graphql-tools VS axios

From the previous example, you note that depending on Query Directives is inconsistent due to the different handling from the GraphQL providers, as a result, GraphQL Tools discourages using the Query Directives:

You might know us from projects such as graphql-code-generator, envelop or graphql-tools.

This article will document how you can do the same with minimal amount of code 😏 We'll be leveraging awesome utilities provided by graphql-tools

Schema Stitching (a component of GraphQL Tools[v6 and under]) got a bad rap when it was famously abandoned by Apollo in favor of their Federation architecture some years back. However, Stitching came under the stewardship of The Guild and friends in 2020, and they've since overhauled it with numerous automation and performance enhancements. Seemingly out of nowhere, Schema Stitching has reemerged as something of a nimble hummingbird racing alongside the stallion that is Apollo Federation.

Did I said AppSync GraphQL completely different with “normal” GraphQL???? In fact, you can’t use GraphQL API or other tools like GraphQL Tools (https://www.graphql-tools.com) to parse AppSync GraphQL files. For example did normal GraphQL have this kind of syntax: “type Order @model @key(fields: ["customerEmail", "createdAt"]) {….” (Pasted from Amplify docs)

You can check the unit tests to see the complete usage

GraphQL Tools

axios: To fetch data from the Strapi CMS API and also to fetch responses from our Express server.

Note, you can use any library for HTTP requests like axios. This example uses the http and node-fetch libraries available on npm.

Interact with other APIs over an encrypted channel. For example, you can use Axios with Node.js.

For this article, I will be using the TypeScript Starter template as shown in the screenshot above. This comes with Nodejs, Cheerio, Axios

Axios is suitable for a wide range of web development projects, from simple single-page applications (SPAs) to complex, large-scale enterprise software.

Axios for streamlined API interactions, facilitating seamless data fetching.

Axios is a popular HTTP client library for Node.js that provides a more user-friendly and feature-rich way to make HTTP requests. Axios simplifies error handling and supports features like automatic JSON parsing and request/response interceptors, making it a great choice for many HTTP request scenarios.

For this tutorial, we’re going to scan the file for malware using Verisys Antivirus API, and so we’ll add a package to make it easier to make external HTTP requests. Popular choices include Axios and node-fetch - for this article, we’ll use node-fetch

In the dynamic realm of JavaScript and front-end development, selecting the appropriate tool for HTTP requests is critical. Axios and Fetch stand out as two leading contenders, each offering distinct features and benefits. This article delves into their differences and practical applications, providing a comprehensive comparison.

Once you start to handle all the corner-cases of the fetch, you will find that you don't want to repeat the boilerplate each time you call network, so you will write some wrapper around the fetch or use redaxios library from Jason Miller, which provides axios-like API on top of fetch so it weights only 800 bytes, which is nice. But then you might need the axios interceptors which redaxios do not implement and if your application upload files and you want to track the upload progress with ProgressEvent, the fetch does not support that, only XMLHttpRequest does, on which the original axios is based. And after you write all your custom wrappers around fetch and upload wrappers around XMLHttpRequest, you might reconcider the original statement, that axios library is obsoleted.
