Always wanted to use #GraphQL for your new projects, but never got time to learn how it works? 😃

Let's change that this weekend! 🙌

👇 Here's a 10-tweet GraphQL crash course for you! 🥳
1/10
GraphQL is a query language for making flexible API calls.

We describe what we want in a single request with nested fields, then we will receive a data payload of the exact shape.

No need to make many small requests to stitch data together or over-fetch unwanted parts!
2/10
GraphQL is not a library, but a language spec.

We send queries as POST or GET requests. The server checks if they're valid with a predefined schema, runs corresponding resolver functions to perform operations, then prepares the data to be returned to the client.
