GraphQL "solves" the ability to ignore an unneeded field in a response? Revolutionary.
- dclowd9901 2y agoEven in REST, I’m sure you don’t use every field from every request? In fact, such tight coupling between FE and BE in REST is strongly advised against. And “wasted fields” was never a problem graphql was trying to solve.
- scubbo 2y agoWe are in complete agreement - I was criticizing the implication that it was impossible to ignore fields in a REST response.
