Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I would like to thank my wife, Chalena, for standing beside me throughout my career and the writing of this book. Not only does she take care of the world around me and allow me to focus 100% on what I do, but she also often helps me do what I do and review what I write. I dedicate this book to her and our kids, Leo and Ally, who are just about the best children a dad could hope for. Their happy, loving, and fun presence is what keeps me going.I'd like to thank my friend and genius reviewer Julia Hunt for all of her excellent contributions to this book. Julia's feedback was great, as always, and it made this book a much better product. I'd like to also thank the Packt Publishing team I was fortunate to work with for their patience and guidance throughout the process of drafting and reviewing this book.

Preface

Theres a new choice for implementing APIsthe open source and Facebook-created GraphQL specification. Designed to solve many of the issues of working with REST, GraphQL comes alongside RelayJS, a React library for querying a server that implements the GraphQL specification. This book takes you quickly and simply through the skills you need to be able to build production-ready applications with both GraphQL and RelayJS.

What this book covers

, An Introduction to GraphQL and Relay , introduces you to Relay and GraphQL with the assumption that you have never heard of either. We will also discuss the problems that GraphQL and Relay aim to solve. Lastly, you will learn how to configure your Node.js application for GraphQL by setting up a Node.js GraphQL endpoint with a basic Hello World example.

, The Query Language , teaches you the syntax of the GraphQL language and the different features that are available there.

, The GraphQL Schema , gives you hands-on experience for working a GraphQL schema and the core features of a GraphQL runtime.

, Configuring React Applications to Use Relay , walks you through the steps needed to get your React application ready for use with Relay.

, Making GraphQL Queries Relay-Compliant , explains why just having a GraphQL server is not enough. The server will need to be Relay-compliant. This chapter will walk you through the necessary steps to make it so.

, Relay Variables and Object Identification , is about how a user can query the GraphQL endpoint with Relay at the React applications entry point, reducing round trips to the GraphQL server.

, Relay Mutations , will teach you how to invoke changes by invoking mutations with Relay on the GraphQL endpoints.

, Deploying to the Cloud , walks you through deploying your GraphQL/Relay app on EC2 and Heroku.

What you need for this book

The following are the requirements:

  • Node 6.x
  • Git
  • A cup of coffee
Who this book is for

This book does not assume that you have any prior experience or familiarity with GraphQL or Relay. You should, however, be comfortable writing Node.js applications on a MongoDB database with REST APIs as well as applications on the client side using React and ES2015.
