GraphQL with Spring Boot
1 like582 views
The document discusses GraphQL and its advantages over REST APIs. It provides an overview of GraphQL, describing it as a declarative and compositional query language that allows clients to get precisely the data they need from existing data sources in a single request. The document also includes examples of GraphQL queries and mutations, describes how to define a GraphQL schema, and discusses benefits like flexibility and being self-documenting. Additionally, it mentions the Spring Boot Starter for GraphQL and provides a link to a demo.

- 23. Other benefits of GraphQL ‣flexibility ‣one end-point ‣self-documenting (strong typing and schema) ‣query validation ‣no versioning needed
- 25. Spring Boot Starter for GraphQL ‣adding Maven dependency creates GraphQL controller under /v1/graphql <dependency> <groupId>com.merapar</groupId> <artifactId>graphql-spring-boot-starter</artifactId> <version>1.0.2</version> </dependency> ‣adding new queries and mutation is a matter of implementing GraphQlFields interface
- 27. Problems with GraphQL ‣HTTP caching ‣Unpredictable execution ‣No handling for file upload ‣Authorisation and authentication
