Connectors Workshop: Declaratively Connect REST APIs and GraphQL

Description:

Orchestrating data from multiple REST APIs into a unified GraphQL layer doesn't have to mean rewriting everything. Let's use Apollo Connectors to skip the resolver boilerplate and get straight to building. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to declaratively connect your REST endpoints to your graph using just configuration in the schema. We’ll walk through how to fetch and combine data, pass arguments, troubleshoot your work, and more—all using tools built right into Apollo.

What you'll do:

• Connect REST API endpoints to a GraphQL schema using Connector directives

• Debug Connector mappings using Sandbox Explorer and the Connectors Mapping Playground

Who this workshop is for:

Anyone looking to get started with graph-based orchestration. You don't need to know any particular programming language!

Pre-requisites

• Basic experience with APIs.

• (Recommended) Some familiarity with GraphQL SDL.
