pragma VS starter

Yes you can do this in GraphQL. You can see it in APIs built with Pragma.

If you’re starting something from scratch try Pragma https://github.com/pragmalang/pragma

Agree! I’m working on a DSL called Pragma and when I was writing the logic for generating the GraphQL schema from Pragma’s syntax tree I needed union input types to have a clean GraphQL schema and very type-safe at the same time but not having union types gave a hard time so I ended up making all fields on input types optional to avoid duplicate queries, and have custom type checking logic on the server-side instead of GraphQL’s (it’s still spec compliant).

I've been enjoying developing on top of PostGraphile. https://www.graphile.org/

Good starter: https://github.com/graphile/starter

I can add a column the the db, and my frontend gets that autimagically (in dev mode, it generates a graphql schema out of the db, and from that it creates composables for my frontend wiht graphql-codegen). On the frontend I use Vue 3, the starter is build with nextjs/react.

I learned so much about postgresql and RLS from postgraphile starter project: https://github.com/graphile/starter/blob/main/%40app/db/migr...

also the project is worth checking out ;)

I'm a fairly seasoned developer, but I've started contributing to a project (graphile-starter) where the core business logic is defined in PL/pgSQL functions and realized I have a lot to learn.

Someone called it: "hasura for adults”

It's highly customisable, works directly with postgresql row levels security and the performance is quite good. It has a custom GraphiQL gui to work on queries/mutations.

To really see how it all works together checkout the starter project: https://github.com/graphile/starter it has migrations, job queue, graphql-codegen etc.

Here’s a full stack, batteries included example: https://github.com/graphile/starter it doesn’t have mobile app yet but could be added relatively easily.

Postgraphile starter uses most of the same tech and has all the same functionality as far as I can tell, with the additional benefit of Postgraphile generating your GraphQL schema and resolvers instead of worrying them manually.
