Using a different GraphQL client

[crabasa]

I’m fully on board with standardizing on a single set of tools, no need to have that argument in this thread

I would strongly suggest taking a look at gqless, though. I saw another thread about providing first class TypeScript support:

Any WIP on TypeScript support?

Hi everyone, I discovered Redwood like a week or so and I felt in love, that’s exactly what I’ve been searching for so long! I’d love to contribute! I’d like to help getting TypeScript on board, seems like a priority for me. I wanted to know if there’s work in progress on that side and how could I join in if any. For sure I’ve got an eye on GitHub issues if I can help on another subject.

As you work towards a 1.0, I think the idea of having explicitly declared GraphQL queries in the client will feel very redundant (and error prone) if it is instead possible to simply reference an object, access its properties, and have the GQL query constructed on the fly. That was, among other things, the magic of ActiveRecord. And it would be great to see it in RedwoodJS.
