graphql-eslint VS gqlgen

You can read more on this blog post and also check out the new graphql-eslint website (with the online interactive playground)

GraphQL ESLint for validation, linting, and checking for best practices and conventions (like all resolvers must be camel case!!! 💀).

## Next Steps Check out [the roadmap for the V4 version](https://github.com/B2o5T/graphql-eslint/issues/981), the next major will be released once ESLint 9 will out and of course, propose your suggestions 🙂. Don't forget to give a star ⭐️ for [GraphQL-ESLint](https://github.com/B2o5T/graphql-eslint) if you like it! And Happy New 2023 Year! 🎄🎉 🥂 ### Community Thanks to our contributors @FloEdelmann, @TuvalSimha and @tshedor.

This is cool. How much overlap does it have and/or not have with https://github.com/B2o5T/graphql-eslint ?

Those could be standards that are specific for a single codebase or shared in the community. As the GraphQL ecosystem is growing quickly, we decided it's important to create a modern integration between GraphQL and ESLint, that supports all the modern needs of a GraphQL developer: graphql-eslint.

Want to have ESLint support to enforce standards and maintain sanity across your team, try something like GraphQL ESLint and set it up with your preferred conventions.

GraphQL ESLint

In the previous blog, we had started going through "The GraphQL Stack" that we use at Timecampus going through various libraries and tools like VSCode, GraphQL Config, VSCode GraphQL, GraphQL ESLint, GraphQL Inspector, Typescript, GraphQL Helix and GraphQL Codegen. In this blog, we will continue our journey exploring from where we left off.

GraphQL’s spec, as it turns out, does not specify how servers should handle internal errors at all, leaving it entirely to the choice of the frameworks’ creators. Take for example our GoLang GraphQL framework of choice - gqlgen. It makes no distinction between intentional and unexpected errors: all errors are returned as-is to the client within the error message. Internal errors, which often contain sensitive information like network details and internal URIs, would leak to clients easily if not caught manually by the programmer.

Better look into this one: https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen for GraphQL powered by Go. It's spec first approach and requires the least boilerplate code to write. It also incorporates seamlessly with Apollo Federation.

I left PHP for Go.

- with http://sqlc.dev I don't have to write ORM or model code anymore.

- with http://goa.design I can have well-documented API's that any team can generate a client for in any language. It also generates the HTTP JSON and gRPC servers for me so I can focus on my logic.

- with https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen I can define GraphQL revolvers that play well with sqlc (any RDBMS) or I can use a key-value store.

- speaking of key-value stores, Go allows them to be embedded! Even SQLite now has the https://litestream.io/ project to make it super simple to use a durable, always backed-up SQLite database even in a serverless context.

Go is faster, uses less memory, and has really-well designed stdlib without all the bugs I used to face trying to use the PHP stdlib.

Gqlgen if I need GraphQL

Some of these features are inspired by gqlgen so check it out if you need a Golang GraphQL server implementation.

If you want to use GraphQL: https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen

In addition to the ones you mentioned, I also always use: + sqlc - Compile SQL to type-safe code + gqlgen - generate GraphQL server from schema + oapi-codegen - Go client and server boilerplate from OpenAPI 3 specifications + pester - Go http calls with retries and backoff + backoff - exponential backoff algorithm in Go

I have no experience in Django but in Ent with GraphQL.

Ent is not a full-featured web framework so you need to implement many of features by your own or use other libraries (e.g. http server and session management).

If you are only looking for ORM + GraphQL then I highly recommend trying Entgql, an Ent extension for GraphQL with Gqlgen library [1]. Once you define an ORM schema, it will generate GraphQL Query for Relay server. Still you need to implement GraphQL Mutations by your own but at least it will create Input types for you (both for Create/Update).

gqlgen for GraphQL services. It's well documented and maintained.

For me sqlc work wonders. If you are developing a user facing api and are fine to go with graphql, with gqlgen you can even autobind (search the page for @goModel) the models that sqlc generates from your queries. A glorious match
