An Introduction To GraphQL Reactathon, March 20, 2018
Jon Wong Frontend Infrastructure, Coursera @jnwng 2
Runtime ▪ Clients ▪ Servers ▪ Tools What We’re Covering
in GraphQL Language ▪ Schemas ▪ Queries 3
What is GraphQL? Taken straight from GraphQL.org
Describe your Data type Project { name: String tagline: String
contributors: [User] } 5
Ask for What You Want query { project(name: "GraphQL") {
tagline } } 6
Get Predictable Results query { project(name: "GraphQL") { tagline }
} 7 { "project": { "tagline": "A query language for APIs" } }
Schemas Describing possible data
Describe everything that is possible ▪ All possible data results
are described by the server. 9
Validation ▪ Every query is validated against the GraphQL schema
▪ No runtime errors for query documents 10
The GraphQL Schema gives us the basis of everything that
is possible when communicating to the server from the client. 11
Queries Reading your data
13 A simple query query { project(name: "GraphQL") { tagline
} } { "project": { "tagline": "A query language for APIs" } }
14 A simple query query { project(name: "GraphQL") { tagline
author } } { "project": { "tagline": "A query language for APIs", “author”: “jnwng” } }
Fragments fragment MyFancyFragment on MyResource { someField } 15 These
are required!
Spreading a fragment in a query query { someResource {
...MyFancyFragment } } 16 These two types should match
17 A typical React application
18 … broken down into components ...
19 A complex query
20 A complex query
21 A complex query query CoursePage { course(slug: “Machine Learning”)
{ title description ...University ...Instructor } }
22 ▪ Components can be more portable ▪ Components are
more self-sufficient. Every component can declare its own data requirements
GraphQL queries allow the client to declare exactly what it
needs, in the form that it needs it in. 23
Clients Managing your data
Clients make it easier to manage data Relay Apollo 25
Caching ▪ Clients provide advanced caching for GraphQL queries. 26
Caching query ListView { allBooks { id name } }
27 query DetailView ($id: ID) { bookById(id: $id) { name } }
Clients make adopting GraphQL in your application a breeze. 28
Servers Serving your data
Mapping types to resolvers 30 const schemaDefinition = ` type
Query { books: [Book] } type Book { title: String author: String } `; const resolvers = { Query: { books: () => fetch('https://api.com/books') }, };
Every field can be resolved separately. 31 const resolvers =
{ Query: { books: () => fetch('https://api.com/books') }, Book: { title: () => return ‘The book title’, author: () => fetch(‘https://api.com/authors’) } };
A single endpoint for data from anywhere { books {
title author } } 32
GraphQL servers are flexible 33 ▪ They can act as
proxies to existing data ▪ They can also act as the business logic layer itself
Tools Supercharging your data
GraphiQL 35
`eslint-plugin-graphql` 36 Catch invalid API calls at compile-time
`apollo-codegen` 37 Catch runtime errors at compile-time
GraphQL enables an entire ecosystem of tools to make developers
more effective. 38
▪ GraphQL makes it really simple to query lots of
data, no matter where it is. 39 In Summary
▪ Just like React, GraphQL can break down complexity into
composable, reusable pieces 40 In Summary
▪ GraphQL.org ▪ GraphQL.com ▪ https://launchpad.graphql.com/ new 41 How to
Get Started
