On February 1, I announced that I was no longer employed at Gatsby, and stated a blog post would be coming soon.

I’m so excited to announce WPGraphQL 1.0!

The GraphiQL IDE is an incredibly helpful tool when using GraphQL. WPGraphiQL has been the go-to GraphiQL IDE for use with WPGraphQL, and today we’ve released v1.0.0 of the WPGraphiQL IDE, now with the AMAZING GraphQL Explorer feature, courtesy of the fine folks at OneGraph.com.

TL;DR

Starting today, WPGraphQL for Advanced Custom Fields is FREE!

I am pleased to announce the beta release of my FacetWP integration plugin for WPGraphQL. 

Today, I had the pleasure of being featured on the Syntax.fm podcast with hosts Wes Bos and Scott Tolinsky.

Many folks using WPGraphQL have asked about how to use GraphQL with their ACF data. The answer has typically been to manually map their ACF fields to the GraphQL schema using functions like register_graphql_field and register_graphql_object_type. For a few fields, this isn’t much of an issue, but when you have dozens of fields, this gets very tedious.

Today, we’ve released WPGraphQL for Advanced Custom Fields, which automatically adds your Advanced Custom Fields to your WPGraphQL Schema.

I’ve done many presentations about the WPGraphQL plugin, and I find myself showing demos of many of the same features, so in order to streamline the demos before my presentation at the 2018 WordCamp Phoenix, I created https://playground.wpgraphql.com

FreeCodeCamp is a popular YouTube channel that posts free videos about coding. Today, Jesse Weigel did a live coding session diving into using GraphQL with WordPress and after comparing a few options, he settled on using WPGraphQL.

In 2015, Huey Petersen wrote an article about instrumenting a GraphQL schema to track resolver times and provide insight into how the GraphQL server is performing. Since then Apollo Optics has taken the instrumentation to a new level, providing a SaaS solution for storing data about your GraphQL requests. The Apollo team has also been working on a proposal to standardize the instrumentation, and they’re calling it Apollo Tracing.
