I think ES2015 is required for template literals

CoffeeScript uses backticks to execute code directly as JavaScript. This conflicts with Relay's usage of backticks to write query fragments.

ah I’ll have to look for a way around this

do you have to use Apollo?

(or is it Relay?)

I’m using Apollo, and no I don’t have to. I think i prefer it though

using a simpler GraphQL Client like

graphql-request

could be an option if you don't need client-side caching

ah ok, sounds like Apollo should be the better choice then

Oh, you're using coffeescript

wow that looks funny 😄

I'm not sure this works with

gql

but let us know!

It's just about the syntax used to pass a multiline string to gqp without needing to include loads of \n control characters in a standard string. ES2015 provides template literal strings which, as well as adding the ability to inject values, can be written across multiple lines. Coffeescript has template literals too but uses " rather than ` as the syntax for them

now its unexpected string. hmm well good thing we’re also converting out of Coffescript with the refactor 😅 haha This is enough info to work off of though, thanks guys!

Yeah, using coffeescript makes it a lot harder to use example code that is in vanilla ES as you have to account for these syntax differences

do _nodeMeta { count } values get pushed to Algolia integrations when a new related node is created?

How do you authenticate WS connections using apollo’s

SubscriptionClient

?

I am unable to delete data using the GraphCool interface, though it shows no error -the data remains. When I try to delete via a mutation in the playground, I get the error:

"The field 'event' on type 'Call' is required. Performing this mutation would violate the constraint"

Events can have multiple 'calls'. So, should I assume to delete one Event means I have to delete all Calls related to that Event? If so, can anyone advise on doing this when there are multiple Calls to remove?

Would it be possible to extend a token that is sent by graph.cool after successful login?

Is it possible to upload non-image files?

This is something I'm struggling with in apollo I guess but any direction for any framework might be helpful. I'm looking to create a mutation that creates multiple types at once. The specific example I have is if there is a

post

and each post has

categories

or

tags

. How would I add a post as well as the related categories in a single call?

I have three collections of users for one of my types (organization) - clients, staff, and admin.. my gut is telling me to just build three m-m relationships between organization and user and name them accordingly.. am I thinking of this too SQL-y? 😄

anyone know if RS256 is now supported?

Hello! I have a quick question. I am doing the HowToGraphQL tutorial. On the react-apollo tutorial we come across this snippet:

const ALL_LINKS_QUERY = gql`
  # 2
  query AllLinksQuery {
    allLinks {
      id
      createdAt
      url
      description
    }
  }
`;

My question is, what in Javascript allows gql to work like that?

It is not written like a function, but it seems to behave like one

that’s an ES6 feature called template literals

There's an explanation of the syntax of calling a function without parentheses when using a template string here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33660518/why-can-functions-be-called-without-parentheses-when-using-template-strings

Oooh, didn't know about tagged template literals

Cool, thank you!
