints and generates typesafe clients for them. The DX is still the same, you write GraphQL Operations and use a typesafe client. But behind the scenes, it's just REST. We even generate a Postman Collection, so you can easily share the generated API with your team. Here's a demo if you'd like to try it: https://github.com/wundergraph/wundergraph-demo We're open-sourcing the solution very soon! =)

Alternatively, you can also just run "wunderctl init --template nextjs-starter" to start with the NextJS template. (Obviously you need to install it first: yarn global add @wundergraph/wunderctl@latest)

We're going open source with this solution soon. So, any feedback is appreciated! You can also join our discord and shoot questions. =)

WunderGraph: click here!

It's already possible. Here's a demo: https://github.com/wundergraph/wundergraph-demo

Shameless plug, you can use Federation, Schema Stitching, REST APIs, etc. all together and even transition from one to the other, here's a demo: https://github.com/wundergraph/wundergraph-demo
