I've used its JSON support extensively and no, it's not really the same at all. What you're saying is that you're OK with (1) planning to not use columns to store your individual data fields in the first place, forgoing

One immediate improvement: SQL queries return rows of scalars. It's very tedious to reconstruct nested objects from the resulting column aliases that are ultimately necessary (and in this case, the client would even need to do it all t

Digs at JSX aside, I think you may have lost track of what this thread was about: complicated nested conditionals. These are a pain to do in a single JS expression, JSX or hyperscript or otherwise – even in your example. In JSX your simple

by exogen 9y ago
The reason OP's complaint is a bit silly is because JSX is just JavaScript and there's no need to be doing everything in a single JSX expression in the first place. That would be bad code just like any other situation. Do what you

It’s not. I’ve tried with Relay Modern. See the API I want elsewhere in the thread.

Sorry what class hierarchy are we talking about here? This seems like an extremely contrived application of SOLID. (1) In what sense is my client making GraphQL queries depending on or tied to the available schema fields it does not qu

by exogen 9y ago
The schema should still be documented somewhere, like any API. But even if it's not: GraphQL supports a special "introspection query" that will tell you the entire schema that you can query. Pointing a tool like GraphiQL ( ht

I addressed that in the original post. That requires (1) adding potentially hundreds of boolean query variables to the query (and neither Apollo nor Relay give you any affordance for populating these from context, which you'd need for

That would be a similar approach to the `getDataFromTree` function that Apollo offers: http://dev.apollodata.com/react/server-side-rendering.html#g... But it's way more work than just passing fragments up the tree

by exogen 9y ago
Assuming I did build HOCs for doing so, the difference boils down to this: in your approach, query variable props would magically be passed down the component tree via `context` and used by descendant components in duplicated queries. The

by exogen 9y ago
Yes, I'm saying that getting those props to those children in the first place is annoying to do and I'd still have to build a bunch of `context` helpers on top of Relay and Apollo to make doing that nice. This is the API I want:
229.
by exogen 9y ago
I've considered that, but it's extremely annoying (and still not really possible with Relay or Apollo). Not only would I be relying on Apollo's query batching/merging in order to not make 100 different queries over the n

by exogen 9y ago
One thing I keep running into is that for a few of my app ideas, I'm not really interested in just having static queries known at build time, like Relay and Apollo are designed for. I specifically want them to be dynamic and actually b

Another simple option for limiting complexity (I've considered implementing this in my GraphBrainz project): in the `context` provided to the GraphQL query resolver, increment a counter whenever a resolver requires fetching from an ext

FYI, Promise.all does not guarantee that. It doesn't orchestrate actually running the Promises at all (this is impossible the way Promises work), just that they're all resolved at the end, with results in the same order they wer
