GraphQl #12

Open ShawnToubeau opened 5 years ago

ShawnToubeau commented 5 years ago

Maybe we want to incorporate GraphQl into the project? I've used it once but would like to get some more experience with it

uptonm commented 5 years ago

So we have a few choices to make if we want to implement GraphQL. The first of which is the library we use. The main 2 options I see are:

So I'd like to open this issue up to discussion to decide which of these would be the right implementation for our project.

Also whether we need graphQl in the first place. I've used apollo before but would be open to trying express-graphql

GraphQL would be a lot more convenient if we end up storing a decent amount of data on each document in mongo as it would allow us to only request the fields that we actually need to access as opposed to the whole document at a time.
