Robust APIs with clojure.spec & GraphQL

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Generates clojure.spec definitions automatically from a GraphQL schema, then extends them to express constraints GraphQL cannot (e.g. positive/limited pagination, formatted emails), uses those specs for client-side validation, resolver input/output checking, generative testing and mocking, and to produce runnable spec files for large APIs (example: GitHub produced 5446 specs). The library serene integrates with clojure.spec, is usable on both client and server, and the presenters show it working end-to-end and publish the code on GitHub.
