Intro to PostGraphile V5 (Part 3): Introspection and Abstraction
I'm a big believer in GraphQL (in fact, at time of writing I'm #2 contributor to the GraphQL spec itself) so it pains me that a tool I built doesn't always have easy ways to achieve the "versionless schema" design that GraphQL encourages when it comes to making significant breaking changes to your underlying database tables. (Personally, I think you should aim for your database schema itself to be versionless, but this is not always possible.) Of course you can build your PostGraphile schema over views instead of tables, but views have their own problems that I won't go into hereā¦

Migrating Netflix to GraphQL Safely
I created a proposal for Map type but didnāt make it through.
https://github.com/graphql/graphql-spec/pull/888
The issue with GraphQL is it tries to appease too many masters.
Similar to jsx. The language isnāt evolving.
The good thing is the spec is (almost) frozen, so thereās many implementations, the bad is it can encompass the flexibility of json schema can do.

GraphQL Live Queries with live directive

Ask HN: Tutorials Written with Heavy Dependencies
Youāve probably figured it out by now, but for others who may be in a similar position; GraphQL is a specification (with various implementations) and you can read up on the spec here: https://spec.graphql.org/

GraphQL object schemas - how to represent (and query?) Graph (hierarchical objects) in GraphQL?
If you're asking whether GraphQL supports anonymous objects that can be arbitrarily nested then no, it doesn't.

Thanks graphql, I hate it.

Deprecation Notice: GraphQL for Packages
* Performance: It's just hard to track down what makes an operation slow. The waterfall nature of resolvers is a big contributor

GraphQL error handling to the max with Typescript, codegen and fp-ts
:::note GraphQL Union is available for Types only, not for Inputs. However, the oneOf directive will bridge the gap in the future.

Apollo Layoffs
Depends on language, I've build GraphQL servers in a few, though mostly JavaScript and Python. For Python I used to use Graphene, these days I use Strawberry.
For JavaScript, I originally used graphql-js and express-graphql, as these were the original libraries and I was a literal day 1 adopter. All the libraries are essentially just wrappers around graphql-js, so it's still viable to use directly. But for schema-building I now use Pothos (https://pothos-graphql.dev/), I'd probably use graphql-helix as the http layer (https://github.com/contra/graphql-helix).

Code-first schema definition
While there are many GraphQL server packages available, we need one that will play nicely with Nuxt3's server engine (Nitro / h3). In the spirit of keeping things extensible and framework-agnostic, GraphQL Helix seems like a really good choice. Let's add it to our project:

When to use multiple endpoints in GraphQL
When using a JavaScript server, a convenient way to achieve this is with GraphQL Helix, which decouples the handling of the HTTP request from the GraphQL server. With Helix, we can have the routing logic be handled by a Node.js web framework (such as Express.js or Fastify), and then ā depending on the requested path (i.e., the requested endpoint ā we can provide the corresponding schema to the GraphQL server.
-
a first look at graphQL helix
GraphQL Helix is a framework and runtime agnostic collection of utility functions for building your own GraphQL HTTP server. Instead of providing a complete HTTP server or middleware plugin function, GraphQL Helix only provides a handful of functions for turning an HTTP request into a GraphQL execution result. You decide how to send back the response.

Introducing Envelop - The GraphQL Plugin System
import { envelop, useSchema, useLogger } from '@envelop/core'; import fastify from 'fastify'; import { processRequest, getGraphQLParameters } from 'graphql-helix'; // This creates the `getEnveloped` function for us. Behind the scense the wrapped functions are created once, here. const getEnveloped = envelop({ plugins: [useSchema(schema), useLogger()], }); const app = fastify(); app.route({ method: ['POST'], url: '/graphql', async handler(req, res) { // Here we can pass the request and make available as part of the "context". // The return value is the a GraphQL-proxy that exposes all the functions. const { parse, validate, contextFactory, execute, schema } = getEnveloped({ req, }); const request = { body: req.body, headers: req.headers, method: req.method, query: req.query, }; const { operationName, query, variables } = getGraphQLParameters(request); // Here, we pass our custom functions to Helix, and it will take care of the rest. const result = await processRequest({ operationName, query, variables, request, schema, parse, validate, execute, contextFactory, }); if (result.type === 'RESPONSE') { res.status(result.status); res.send(result.payload); } else { // You can find a complete example with Subscriptions and stream/defer here: // https://github.com/contrawork/graphql-helix/blob/master/examples/fastify/server.ts res.send({ errors: [{ message: 'Not Supported in this demo' }] }); } }, }); app.listen(3000, () => { console.log(`GraphQL server is running...`); });

Subscriptions and Live Queries - Real Time with GraphQL
Fortunately, we now have libraries like Graphql Helix, which, in my humble opinion, should replace express-graphql as the reference HTTP implementation since GraphQL Helix is also not tied to any web server framework.

GraphQL - Diving Deep
If you are using Node.js there are a lot of implementations of GraphQL servers with a few being express-graphql, apollo-server, mercurius, graphql-helix and more. And if you are using other languages, you can see a great list here
