Execute Queries and Mutations on a GraphQL API using Insomnia

GraphQL

Share this video with your friends

We'll use Insomnia to explore the API that we will be building our application against. I'll give you a tour of our GraphQL API and then start writing some queries. To get a feel of the data that is being sent back we will run queries for All Stories, Story By ID, Add Bookmark, All Bookmarks, and Remove Bookmark.

Does this course require any pre-requisites? Asking since the first video seems to be "getting right into it" and wasn't sure if there was an introduction course prefacing this?

Hi Kolton! The main purpose of this course was to show how to use graphQL with React Native, so it's an intermediate course from a React Native perspective, but an intro course from a graphQL perspective. Hope this helps!
