GraphQL for .NET VS vite

The way that’s done in Visualizer is quite specific to my needs and to the library that I’m using, called GraphQl-Dotnet.

I'm starting a brand new project. Looks like if we want to do GraphQL in .NET, it's either graphql-dotnet or Hot Chocolate. Both look pretty good on paper.

This is a template API using Clean Architecture alongside a .net implementation of GraphQL.

Customising the default ParallelExecutionStrategy is harder though. The best way to achieve this is to take the existing source code and modify it. The key section we need to modify is the last part of the try/catch in ExecuteNodeTreeAsync:

Because it can depend on the context. I know the PHP Laravel integration for GraphQL I used was leveraging the Carbon interface instead of PHP's native Date type. In NestJS the integrated solution allows you to choose whether to use UNIX timestamps or ISO datetimes. TypeGraphQL does something similar if I'm not wrong, and the .NET library added a bunch of date-related scalars in a PR they made for v2.

If you're loving your current stack, you should stick with it :) But, if you're experiencing some of the problems described in the article, you might want to try Apollo. It's incrementally adoptable, so you don't have to rewrite your whole app to start using it. There's also a community maintained .NET implementation of GraphQL, so you could use that for your graph and use Apollo Client to connect it to the frontend.

As of this writing, initializing a Hattip project requires some manual commands. However, keep in mind that a zero-config development environment based on Vite is in the works.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite' import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react' // https://vitejs.dev/config/ export default defineConfig({ plugins: [react()], server: { port: 4200, } })

For the frontend of "I Disappear," I leverage the automated build & deploy system provided by Netlify, which seamlessly integrates with Vite. This setup ensures that every deployment is optimized for performance, utilizing Vite’s modern build tools to enhance speed and efficiency.

Given our team's collective proficiency within the React ecosystem, we decided to leverage this expertise for our project. Initially, we contemplated utilizing Next.js; however, due to the limited practical experience with this technology among key engineers and the pressing timeline to develop the first prototype, we opted for a Single Page Application(SPA) approach. For bundling, we selected Vite, primarily due to its super fast build times, simplicity of configuration, and potential for a nearly seamless transition to server-side rendering.

We are continuing to add new project templates for various types of projects, and we've recently created one for the infamous combination of React with Vite tooling.

Vite focuses on providing an extremely fast development server and workflow speed in web development. It uses its own ES module imports during development, speeding up the startup time.

Vite and Next.js are both top 5 modern development framework right now. They are both great depending on your use case so we’ll discuss 4 areas: Architecture, main features, developer experience and production readiness. After learning about these we’ll have a better idea of which one is best for your project.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite' import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react-swc' import path from 'path' // https://vitejs.dev/config/ export default defineConfig({ plugins: [react()], server: { port: 3000 }, css: { devSourcemap: true }, resolve: { alias: { '~': path.resolve(__dirname, './src') } } })

I am currently utilizing Vite:
