TLDR GraphQL?

Hey Friends, I am writing a Tl;Dr (Too long; Didn't read) blog post about Using GraphQL on the client side.
Mainly for folks to get the information they want without getting overwhelmed with long documentation.

I have a lot in mind to write about already, like basic querying, Fragments, arguments etc... and I would like you to help me with more information.

What was the information you wished you knew when working with GraphQL and or you wished there was a better explanation for it?

I am planning to post the blog post in the next 2 days

Cheers,
Khaled

I would love to see a non-trivial example which motivates the use case of GraphQL. Most tutorials that I've seen seem to show a very basic query which could easily be fulfilled by any other architectural style.

My blog post will start with a basic query and evolve it each time to show case a new concept, what do you think?

That sounds like an ideal format! One of my major challenges with figuring out if I care about GraphQL enough to try to learn it has been trying to find resources on what happens beyond the beginning stages of a project using GraphQL.

I'm looking forward to it :)

How to get the types from the schema, like how to generate typescript from it. I really liked to use subscriptions.

That's a great Idea but I don't think it will make it at least for this one, maybe we'll have TLDR server side.
I am trying to have a first beginner friendly and mostly client side GraphQL
