Flexible APIs with Spring GraphQL
A Video Tutorial on Creating a GraphQL API
Just last month, Spring Boot 2.7.0 was released and with it came Spring GraphQL 1.0.0. Spring GraphQL offers an intriguing new way to create APIs with Spring that are more flexible, require less coding in many cases, and allow the client to have a say in what data they receive.
In this tutorial video, I show how to create a GraphQL API with Spring GraphQL, including custom queries, queries backed by Spring Data repositories, and mutations. I also cover how to add and use GraphiQL in your project as a browser-based tool for interacting with your GraphQL API, as well as how to use Spring’s GraphQL client to consume APIs programmatically.
