Introduction to JAMstack, Angular and why it's important

Graphql and it's core concepts

Get our hands dirty

Today's challenge

If you ask "What will I learn Today?"

How to Build JAM stack (Angular) App with Graphql

A quick Time travel

through the history of web development

@kokkisajee

So it all began..

@kokkisajee

Server

1. Request

2. HTML

@kokkisajee

Dynamic Websites

@kokkisajee

Backend

1. Request

4. Dynamically generated HTML

DB

2. Query

3. Results

But: "Click and wait" for every page

@kokkisajee

Server

1. Request

2. HTML

3. AJAX Request

4. XML (oder JSON)

@kokkisajee

The age of SPAs and Stacks

Linux
Apache
MySQL
PHP

Mongo
E
xpress
Angular
Node

Mongo
E
xpress
React
Node

Traditional Work Flow

WebServer

Client

AppServer

DB

@kokkisajee

Advantages

No full reload on further navigation

Better UX compared to "click and wait"

Problems

Slow Time to first paint (due to parsing)

White screen / flash of content

Javascript generates HTML -> bad SEO

mediocre UX for initial page load

@kokkisajee

And now?

@kokkisajee

Traditional SSR

"Old" Static pages

Single Page Apps

Server Side Rendering

JAMstack

CDN

Client

DB

@kokkisajee

JAMstack

@kokkisajee

J

A

M

avascript

PIs

arkup

@kokkisajee

Static, won't be modified by server

Generated on build-time (before (re-)deploying)

Usually compiled/built via Static Site Generator (SSG)

Markup

@kokkisajee

<app-make-meme *ngIf="imgUrl" [imageUrl]="imgUrl"></app-make-meme>

Example (Angular)

@kokkisajee

Responsible for the website's dynamics

Only on client-side

Independent of frameworks or libraries

Javascript

@kokkisajee

Used for interacting with the website (comments, forms...)

Called through Javascript and HTTPS

Good fit: Microservices, Serverless Functions or similar

APIs

@kokkisajee

Beispiel (serverless fn)

import { promisify } from 'util'
import sendmail from 'sendmail'

const shouldSend = process.env.SEND_MAIL

exports.handler = async (event) => {
  if (event.httpMethod !== 'POST') {
    return { statusCode: 405, body: JSON.stringify({ 'error': 'Method not allowed' }) }
  }
  try {
    const params = JSON.parse(event.body)
    const attributes = ['name', 'email', 'msg']
    const sanitizedAttributes = attributes.map(n => validateAndSanitize(n, params[n]))
    const someInvalid = sanitizedAttributes.some(r => !r)

    if (someInvalid) {
      return { statusCode: 422, body: JSON.stringify({ 'error': 'Ugh.. That looks unprocessable!' }) }
    }

    const sendMail = (name, email, msg) => pSendMail({
      from: email,
      to: process.env.MAIL_TO,
      subject: 'New contact form message',
      text: msg
    })

    try {
      await sendMail(...sanitizedAttributes)
      return { statusCode: 200, body: JSON.stringify({ 'message': 'OH YEAH' }) }
    } catch (e) { /* */ }
  } catch (_) { /* */}
}

@kokkisajee

Create your page

via SSG

Upload your code

via Git

Build your page with your SSG

Deploy the static Files via CDN or similar

Done!

JAMStack(static) Apps Workflow

@kokkisajee

But why JAMstack?

@kokkisajee

Performance

Simplicity

Security

Cost

@kokkisajee

Simplicity

Only static HTML files, no .php / .py / ...

You don't need a server*

No difficult deploy pipelines anymore!

*hosting via. GitHub pages oder Netlify

@kokkisajee

Security

No content generated "on the fly". Static files!

API endpoints are small and ideally isolated

Good practice: "Content API" only available at build time

@kokkisajee

@kokkisajee

Performance

Improved Time to first Byte due to CDN

Easy Cache Invalidation

Quick Response Time as it is just HTML

Ideal for SEO

@kokkisajee

Cost

No server, no server fees!

Free Hosting (via Netlify or GH Pages)

Serverless APIs are billed by usage

@kokkisajee

@kokkisajee

@kokkisajee

We need to talk about graphQL

@kokkisajee

Once upon a time..

a sweet little Web developer...

Yep, this stickman 

@kokkisajee

He was happy

writing desktop &

Web apps...

Like normal happy

@kokkisajee

Then Mobile Apps came

took over the world
and he was like...

"Man, I know nothing
but JavaScript, HTML
and CSS!" #Meh

@kokkisajee

He had to have multiple faces

build apps
with different sources

But still he had to learn new languages and stuff that would take forever

@kokkisajee

Then he discovered

Graphql

Typical architecture of a web application using REST APIs

Designing our REST query

Get person data using an ID

{
  "name": "Maithiri Sirisena",
  "birthYear": "41.9BBY",
  "CourseId": 1
  "filmIds": [1, 2, 3, 6]
}
GET /participants/{id}

GET /participant/4

Designing our REST query

Then to read the course’s name, we ask:


GET /participants/4

GET /participants/1

Designing our REST query

And to read the attended session titles, we ask:


GET /participants/4

GET /courses/1

GET /sessions/1

GET /sessions/2

GET /sessions/3

GET /sessions/6

Takeaway points

  • We made 6 network calls to get what we needed
  • UI Developer had to tailor the responses to fit the needs
  • Alternate is create a dedicated endpoint for this view but then scaling will become difficult to manage with changing requirements

Common problems with REST

Issue#1 Multiple round trips

Issue#2 Over-fetching of data

While requesting nested data, we often have to make several round trips or define an entirely newend point

Wouldn't it be nice if client receives only the data that it requires?

Issue#3 Absence of  Self-Documentation

The onus lies with the developer to document the API and allow exploration and discovery of your APIs.

GraphQL approach

GET /graphql?query=

{
  Participant(ID: 4) {
    name,
    alias,
    comments {
      description
    },
    sessions {
      title
    }
  }
}


{
  "data": {
    "person": {
      "name": "Ranil",
      "alias":Wick
      "Comments": {
        "name": ""
      },
      "Sessions": [
        { "title": "Database Internals" },
        { "title": "Graphql" }
    }
  }
}

Who is using GraphQL

{
  "me": {
    "name": "Sajeetharan"
  }
}
{
  me {
    name
  }
}

@kokkisajee

How cool is that!?

@kokkisajee

Add Mutations to Schema in the Server

type Query {
  getTodos: [Todo!]!
}

type Mutation {
  addTodo(title: String!, done: Boolean! = false): [Todo!]!
  updateTodo(id: ID!, done: Boolean!): [Todo!]!
}

type Todo {
  id: ID!
  title: String!
  done: Boolean!
}

@kokkisajee

Add Mutation Resolvers

import {makeExecutableSchema} from 'graphql-tools';
import {GraphQLSchema} from 'graphql';
import {IResolvers} from 'graphql-tools';
