In this gist I would like to describe an idea for GraphQL subscriptions. It was inspired by conversations about subscriptions in the GraphQL slack channel and different GH issues, like #89 and #411.
At the moment GraphQL allows 2 types of queries:
query
mutation
Reference implementation also adds the third type: subscription
. It does not have any semantics yet, so here I would like to propose one possible semantics interpretation and the reasoning behind it.
