Graphcool looks like a great alternative for Firebase

With role management 😄

How do I go about server side validation?

Would I have to use the webhooks or AWS Lambda functions?

I'm using Parse now and love how I can use my own libraries with Cloud Code for validation and other logic checks

Yep, we are offering a few improvements over what's possible with Firebase, namely the data structure and permission system as well as easy integration of your business workflow 🙂

That's great... Also, found the tutorial to be really helpful

Functions/custom code is something that we will integrate more and more in our service. Right now AWS Lambda/other webhooks like micro/now or webtask is a good way to implement things like server side validation. Happy to chat more in PM about your specific use case 🙂

Yes please!

I'll PM you

I have one to many relationship between 2 models. I deleted the parent nide but child nodes are still around. I would expect the platform to handle this automatically. Or am i missing some setting?

You are talking about 'cascading deletes'. Sometimes you want to have them, and sometimes you don't want to have them. So not doing cascading deletes is a safe default option 🙂

What is your specific use case? Is a child node without a parent useless and should not exist in your project?

Ok. Do we have an option somewgere in the console to enable cascade delete?

No, but we currently collecting feedback on the API. Let's discuss this further in PM 🙂

I’m just using my regular account, @nilan. No hurry.

cool! You can use another email as well 🙂

Does graph.cool allow exporting the data stored if I choose to go to self-hosted in the future?

Currently the best way to export your data is by using a script. We are exploring easier ways, in particular an 'export schema' feature. Your feedback on how exactly this could look like, or an even better way is highly appreciated 🙂

Does graph.cool support Apollo’s

query-batching

? http://dev.apollodata.com/core/network.html#query-batching

> Query batching is a transport-level mechanism that works only with servers that support it (for example Apollo’s graphql-server.

we don't support that yet but are in contact with Apollo about it. what do you need it for?

Yo baby yo!

Hey @kmandrup, welcome to our Slack 👋

I am working on creating my my first mutation. Is there a guide I look at for syntax. I just want to create a new model, do I have to associate it with my user/viewer as well?

no, you just create the model in the UI

and the according mutations are right there in your schema
