A practical course to get you up to speed with the key aspects of GraphQL, including queries, mutations, scalar types, image management, authentication, and authorizationAbout This VideoLearn the key aspects of GraphQL and create sample applicationsExplore how to create custom scalars, how authentication and authorization work in GraphQL, and much moreIn DetailHave you heard about GraphQL? Have you always wanted to understand GraphQL? If yes, this course will help you learn about GraphQL in a hands-on manner.As you progress through the course, you will acquire the skills necessary to understand and work with GraphQL's basic as well as advanced features, including but not limited to the following:Understand basic scalar typesCreate custom scalarsBecome familiar with resolvers and type definitions (Schemas)Understand the importance of a data model in GraphQLExplore how GraphQL queries work, including parameterized queriesGain working knowledge of GraphQL mutationsGet to grips with how file uploads work using GraphQLLearn how to serve images in the GraphQL contextStudy how authentication and authorization work in GraphQLYou'll create four sample applications:A basic application to run GraphQL queriesAn advanced application that uses React to work with GraphQLEnhance the existing application and extend it with authentication and authorizationAn application to understand how to serve/display images and upload files using only GraphQLIn this course, you'll mostly use Apollo GraphQL services for building your apps.Familiarity with React is required to get started with this course. You'll use React to create several applications; however, it only covers the React parts that are relevant to the context.Downloading the example code for this course: You can download the example code files for this course on GitHub at the following link: https://github.com/fullstacktraining/Practical-GraphQL-Become-a-GraphQL-Ninja.
