#GraphQL

I'm working with a codebase where #GraphQL queries are shared and reused between
components. And some even include "all fields from sub-entity" fragments. Isn't
this an anti-pattern? Shouldn't every component request exactly the fields it
needs?

#GraphQL Anti-Pattern: not expressing a graph, but doing REST all over again.

Keep your top level Query lean!

I started #jscc19 today with an AMA session on #graphql.

You should try it, because it solves so many headaches for you and enables
better separation between clients and backends. Makes it so much less hassle to
providing great, flexible APIs for your clients.

Slides from the #graphql session: #socracan

Funny story, the hotel has a nice touchscreen monitor / smart board but it's not
connected to the internet so I had to screenshot the screen like a Neanderthal.

Ohh, I really like this proposal to add the ? as a new ECMAScript operator:
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-optional-chaining

The example here is from https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/30167
and motivated especially by #GraphQL users.

A day's work and we have nice #BDD e2e tests for our #GraphQL API running on
@awscloud #appsync.

In 2019:

1. Frameworks and tools don’t last in #JavaScript. Don’t hold on to your current
   tools too tightly.
2. #React will be the dominant framework.
3. You’ll need to learn #GraphQL.
4. Somebody on your team will bring in #TypeScript.

@asciidisco #graphql is "just" a schema for
accessing data. You implement the mapping to your datastore yourself (or using
existing mappers).

TIL: #graphql has mutations which allow updating resources:

https://launchpad.graphql.com/ is a #GraphQL REPL.
