Discussion on: Learn how you can use GraphQL in .NET Core and C#

[Chris Noring]

Generally, you use a query that takes a parameter on the GraphQL side

// schema
{
  Query {
    GetCommentById(id: ID): Comment
  } 
}

// asking the query
query <name it something> {
  GetCommentById(id: 1)
}

As for dealing with .NET Core and MongoDB you have a tutorial here docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/co... . I suppose I could be writing a tutorial on GraphQL, .NET Core and MongoDB if you are interested?

Also have a look here dev.to/dotnet/how-you-can-build-a-... This shows how our request is passed from API to DB layer

I tried do to a combination of GraphQL, .NET Core and MongoDB but can seem te get the MongoDb working to you still need to use a DBContext and DBsets or can you just use IMongoCollection's like in the Microsoft tutorial?

Hi thank you for the links.
I would be very much interested in reading a tutorial on how to implement a GraphQl server with .NET Core and MongoDb.
So far only managed to implement it when all data sat in memory, which is of course not an acceptable solution.

I'm looking into a GraphQL solution currently called Hot Chocolate. It has the concept of loaders. Yes some data need to sit in memory, but not all. Maybe that can offer a path forward? hotchocolate.io/docs/introduction....
