Rob Richard and Liliana Matos are front-end engineers at 1stDibs.com. They have been working with the GraphQL Working Group as champions of the @defer and @stream directives. The @defer and @stream directives have been a much anticipated set of features ever since Lee Byron first talked about it at GraphQL Europe 2016. For most of 2020, we have been working with the GraphQL Working Group to standa

Pagination Traverse lists of objects with a consistent field pagination model A common use case in GraphQL is traversing the relationship between sets of objects. There are different ways that these relationships can be exposed in GraphQL, giving a varying set of capabilities to the client developer. On this page, we’ll explore how fields may be paginated using a cursor-based connection model. Plu

What is the GraphQL Foundation? The GraphQL Foundation is a neutral foundation founded by global technology and application development companies. The GraphQL Foundation encourages contributions, stewardship, and a shared investment from a broad group in vendor-neutral events, documentation, tools, and support for GraphQL. GraphQL was created in 2012 and open sourced by Facebook in 2015. In 2019,

Caching Provide Object Identifiers so clients can build rich caches In an endpoint-based API, clients can use HTTP caching to avoid refetching resources and to identify when two resources are the same. The URL in these APIs is a globally unique identifier that the client can leverage to build a cache. In GraphQL, there’s no URL-like primitive that provides this globally unique identifier for a giv

Authorization Delegate authorization logic to the business logic layer Most APIs will need to secure access to certain types of data depending on who requested it, and GraphQL is no different. GraphQL execution should begin after authentication middleware confirms the user’s identity and passes that information to the GraphQL layer. But after that, you still need to determine if the authenticated

Insomnia is an open-source, cross-platform API Client for GraphQL, REST, and gRPC. Insomnia combines an easy-to-use interface with advanced functionality like authentication helpers, code generation, and environment variables.

GraphQL Best Practices The GraphQL specification is intentionally silent on a handful of important issues facing APIs such as dealing with the network, authorization, and pagination. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t solutions for these issues when using GraphQL, just that they’re outside the description about what GraphQL is and instead just common practice. The articles in this section should

Thinking in Graphs It’s Graphs All the Way Down1 With GraphQL, you model your business domain as a graph Graphs are powerful tools for modeling many real-world phenomena because they resemble our natural mental models and verbal descriptions of the underlying process. With GraphQL, you model your business domain as a graph by defining a schema; within your schema, you define different types of nod

Wrapping a REST API in GraphQLSteven LuscherMay 5, 2016 Time and time again I hear the same aspiration from front-end web and mobile developers: they’re eager to reap the developer efficiency gains offered by new technologies like Relay and GraphQL, but they have years of momentum behind their existing REST API. Without data that clearly demonstrates the benefits of switching, they find it hard to

Leaving technical previewLee ByronSeptember 14, 2016 After over a year of being open sourced we’re bringing GraphQL out of “technical preview” and relaunching graphql.org. For us at Facebook, GraphQL isn’t a new technology. GraphQL has been delivering data to mobile News Feed since 2012. Since then it’s expanded to support the majority of the Facebook mobile product and evolved in the process. Ear

Introduction to GraphQL Learn about GraphQL, how it works, and how to use it GraphQL is a query language for your API, and a server-side runtime for executing queries using a type system you define for your data. The GraphQL specification was open-sourced in 2015 and has since been implemented in a variety of programming languages. GraphQL isn’t tied to any specific database or storage engine—it i

Subscriptions in GraphQL and RelayDan Schafer and Laney KuenzelOctober 16, 2015 When we announced and open-sourced GraphQL and Relay this year, we described how they can be used to perform reads with queries, and to perform writes with mutations. However, oftentimes clients want to get pushed updates from the server when data they care about changes. To support that, we’ve introduced a third opera

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools. Ask for what you need, get exactly thatSend a GraphQL q
