An Introduction to GraphQL on Replit

1

Universe

Next, we'll want to create our own endpoint, since being restricted to data from Universe.com is limiting. There are several server-side GraphQL frameworks. Some extremely popular examples are express-graphql for Node (running Express) and Graphene for Python servers. Alternatively, there are several all-in-one solutions like Prisma or Hasura that come with databases included.

Pusher

For a long time, REST was considered the de-facto standard for sending data between a browser and a server. Its popularity stems from the wide range of standardised operations it allows. These range from receiving data (GET), sending data (POST), merging two data structures (PATCH) or even removing data (DELETE). However, the primary drawback of REST is that it relies on the creation of fixed data endpoints. This means that a single request is only scoped to a specific, pre-defined set of data. Chimezie Enyinnaya, a Nigerian content creator for Pusher (a service that manages remote pub/sub messaging), explains it as follows:.

GraphQL

In this project, we will create a website that fetches data from a GraphQL endpoint. The endpoint exposes data related to an imagined podcast called GraphQL FM.

GraphCMS

Note that GraphCMS allows you to create a new project completely from scratch, however for our purposes we only want to have a working endpoint with placeholder content. If you are interested in diving deeper into GraphCMS, you can consult their documentation at https://graphcms.com/docs.

GraphQL Playground

Most GraphQL endpoints come with some form of GraphQL explorer, the most popular being GraphiQL and GraphQL Playground. As an example, let's start with a public GraphQL endpoint provided by the event management platform Universe.com. Their endpoint allows developers to retrieve data associated with specific events in their database. We can use their explorer to create and test a super basic query.
