> FYI, GraphiQL is deprecated, GraphQL Playground is a good alternative.

You have this backwards.

GraphQL is declarative and self-documenting by nature. There’s a single endpoint, and all available data, relationships, and APIs can be explored and consumed by client teams (via the GraphiQL interface or just Introspection) without constantly going back and forth with backend teams.

GraphiQL is one of the most well-known GraphQL IDEs. Originally developed by Facebook, it is an in-browser tool that enables developers to write, validate, and test GraphQL queries. It is open-source and can be integrated into any project that uses GraphQL. Recently, GraphiQL has been revamped with a new UI and several new features as you can read in ths blog post I wrote earlier.

Nice! I think you might like it.

Ah yeah, that does take a while to unpack. I think a lot of the complexity there is dealing with a non-react library and the dynamic import(s). Binding non-react libraries can be a bit rough.

I do think it's a good example to show the big advantage of hooks, if you look at the use of the hook, super clean: https://github.com/graphql/graphiql/blob/50674292c55eadf0e61...

Great way to contain complexity and make usage really clean and simple!

After GraphQL Playground became part of the GraphQL Foundation, the need for having just one GraphQL IDE became more important. So the GraphQL Foundation decided to merge GraphiQL and GraphQL Playground into one tool. GraphiQL 1 relied on major tech debt and multiple dependencies that were outdated and hard to maintain. With the merge of GraphiQL and GraphQL Playground, the GraphQL Foundation decided to create a new version of GraphiQL, which is now called GraphiQL 2. The design and creation of GraphiQL 2 was all documented in Github.

#3: As I mentioned above, we use GraphQL Code Generator for generating TypeScript types and composables, as well as type checking our queries against the schema. This results in fully type-safe code from the back-end all the way to the front-end. As far as editor extensions go, the GraphQL: Language Feature Support VSCode extension should work fine, I use the language server part of that extension with Neovim. It provides autocompletion based on the schema and diagnostics. It looks like it might not work in .vue files though.

OneGraphiQL is a data explorer that allows us to build up our GraphQL queries and mutations. It is the OneGraph implementation of GraphiQL, which can be used with any GraphQL endpoint. GraphiQL is the perfect way to discover the different things we can request. It is generated from the GraphQL schema and provides helpful documentation for the graph's queries, mutations and types. Additionally, it can intelligently suggest options while we are building our queries and mutations.

If this is a critical functionality, you could raise an issue (with proper reasons why it is important) for sort support either in graphql-js or GraphiQL (guessing this would be a better place) repositories.

They developed a solution, and open sourced it as GraphQL.

I'm using the Official GraphQL, HowToGraphQL and several other websites to curate my own notes on GraphQL.

Your cloud architecture, system design and project leadership skills should be more important than language specifics when interviewing. That being said, I recommend learning about Node.js internals (e.g. the event loop); ES6+ language improvements; and some trending tools and libraries like TypeScript, Docker, Serverless Framework and GraphQL. Know enough about Express and serverless functions justify using one over the other when designing a system.

API stands for Application Programming Interface. APIs define how two pieces of software can connect and talk to each other. If your application were a big company, your API's job would be to keep in touch with external parties (customers or company partners, for example). Most APIs are organized around some standard, like REST or GraphQL, so that everybody knows how to use them.

GraphQL is developed by Facebook initially for their mobile app and has been adopted widely across web apps.

Last week, I built a microservice: a resource for a section of the landing page of the platform, which renders from a database loaded with data. In technical terms, I built and consumed an API. I used Dynamo DB (a database provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS))) to store my data, creating a table with desired fields for me to use in populating my table. GraphQL was used as playground for me to query and mutate my database. i.e. a way of creating, reading, updating and deleting information from the database, a process technically known as CRUD.

GraphQL, if you are not familiar, is a way of having APIs which are query-able similar to SQL for a database.

More than that, it's a good idea for storing non-sensitive data across the application. It might be a Redux or GraphQL state or some global app-wide variables. On the other hand, you shouldn’t use that for storing tokens and secrets, as the storage is not encrypted in any way.

AWS AppSync is a fully managed GraphQL API which is a serverless offering by AWS.
