Of course, you need a GraphQL API first. Apollo is good if you want to resolve all your entities manually, but there are novel integrated database approaches like Dgraph that generate everything based on the schema.
- radu_floricica 5y agoI hope you're joking. What is this "resolving all your entities manually" you speak of? Apollo? Dgraph? Is it Klingon? What you're telling me that it's doable... once you go through the learning curve. And if you'll allow me a testy comment (not personal), it's exactly this lack of empathy toward end users that doesn't make me wanna try it. What would help would be an already generated REST API I can use as an alternative.
- brundolf 5y agoTechnically all you need is a TCP port I think the other person's point is that a GraphQL API is not a trivial leap from normal http; it's a significant abstraction layer of its own that requires its own learning process
