@schickling please correct me if i’m wrong, but that feature seems to give me the ability to modify posted data (validate) - and not modify the data the user receives. This could be adding a custom ordering function

@sschonert sorry for the delay: validation as they are planned at the moment would be used to reject mutations which would result in an invalid state. custom mutations could be used to modify the mutation arguments

@schickling no problem - was not expecting you guys to answer during the evening 👏🏻

Hi guys, what is the database technology behind graph.cool?

Hi @olifante - this is a question we get surprisingly often. I think we will have to write a blogpost about our infrastructure 🙂 Maybe you can tell me a bit about why you are interested in this and what aspects you would like to know more about?

I'm wary of any hosted database that does not have a self-hosting option

with hosted mongodb, I can always move from a hosted solution to my own hosting

Also, it's important to know how reliable and mature the underlying technology is. Databases need to be rock-solid.

Those are very good points. You will always be able to export your data and because your application uses GraphQL - an open standard - to communicate to the Graphcool backend you could create a backend that exposes the same api and transition to that without rewriting your apps. We are using the AWS Aurora database. If you are interested in database technology i highly recommend checking it out.

tak ska du ha!

You are very welcome 🙂

Graphql summit talks available 😄 http://graphqlsummit.com/

That’s awesome!

Btw, if anybody happens to be in Berlin we are having a mini conference of our own next wednesday https://www.meetup.com/en-US/graphql-berlin/events/230648688/

@dgbrt has written a really helpful blog article on how to import data to your Graphcool project: https://masterreactnative.com/importing-data-via-a-graphql-endpoint-6b9f2feccc2c#.wq9m5ra9u

awesome! did you tweet about it, @dgbrt? looks really cool. and of course, everyone loves pokemons pokemon charmander

@schickling @nilan thanks guys! I'm so glad you find it helpful. I just tweeted about it tagging graphcool ;) Pokémon Ftw !

Where's best to send feedback?

Hey @thisismissem! Welcome to our Slack! If it's about the console then please open an issue here: https://github.com/graphcool/console

If it's more general then this repo is a good place: https://github.com/graphcool/feature-requests

From the GraphiQL editor, is there a variable that represents the currently signed in user?

(using simple mode, not relay)

There isn't a variable, but you can do a query like this:

{
  user{
    id
  }
}

oh

Hi! simple smile I wanted to try out the tutorial on learnapollo.com but when I click the "Get GraphQL Endpoint" button, an error appears in the console:

Fetch API cannot load <https://73zvpdo0k5.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/prod/lambda-learnapollo_auth>. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin '<https://learnapollo.com>' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 502. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

hey @klaussner, we are currently still in the process of putting up learn apollo simple smile how have you heard of it?

@nilan btw will it be .com or .org?

@sashko I guess we'll focus on the .com

I feel like it would be best to have the other one redirect
