Building a GraphQL Client in JavaScript
We will answer the following questions. What is the philosophy behind GraphQL? How do you architect a scalable schema? How can GraphQL boost productivity? How can you avoid common pitfalls? We will then get a GraphQL server up and running together, while focusing on exploring real world patterns for architecting our schema. We will discuss and implement practical steps to improve query performance, error handling and caching. You will leave with a working GraphQL server that they have built themselves.
