GraphQL in native applications at scale(opens in new tab)

Listen to @alex_langenfeld and @igorcanadi's talk on GraphQL in native clients where benefits like avoiding over- or underfetching are especially important. Learn about obstacles they had to overcome and why they use query-based instead of type-based responses. The last part about caching and consistency gives great insights into this tough problem.

Moving from Redux/GraphQL to Relay(opens in new tab)

This article provides a good overview of the difference between using Redux and Relay. When should you use Redux over Relay? When should you prefer Relay? As a bonus, @DonTAbrams shares his experience of migrating from REST to GraphQL. Wonderful!

Open Source

stubailo/graphql-anywhere(opens in new tab)

The idea of this project is simple: it allows you to run a GraphQL query against any data without the need of a schema. Like this, you can for example query data in your normalized Redux store as if you would query a GraphQL server! graphql-anywhere does not support asynchronous execution yet, so if you want to get your hands dirty, create that PR!

graphql/graphql-relay-js(opens in new tab)

The newest release 0.4.3 of graphql-relay-js brings support for graphql 0.7.0 and some improvements to the schema: clientMutationId is not longer required while the connection arguments first and last need to be non-negative integers now.
