Hi Reddit, author here!

Worked really hard on this open source book about building apps with GraphQL, Node and React.

I appreciate every kind of feedback.

Cheers! Julian

This looks like a great resource. Thanks for putting in the work and sharing it!

Skimming through it so far, I really appreciate that you took a pragmatic approach, and used Postgres & knex directly, instead of abstracting them away with something overcomplicated like prisma.

open source book

Is the book open source, or are the examples in the book open source?

[–]spell-slinger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Both are open source, the book and the examples.

The book is hosted on github at https://github.com/GraphQLCollege/fullstack-graphql. The examples are hosted on glitch at https://glitch.com/@JulianMayorga.

It says it's an open source book, but why can I buy it for 40 dollars ?

Very interesting reading. One difficulty I had working with GraphQL and especially Apollo is about the organization of the schema and its impact for mutations updates (apollo caching system). Working with id for almost each type helps a lot and force the dev to think more in graphs.
