# Learning GraphQL

This repository is my attempt to learn GraphQL by going through the [official RFC specification](http://facebook.github.io/graphql/) and the [sample JavaScript implementation](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js).

The Official Specification is meant for anyone who wants to implement GraphQL core in any language. I felt the need of a simpler version that speaks only JavaScript in its APIs and examples instead of being generic, so I wrote it down myself and shared with hope that others might find it useful too.

**Update:** [graphql.org](http://graphql.org/) site came out later, which took more straightforward approach to documenting it. I've updated the contents of this series taking a lot from this new dedicated site for GraphQL.

## Table of Content:

1. [What is GraphQL](https://github.com/mugli/learning-graphql/blob/master/1.%20What%20is%20GraphQL.md)

2. [Basic Query Syntax](https://github.com/mugli/learning-graphql/blob/master/2.%20Basic%20Query%20Syntax.md)

3. [Querying with Field Aliases and Fragments](https://github.com/mugli/learning-graphql/blob/master/3.%20Querying%20with%20Field%20Aliases%20and%20Fragments.md)

4. [Querying with Directives](https://github.com/mugli/learning-graphql/blob/master/4.%20Querying%20with%20Directives.md)

5. [On the Server-Side - Creating Your First Schema](https://github.com/mugli/learning-graphql/blob/master/5.%20On%20the%20Server-Side%20-%20Creating%20Your%20First%20Schema.md)

6. [A Working GraphQL Server in Nodejs](https://github.com/mugli/learning-graphql/blob/master/6.%20A%20Working%20GraphQL%20Server%20in%20Nodejs.md)

7. [Deep Dive into GraphQL Type System](https://github.com/mugli/learning-graphql/blob/master/7.%20Deep%20Dive%20into%20GraphQL%20Type%20System.md)

8. [Mutations](https://github.com/mugli/learning-graphql/blob/master/8.%20Mutations.md)

9. Introspection (TBD)

10. A Working GraphQL Server v2 (TBD)

## Plan

I intend to use these documents to make workshopper lessons. Any kind of contributions are welcome, more if you feel like adding tasks and test suits in the workshopper.
