A PWA IS A WEB APP THAT USES MODERN WEB CAPABILITIES TO DELIVER AN
APP-LIKE USER EXPERIENCE.

WHY Not A NATIVE APP? 🤔

OFFLINE SUPPORT

AVAILABLE OFFLINE

Install/update application

Launch application while offline

SERVICE WORKER

A Service Worker is a script that the browser runs in the background.

It acts as a proxy between the application and the network.

AVAILABLE OFFLINE

No access to sync storage

Promise-based

Requires HTTPS

Service worker - REGISTRATION

if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
  navigator.serviceWorker.register('./sw-test/sw.js')
  .then((reg) => {
    // registration worked
    console.log('Registration succeeded. Scope is ' + reg.scope);
  }).catch((error) => {
    // registration failed
    console.log('Registration failed with ' + error);
  });
}

main.js

Service worker - INSTALL

self.addEventListener('install', (event) => {
  event.waitUntil(
    caches.open('v1').then((cache) => {
      return cache.addAll([
        '/sw-test/index.html',
        '/sw-test/style.css',
        '/sw-test/app.js',
        '/sw-test/logo.jpg',
      ]);
    })
  );
});

Service worker - FETCH

self.addEventListener('fetch', (event) => {
  event.respondWith(
    caches.match(event.request).then((response) => {
      return response || fetch(event.request);
    })
  );
});

Service worker - PUSH

self.addEventListener('push', function(event) {
  const title = 'PWA man!';
  const options = {
    body: 'Hey Devoxxians!',
    icon: 'images/devoxx.png'
  };
  event.waitUntil(self.registration.showNotification(title, options));
});

DO I HAVE TO DO ALL OF THAT?

🙅‍♂️ GraphQL is not a FramEwork

A query language for your API

And a server-side runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data

REST API

SOAP API

service 

request

POST /graphQL

RESPONSE

{
  pikatchu: pokemon(id: "1") {
    name
    type
  }
}
{
  "data": {
    "pokemon": {
      "name": "Pikachu",

GRAPHQL INTEREST OVER TIME

*source: Google search envolution

Graphql key concepts

*some of them

types & fields

TO DESCRIBE YOUR DATA

POKEMON {

}

NAME

TYPE

HEALTH

THIS IS A TYPE

these are fields

NAME

TYPE

HEALTH

Fields have functions (resolvers)

function pokemon_name(pokemon) {
  return pokemon.getName();
}
function pokemon_type(pokemon) {
  return pokemon.getType();
}
function pokemon_healthname(pokemon) {
  return pokemon.getHealth();
}

to get data frOm server

YOU SHOULD USE QUERIES

{
  pikatchu: pokemon(id: "1") {
    name
    type
  }
}
{
  "data": {
    "pokemon": {
      "name": "Pikachu",
      "type": "Electric"
    }
  }
}

GRAPHQL SERVER

REQUEST

RESPONSE

THIS IS an argument

THIS IS an alias

query BestPokemon {
  pikatchu: pokemon(id: "1") {
    name
    type
  }
}

To modify server-side data

YOU NEED TO USE MUTATIONS

mutation CreatePokemonMutation() {
  createPokemon(name: "Pikachu") {
	id
	type
  }
}
{
  "data": {
    "pokemon": {
      "id" : 1
      "name": "Pikachu",
      "type": "Electric"
    }
  }
}

GRAPHQL SERVER

RESPONSE

TO PUSH DATA FROM SERVER TO  CLIENTS

GRAPHQL SPEC SUPPORTS SUBSCRIPTIONS

subscription onPokemonCreateSubscription(){

Defining a Schema

type Query {
  allPokemons(last: Int): [Pokemon!]!
}
type Query { ... }
type Mutation { ... }
type Subscription { ... }
type Mutation {
  createPokemons(name: String!, type: String!): Pokemon!

}

special root types

And a server-side runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data

GraphQL is served over HTTP

VIA A SINGLE ENDPOINT

who's the best 🤔

GRAPHQL vs OTHER API Styles

Both GRAPHQL vs REST vs SOAP “movements” are clearly fueled by unhappy, overlooked and over-served API consumers
