Yuki Yamamoto @redryerye iOS Engineer @
Last year, my team decided to use GraphQL for our
new feature 🏃
A new co-working space has opened in Shimokitazawa GraphQL is
used in the new seat reservation featur e (Both iOS/Android)
GraphQL is used
GraphQL is used with apollo-ios

for iOS

Apollo is great!
But it can be a hassle 🧐

Apollo iOS: Things I like about it

Apollo iOS has a strong community • Actively maintained by

What does this mean? 🤔

Query-speci fi c nested structs will be generated ✅ Compile

Queries are fl exible
Queries are fl exible name name name PersonCell CharacterList Tie
a query to a view = View : Query or Fragment (Works well with SwiftUI)
name name name PersonCell CharacterList But this did not suit
our case
name name name PersonCell CharacterList 👆 Check this out for
the details
What’s the struggle? 🤔
• Dealing with nested structs can be a hassle especially
when passing it to your domain layer Apollo iOS: The Struggle
Generated structs are nested based on a query Apollo iOS:
The Struggle
Generated structs are nested based on a query The more
query gets complicated, so does the structs. Apollo iOS: The Struggle
Generated structs are nested based on a query Generated structs
does not conform to the Equatable protocol Apollo iOS: The Struggle 👆
I wish I could easily map to domain objects a
little more…
It’s always an option • Not to use a client
library and write your own client • Utilize Fragment
Any alternative?
Yes. graphql.org/code
Yes. Graphaello will not be covered here since it focuses
on SwiftUI graphql.org/code 👉
Let’s look at SwiftGraphQL graphql.org/code 👉

Summary • Mapping generated structs to domain objects can be
a hassle • Other GraphQL clients can be your solution depending on your situation
