👋😀 If you're curious about some of the questions I get regarding #GraphQL, and how I answer them, look no further! Using @glitch, I've been able build quite a few example schemas using Apollo Server 2.0.

Here are a few of my favorites [thread]:
"Why is this field null? Is it because I don't have permission to view it, or is there actually no data there?"

🔒🔑 Authorization boundaries can be useful when a client is querying for data that may not be available to them:

glitch.com/edit/#!/exampl…
"Why did my mutation throw an error? Was there only one thing wrong? How do I show the user what went wrong?"

📝💪 Mutation responses, similarly to authorization boundaries, give you exactly what you need to know at a glance to debug mutation errors:

glitch.com/edit/#!/mutati…
"How can I split up my Apollo Server code to minimize refactors later on when my project is much larger, or when more people are working on it?"

🧠🖖 You can split up types and resolvers to be as granular as necessary, and them combine them at runtime:

glitch.com/edit/#!/large-…
"I want to see a DataSource in action. How can I play around with one, before trying to integrate it into my project?"

⚡️🏆 Say no more:

glitch.com/edit/#!/exampl…
"I just want to experiment with #GraphQL. I don't have anything up and running currently. How can I do that?"

😍👏 Remix this project (from @jbaxleyiii and @evanshauser) and get to work:

🙋‍♀️🤷‍♂️ Am I missing anything important? Any examples you'd like to see that are missing?
