GraphQL - A different way to API

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

A working user-management GraphQL API using Express + express-graphql and a React client demonstrates schema-first strings vs object-type schemas, custom resolvers, a custom scalar Date, enums and interfaces, plus query and mutation endpoints. Live demo returns a Hello string and a users list from a hardcoded object, the React app fetches and renders those users, and the talk notes Prisma/Graphcool as backend options while warning that nested fields require explicit resolver code.
