Goodbye REST; Hello GraphQL - Sandeep Singh

[@michaelandrews514]

Is there a github repo that this example app can be cloned from?

Nice talk

Why is the ID stored as a string?

[@Sergejack]

Wait "Netflix does this (rest with ah-hoc endpoints)" you say. But doesn't Netflix uses Falcor (a technology "competing" with GrpaphQL)?

[@osnonihcm4869]

Cool. For anyone interested in something like this, take a look at OData for an open and widely accepted industry standard implementation of this technology.

So if I implemented my REST API so that it accepts the fields to return as part of the request, can I avoid using this Facebook shit?

[@FilipCordas]

Get what you mean. Facebook invented projections. I like this but this just a spec if you used odata same thing just more SQL like, subscriptions are nice . But that is what you want front end people writing queries what can go wrong.

That hand movement can be so annoying! And it is not a very interactive presentation, just blurting out like a machine. Still thanks for the vid!

He looks like a swing balance
