GraphQL is rapidly growing in popularity as the new standard for working with APIs, and it’s easy to see why! This groundbreaking API query language gives developers a single endpoint to access exactly the data they need. This eliminates over-fetching, decreases the response payload, and avoids multiple costly round trips to the server and long page load times. This could be a session, long or short, or a workshop. The application is a football themed app (or a movie app if the organizers prefer) where we start small with exposing data via a GraphQL endpoint in minutes, but then we make the application much different and more fun by using GraphQL custom resolvers to add a 3rd party TikTok endpoint to the mix. The code is hosted in a code sandbox so attendees will leave with the inspiration, best practices, and actual code to implement immediately in their workflow.
