Hot Chocolate VS kanka

There are some libraries which allows you to declare some class with more or less arbitrary methods which will be called by it at runtime. I believe many of them do that in optimal way, not just using usual reflection. One of the examples is HotChocolate library https://github.com/ChilliCream/hotchocolate . You declare class with arbitrary methods which contain arbitrary arguments. "Arbitrary" doesn mean arbitrary at all, but if parameter type is registered in DI or marked by specific attribute, it can be passed to the method.

At work we are considering using GraphQL to build our read-only data-APIs using .NET 6, EF Core and SQL Server. Looking at the ecosystem the most relevant plattforms seems to be graphql-dotnet and ChilliCream.

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.

If you know it better: Please try statically typed generated graphql queries in C# (like write the graphql queries, have a graphql schema, then get generated C# types which resemble the query, the only thing I've found that could do it was https://chillicream.com/docs/strawberryshake and there I quickly hit this bug with super simple queries containing unions: https://github.com/ChilliCream/hotchocolate/issues/4662

If you don't know Hot Chocolate framework, feel free to read about it on chillicream.com (official website) and feel free to join the great community (which is always willing to help) on slack

I love using Hot Chocolate in C# ❤

Hotchocolate GraphQL server. This is the most advanced server for a .Net environment. This article does not go into the basics and assumes some framework knowledge.

I think for the time being that's the case, yeah. I'm confirming with the great people over at https://github.com/ChilliCream/hotchocolate to see if we can somehow work around that.

If you know your way around Docker or can set up a php -environment you can host Kanka yourself.

Here is the github repository. There is a bit of a tutorial there but I don't know how good it is as it did not exist when I was building my instance (I also think it uses Docker, while I just host on Windows with WAMP).

Here's the Github page

Yeah, you can find the github here. I use Wampserver to host it.

Open Source, and easily self-hostable ideally via a docker container similar to kanka

We also use kanka.io as a player resource. They take turns writing the journal entry for the current session, linking up NPCs, locations etc, and making notes of the stuff their characters learn and/or figure out.

I use https://kanka.io for my games and you can create a custom calendar there. You can add weather, moon cycles, seasons, all the fun stuff.

I use https://kanka.io to manage my campaign, if you're familiar with World Anvil it's the same idea. Like a wiki site for your game.
