Learn to use GraphQL in a Rails app to talk to your front-end clients. Updated in 2022!
Content updated in 2022 to reflect latest versions of Ruby, Rails and GraphQL!
This course teaches the basics of using GraphQL in a Rails application. GraphQL is a query language invented by Facebook in 2012, and made open source in 2015. While it has certain clear advantages over REST, it also has a somewhat steeper learning curve.
Structured in a simple and accessible manner, these lectures will help you get on your way to using GraphQL to circulate data between back-end and front-end applications.
In the first section we will learn about reading data. The second section will be focused on changing data, and the slightly more advanced third section is about protecting data, using techniques both implemented in the GraphQLÂ library or suggested by myself.
GraphQLÂ has a number of features that make it an advantageous change for REST adopters, like the ability to only get what you ask for, or having instant API documentation available after every change. After completing this course, you'll be in a position to implement GraphQLÂ in a new or existing Rails application with basic features all the way up to authorisation and access control. This should definitely get you started on your way!
Use GraphQL to communicate between back-end and front-end, including authentication.

I started web development since the early days of the web, and since then have worked for several companies, large and small. After co-owning a dev firm, I worked as a Software Architect for a large Swedish company.In addition to programming, I'm passionate about foreign languages. I'm a book author, I play guitar and I fly helicopters.I'm 46 years old...
Clarity not there on mobile. Also zooming in is hard in the app
It’s nice
Really direct and to the point on the basics of GraphQL.
Thank you Alex! Looking forward to an advanced course.
Ha sido muy técnica y fácil de comprender, pero tienes que tener conocimientos de Ruby para entender mucho mejor.
Overall, it was "ok." I wish there were examples on
1- How to do a specific call using rails controller (index or create, etc.) with Postman and how to do the same call with GraphQl
2- How to use GraphQl with Postman.
3- How can applications communicate with each other using API calls?
4- Explain why it's helpful to switch from REST to GraphQl.
Great introduction.
Would love to see some more advanced topics like pagination or rate limiting included.
Great way to explain things, i really wish the series would have continued, is sad to see this is the only course from him
It was easy to understand and as the lessons are very short it was very easy to accomplish. I think is a good beginning for graphql in Rails.
pace is good. clear explanations
