GraphQL has quickly become a data API alternative to REST due to its flexible query structure, and the community has developed a mature GraphQL module for Drupal that makes setting up a decoupled CMS a snap. This talk will dive into:
-
How you can quickly set up Drupal to use GraphQL for its data APIs
-
Basic GraphQL queries including Fragments, Aliases, and Arguments
-
Beyond out-of-the-box: creating custom fields, types, and interfaces
-
