Session: Consuming a GraphQL API with Apollo Client and React
Traditional REST APIs are not always focused on the client. GraphQL is an alternative where the client has more power to ask for what they want and get exactly that back in a single call. In this talk, we will use Apollo GraphQL to return speaker and session information for our demo conference website built in React. We will learn to consume and interact with GraphQL APIs from our frontend React application. We will explore writing queries to retrieve data from the GraphQL API. Next we will learn how to write mutations to modify and update the GraphQL data. When you’re finished with this talk, you’ll have the skills to build frontend applications that can consume GraphQL API using the Apollo client.
