    🚀 Apollo/GraphQL integration for VueJS (by vuejs)

  • I'm learning GraphQL and every tutorial/vid I look at in relation to using Apollo with Vue seems to involve this other package, graphql-tag. But no one ever seems to explain why it's needed, and it's not listed as a dependency of Vue Apollo. So can anyone tell me precisely why graphql-tag is needed, and whether Apollo can work with Vue without it? Essentially, is it required (and if so why isn't it listed as an Apollo dependency?) or optional?
