#graphql #bestPractices
« […] Over the years, we’ve had thousands of conversations with developers implementing GraphQL at companies of all sizes. We want to share what we’ve learned, so we’ve distilled their experiences into a set of best practices for creating, maintaining, and operating a data graph. We present them here as 10 GraphQL Principles, broken out into three categories (Integrity-, Agility- and Operations Principles), in a format inspired by the Twelve Factor App. »

Hello stranger.Come with me on a short adventure as we build a fast, simple interface for publishing blog style articles. Something sensible. It should look clean and simple yet have the ability to perform powerful resource fetching with some query magic. I’m talking about #graphql, the query language built with web APIs in mind. And speaking of web APIs, we will also be using our handy Content Management Service: Cosmic JS, to Create and Store our Blog Data.TLDR:Progressive Apollo BlogProgressive Apollo Blog Codebase0.0 Before You StartBefore you go any further make sure you have the required developer tools installed on your machine. Mainly you will need Node JS, its accompanying package manager: npm, and git. Git is semi optional and will only be used to code storage and deployment if (...)
How to Add a Cache Layer to #serverless #graphql #appsync API

In this post, I show an example of simple application based on the Serverless framework. The application uses Amazon Appsync, Lambda, DynamoDB, Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX), to demonstrate how to use Amazon DAX as caching layer in front of #aws Appsync Resolvers.Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is a fully managed, highly available, in-memory cache for DynamoDB that delivers up to a 10x performance improvement — from milliseconds to microseconds — even at millions of requests per second.A simple serverless CMSThe example application in this post is a simple CMS. I use Serverless framework templates to simplify the setup for Appsync.

Writing a GraphQL Domain Specific Language (DSL) in KotlinI’ve recently spent some time testing a GraphQL endpoint against a few queries. At the moment I’m keeping my queries as multi-line strings but I was wondering:How hard would it be to build a GraphQL query DSL in Kotlin?I thought this could be a good opportunity to become more familiar with Kotlin DSL capabilities.Here’s what I’ve got so far.A GraphQL DSL in KotlinThe above snippet produces the following result:The GraphQL resulting from the DSLThe main challenges I have faced up to this point have been around supporting:any string to be used as the root field of the query (e.g."allUsers")nested selection of fieldsa map-like syntax for field arguments (I’ve settled for the to method for now)Any String is a FieldAs you can see (...)

Building JAMstack Applications with Gatsby and #aws #amplify Framework
▻https://hackernoon.com/building-jamstack-applications-with-gatsby-and-aws-amplify-framework-d7e
When it comes to performance these days, it’s not uncommon to hear the term “JAMstack”. JAMstack stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup. The idea being to create static markup with JavaScript that is powered by communicating with APIs.The reason this stack has become so popular is because it allows websites or apps to be bundled up and served at “the edge” via a CDN. Couple this with what is ideally a performant app that is talking to performant APIs and you get a speedy user experience.GatsbyJS is a great solution for creating markup with JavaScript, but what about the APIs part and serving your site to the world? Well really, that’s up to you, but in this post I’ll walk through how you can:Use AWS Amplify and AWS Cognito to set up authenticationUse AWS #appsync to create powerful APIs that (...)

Easiest Way to Build a GraphQL Server from Scratch using Express- (Part 1)Arguably GraphQL is one the most popular convention to Fetch or render Data for Front-End or even Store and Update data for Backend. Well, Rest-API is also there as an alternative to GraphQL but there are many Drawbacks Using Rest-API convention.I won’t go deeper into what are the differences between GraphQL and Rest-API since this topic is all about building up a GraphQL server.We will be making a GraphQL server and will be using Express to Host our server and rest will be manipulated using GraphQL.First Open up your terminal and make sure you have Nodejs Installed on your Machine. you can cross check that using this command node -v or npm - v, this will show you the working version of Node.Make a Directory (...)
Whether You Love or Hate Facebook, #graphql is Awesome

Let’s time travel a bit. Imagine you’re a developer back in the mid-2000s. You’re working on building a web application, and you are solving for the desktop Internet browser because it’s the only platform available. It’s easier to keep your server and client codebase integrated and let the framework abstract away the client-server communication.Fast forward a few years — browsers have now matured to support HTML5 and JavaScript, permitting richer client-side capabilities. At this point in time, the front-end developer emerged. Although developers began to diverge in their roles and responsibilities to keep up with evolving technological advancements, monolithic frameworks such as PHP, Ruby-on-Rails, and ASP.NET continued to dominate the developer ecosphere thanks to their simplicity, (...)

Apollo vs Relay Modern: Which #graphql Client to consider using in 2019
▻https://hackernoon.com/apollo-vs-relay-modern-which-graphql-client-to-consider-using-in-2019-74
I first wrote a version of this article just over 16 months ago, and it’s pretty impressive how much the GraphQL community has achieved in that time.First of all, the question is no longer really Apollo or Relay, but rather Apollo or does one even need a fancy client at all. If you’re just testing the waters with GraphQL and don’t want to change your existing app too much, you can just use fetch in your component like so:fetch(’/graphql’, method: ’POST’, headers: ’Content-Type’: ’application/json’, ’Accept’: ’application/json’, , body: JSON.stringify(query: " hello ")) .then(r => r.json()) .then(data => console.log(’data returned:’, data));The main benefit to adopting a GraphQL client is the cache (...)

me, in my element.On the personal sideI interviewed at Facebook, first for front-end, then for full-stack. Considering the year Facebook has had, I’m okay with not getting the job.Roughly around the time I was interviewing at Facebook, I took up the #vanlife with my partner and toured through California in a purple van. When I came back home, I finally took the driving test and got a wagon to continue the #vanlife here in Australia.I then quit my job at Arup (building engineering consultancy) to go work at a Fintech startup aiming to revolutionise the retail investing space for Mum & Dad investors. After 3 weeks I quit the startup job, once we realised the job they advertised for and the job they wanted me to do weren’t exactly aligned with my skillset (I see myself as probably 75% (...)

You, right now — probably.We can all agree testing is quite important if you want to maintain developer happiness. It makes refactoring code a joy, and it generally helps build confidence in your codebase.In general, unit tests are possible in GraphQL by testing your resolvers, and ensuring the logic is sound. But what if we want to test a whole query, and detect when fields are deleted, renamed, added or fields return different data?I’ll show you a quick code example of how you can do this locally.Using Jest for GraphQL Snapshot TestingYou can clone a demo repo for this blog post here: ▻https://github.com/rozenmd/graphql-snapshot-testingimport graphqlHTTP from ’express-graphql’import getCountries from ’./resolvers’import schema from ’./schema’test(’the snapshot (...)
Three ways to structure your #graphql code with Apollo Server

Three Ways to Structure GraphQL Code with Apollo ServerIn this article, we’re going to use Apollo Server and get started without any extra dependency. We will have to pick the folder structure for our project and we’ll be exploring three different ones alongside their pros and cons.Structuring your code is probably the first task you will have to do when starting a new project. Of course, if you’re using a framework, you will probably get offered a default structure. This is because “convention over configuration” principle generally helps to get started a lot faster. However, when writing micro/small services in Node.js, I find frameworks too bloated because they come with many things that we either don’t need (ex: routing) or that we will swap with another lib at some point (ex: security).
