I played with GraphQL a bit and what really put me off is the schema being defined in a string, so no strong typing, no coherence between the schema and the code etc
It's kind of ok for jedi and Todo examples but a full blown API will become very difficult to manage.
Does anyone know of an implementation that doesn't rely on schema in a string?
well I think the way they solve that is by having extensions like this one marketplace.visualstudio.com/items... so you at least have tooling support. I mean it is strongly typed. You get quite good indications that you are doing it wrong if you start typing in GraphIQL, the UI environment
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
