Is it possible to do more complex requests in GraphQL, like getting the favorite venues of people that favored "Garaje" or is it left to the API provider?
Try https://learngraphql.com gives a very good idea of what graphql is. Way better than reading the official documentation or spec.
Once I went through it, made up my mind that our API as a service product should support Graphql.
Note: I am in no way related to the site.. It is free and I finally actually understood what graphql is in 15 mins.
The closest you could get is the users who rated the business:
business(id: "garaje-san-francisco") {
reviewers {
rating
user {
name
}
}
}
business(id: "garaje-san-francisco") {
related_businesses {
business {
name
}
}
} business(id: "garaje-san-francisco") {
reviewers {
rating
user {
name
favorited_businesses {
id
name
}
}
}
}Using the business as the root query would be a bit cumbersome, but more like:
business(id: "garaje-san-francisco") {
reviewers {
user {
name
favorited_businesses
favorited_businesses(name: "garaje")
}
}
}
user {
name
favorited_businesses
favorited_businesses(name: "garaje")
}
