GraphCMS uses Graph.Cool, but their CMS is however a proprietary solution. Have a look: https://graphcms.com/

Yeah, I look at theirs, but it's really limited.
v
Nothing else out there built on top of GC β€” at least that is publicly available. My client will be building theirs on top of GC, but it won’t be available to the public I am afraid.
s
Oh, it doesn't need to be built using GC. Just meant any CMS that does headless/api type management that I can manually integrate with GC.
v
ha, I see
not aware of any in that sense
s
Cool, thanks for the response though!

uploadcare has a decent api for pictures cropping, scaling, ect. through the url if you are wanting to build your own CMS. Don't remember how it does with other content aside from video. Hope this helps-

Ty sir!

@senorcodecat there's https://github.com/marmelab/aor-graphql/tree/master/packages/aor-graphql-client-graphcool but haven't looked closer into it. would be cool to hear some feedback about that if you use it!
looks like @Toosick is using it, can you share some experience there? πŸ™‚
s
@nilan I just started setting this up yesterday πŸ™‚
Documentation is really lacking, so it's going slowly
v
Interesting stuff.
Anyone played with this? http://crudl.io/
s
If the documentation is better, I'll test it out today. aor-graphql takes a lot of setup and it isn't clear how much of the regular aor doc applies to the graphql version.

it would be awesome if you can share your experiences in the forum πŸ™‚

Speaking of the forum, I get this every time I try to login with GitHub:
Copy code
Sorry, there was an error authorizing your account. Perhaps you did not approve authorization?
Maybe I have to signup firsT? πŸ˜„
Nha, same error
n
could you try email/pw instead?
v
(I am not signed up)
I can signup with email/pass though

Testing out CRUDL now
Will report back
n
awesome!

Actually, going to finish up testing aor. Found this article that addresses the lack of documentation. https://marmelab.com/blog/2017/06/01/aor-graphql.html

Nothing I hate more than front-end and CRUD coding
Genuinely loathe it

Admin on rest is a lot bigger than crudl and has more features. Admin on rest is close with the graphql & graphcool client. There are still a couple bugs and features needed but it works just fine. I would highly suggest using Admin on rest if you want to use GraphQL/Graphcool and React. It's amazing and comes with so many components and functionality that would take months to build yourself.

It still is heavily tied to the REST paradigm of fetching a resource or many of the same resources. It would be nice to fetch all the data you need for a page in 1 go (what GraphQL is built for). But it's not there yet. You can fetch many resources related to other many resources but it takes 2 requests.

@Toosick Mind fielding a question I have around customizing mutation query field types?
Skipped on Crudl due to lack of development and support. Moving forward with aor-graphql but it's pretty buggy.
t
The demo has quite a few bugs. Not too hard to fix the problems.
