DeveloperWeek 2019

Since Facebook released GraphQL to the world, there has been a lot of traction on the frontend world about it. But somehow, this trend hasn’t reached backend developers. Let’s take a look into how we can introduce GraphQL into our Ruby environments to take advantage of it’s power. Let’s look into the state of GraphQL in Ruby and see how we can benefit of the amazing power that GraphQL APIs can provide us. We’ll also take a deep-dive into a tool I wrote called GQLi, a GraphQL client that enables users to write queries in native Ruby code. I’ll describe it’s philosophy, how to use it, and some cool meta-programming tricks used to create it.
