GraphQL Development

GraphQL is a query language for your API and a server-side runtime for executing queries using a type system you define for your data. GraphQL isn't tied to any specific database or storage engine and is instead backed by your existing code and data.

Development with GraphQL in Moravio

A GraphQL service is created by defining types and fields on those types, then providing functions for each field on each type. For example, a GraphQL service that tells you who the logged-in user is as well as what the user's name might look like. GraphQL is designed to make APIs fast, flexible, and developer-friendly. It can even be deployed within an integrated development environment (IDE) known as GraphiQL. As an alternative to REST, GraphQL allows developers to construct requests and pull data from multiple data sources in a single API call.

Why do we use GraphQL at Moravio:

GraphQL APIs solve the data loading issues with its 3 attributes. First, it is an open specification rather than software. One can use GraphQL to serve many different needs at once. Secondly, GraphQL is flexible enough not to be tied to any specific programming language, database, or hosting environment. Third GraphQL brings in power and performance and decreases code complexity by using declarative queries instead of writing code.
