GraphQL for JavaScript developers

GraphQL for JavaScript developers

In this workshop we will dive into GraphQL and build a complete GraphQL backend in JavaScript. This workshop is targeted to engineers who want to learn to build a complete GraphQL server.

Topics covered

  • Fundamentals & GraphQL core concepts
  • Setting up the GraphQL Server
  • Exploring the GraphQL API
  • Working with the SDL (Schema Defintion Language)
  • GraphQL Queries for fetching data
  • GraphQL Mutations for creating, updating & deleting data
  • Access control patterns & Authorization using Context
  • Real-time events with GraphQL Subscriptions
  • Deployment setup

Prerequisites

Developers are comfortable working with modern ES JavaScript features. Bring your own laptop (I'm on Mac). Make sure, latest node and yarn works on your machine.

Goals

Developers will be able to build a complete GraphQL server using open source libraries. The goal is to reduce the pain of dealing with traditional REST architectures by using GraphQL.
