GraphQL is now officially production ready!

GraphQL: A query language for APIs.

Enough companies are already using it in production, but the offical label is nice none the less

Other cool news is that GitHub now also has a GraphQL API!

The GitHub GraphQL API

Great new developments in the GraphQL scene. I only recently started using GraphQL and I’m enjoying it very much. The Apollo project and tools like GraphiQL make live so much easier… I was quite sceptical at first and mostly disliking the fact I had to learn yet another thing, but it’s an awesome technology.

@thea and I contributed the http://graphql.org/learn/queries/, http://graphql.org/learn/schema/, and http://graphql.org/community/ pages to the new site! Really proud of it, but haven’t had a good opportunity to brag about it yet :]

Are using Reactivity with Apollo?

A bit late, but we just released an integration with Blaze: https://github.com/Swydo/blaze-apollo

Thats what we’re using at the moment. You can see more of the discussion in this thread:

Apollo with Blaze?

And here it is! A first working version of the Blaze-Apollo integration. Something to play with during the weekend It’s still in it’s early stages, but queries work and mutations in the apollo client do show up in the template. https://github.com/swydo/blaze-apollo Here is an example app for some more context: https://github.com/swydo/blaze-apollo-example As always, feedback is appreciated! P.S. If your near Amsterdam next week, join us at the Meteor meetup where we’ll discuss a…

Thanks @jamiter, is anyone using Apollo with Blaze these days? If I build a GraphQL server to service new apps, I also have a couple of legacy Blaze clients that could make use of data coming from the GraphQL server.

Hey @aadams, I wish I knew… DDP-Apollo is quite popular, but the blaze-apollo package doesn’t get much feedback. I also tried to improve the internals, but to be honest, working with ReactiveVars isn’t easy to control. And now that we’re moving to react ourselves I do not plan to invest in it to much.

There are still some Blaze fans around, but because it’s still tied to Meteor and development on it dropped close to zero I won’t bet on Blaze anymore. For legacy Blaze apps blaze-apollo will still do the job.

Thanks! So for my legacy Blaze apps blaze-apollo you think will still work with the latest Apollo Client 2.0?

[jamiter]

Yeah, we use it with Apollo Client 2 ourselves! Same external API, so it shouldn’t be a problem. In case you do run into anything, please open a ticket in the repo and we’ll look at it!
