Lab: GraphQL – The elegant and efficient way to interact with your data

In this lab you'll get hands-on with GraphQL with a fun use case.

GraphQL is a query language for your API. While similar to REST, GraphQL allows you to make requests and responses more efficient. You can easily introspect your API to avoid digging into the back end. It is used in UI Builder and Service Portal.

Understand how to define a schema on the server, use resolvers to encapsulate types, and make requests via the client. Start with a simple query to get data and get more complex to fetch structured data.

Explore mutations to modify data and variables to make your queries flexible.
