10/19/2016, 7:01 AMwe don't have any vanilla JS examples - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:01 AMthat examples list is kind of like "all examples" - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:02 AMbut most people using Apollo use it with Angular 2 or React right now - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:02 AMwhat are you trying to do? - m
Matt Mueller (Prisma Client PM)
10/19/2016, 7:02 AMi'm looking at making it work using functional components with preact - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:02 AMdoes preact work with React libraries, like react-redux? - m
Matt Mueller (Prisma Client PM)
10/19/2016, 7:04 AMyep, but so far trying to avoid that. i'm trying to find the most minimal implementation i can find that combines graphql queries and caches results - m
Matt Mueller (Prisma Client PM)
10/19/2016, 7:04 AMcache can be a layer on top of redux or something else. - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:06 AMwell, it depends on what kind of cache you need. - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:06 AMI think Apollo is about the simplest thing which 1. gives you a consistent cache that can be updated, and 2. supports all of GraphQL - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:07 AMI wouldn't call it "minimal", but it has a minimal API and is very flexible - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:07 AMif you compromise on supporting all of GraphQL there are perhaps some other options - m
Matt Mueller (Prisma Client PM)
10/19/2016, 7:07 AMwhat do you mean by #2? - m
Matt Mueller (Prisma Client PM)
10/19/2016, 7:08 AMlike subscriptions and things? - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:08 AMlike, there's cashay which doesn't support directives/nested arrays - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:08 AMlike - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:08 AMeven complete normalization is not easy - m
Matt Mueller (Prisma Client PM)
10/19/2016, 7:08 AMoh gotcha - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:08 AMyou could also build your own using this: https://github.com/apollostack/graphql-anywhere - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:08 AMthis is the core "GraphQL" tech inside AC - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:08 AMso essentially you just normalize your data, then use this to select it out of the cache - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:09 AMApollo Client does 2 things: 1. normalize and denormalize data, and 2. handles async loading and connecting to UI - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:09 AMso this gives you most of (1) - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:09 AMif you're into building your own stuff it could be a fun option - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:09 AMplus, graphql-anywhere could use some contributors :] - m
Matt Mueller (Prisma Client PM)
10/19/2016, 7:09 AMah sweet, i'll definitely look into this - m
Matt Mueller (Prisma Client PM)
10/19/2016, 7:10 AMthanks for the help! - s
sashko
10/19/2016, 7:10 AMno problem, maybe more info than you bargained for :] - m
Matt Mueller (Prisma Client PM)
10/19/2016, 7:11 AMnope, really appreciate the details. just sort of assumed apollo was lumped into big solutions for big companies - m
Matt Mueller (Prisma Client PM)
10/19/2016, 7:11 AMbut it seems like the client or it's innards could be useful for little ole me 😛
