Unfortunately I’m on a bus to the airport for a couple of days so I’m a bit constrained.

If you know Postgres, I would recommend taking a look at Postgraphile. It’s awesome, and comes with an explorer web UI that really helps (GraphIQL with extras). Everything happens in real time. so if you update a view, the UI updates.

There are lots of GraphQL clients but many of them do all sorts of crap you don’t need. I just use graphql-request which is super simple. But of course you can just use fetch() too.

There are also lots of “standards” for GraphQL that make it seem more complex than it is. Ignore that stuff and just start playing with a good server like Postgraphile.

Good luck!
