What is GraphQL? and what are the best features of GraphQL?
A GraphQL query is a string that is sent to a server to be interpreted and fulfilled, which then returns JSON back to the client.
Best features of GraphQL API:
- Defines a data structure: GraphQL mirrors their response. This makes it easy to predict the shape of the data returned from a query, as well as to write a query if you know the data your app needs.
- Hierarchical nature: GraphQL follows the relationship between objects, this data hierarchy pairs well with graph-structured data stores and ultimately with the hierarchical user interfaces it’s used within.
- GraphQL query language reduces complexity of data fetching through abstraction. It is the fundamental programming principle of GraphQL.
When and where to use GraphQL?
-
Composite pattern
Make use of this pattern when you want to aggregate data from multiple places into one convenient API. For example: aggregating datasets from multiple platforms into one place by using the GraphQL.
-
Proxy pattern
A proxy, in its most general form, is a class functioning as an interface to something else. The proxy could interface to anything: a network connection, a large object in memory, a file, or some other resource that is expensive or impossible to duplicate. Proxy pattern is used when you want to add functionality to an old API.
-
Facade pattern
The difference between a proxy and a facade is simple. Proxies represent the original, perhaps add some functionality like authentication. Facade simplifies the original. This pattern can be used to simplify a complex API.
-
Multi pattern
It is completely possible to mix and mash the above patterns. In a composite pattern you might also need to add a facade to an older API.
-
Anti pattern
A GraphQL is not only a wrapper to the existing API. Anti pattern is applied if you want to provide the exact same access with a different interface, consider developing a web SDK for your clients.

The Development Workflow
-
1
Obtain the customer requirements
The necessary requirements from the customer are obtained and understood clearly for the purpose of development.
-
2
Follow a similar coding style
We always make sure to follow up with the technology and hence we ensure the coding style is just the AngularJS way. A deviated code can result in hassle and make modifications difficult while updating the application.
-
3
Check the performance of the code
Once the code is done, we keep up with the performance check through various testing functions and security checks.
-
4
Build the process
Finally, when all the clutters are cleared, the process is built. The entire project as assigned is built according to the time frame given.
-
5
Cross-check with the client
A performance cross-checking is done with the client and only when it is approved, the next step proceeds as our priority is our client’s satisfaction.
-
6
Deliver the project
The last but not the least is where we deliver our successful team work output to the client within the agreed time frame.
