GraphQL with ASP.NET Core (Part- I : Hello World)

by bill-s, 2018-04-02T20:45:42.564Z

Tired of REST? Let's talk about GraphQL. GraphQL provides a declarative way in which you can fetch data from the server. You can read about every bit of goodness that is baked into GraphQL in the official site. However, in this series of blog posts, I'm going to deal with ASP.NET Core and will show how you can integrate GraphQL with it and use it as a query language for your API.

Initially they were just flat out recommendations for the tools but I decided yesterday to give them a bit more structure, add details and design them in the steps form so to give you a better idea about what to pick and in what order.

Scaffolding ASP.NET Core API Controllers

by bill-s, 2018-04-02T20:45:42.564Z

This project was to be developed in ASP.NET Core with a Web API backend and Vue.js front-end. I also wanted to develop this project completely on my Mac to ensure it was cross-platform (as it will eventually run on a Raspberry Pi), and as a learning experience.

Writing a GitHub Webhook as an Azure Function

by bill-s, 2018-04-03T20:08:27.070Z

As you may already know, I’m one of the maintainers of the FakeItEasy mocking library. As is common in open-source projects, we use a workflow based on feature branches and pull requests. When a change is requested in a PR during code review, we usually make the change as a fixup commit, because it makes it easier to review, and because we like to keep a clean history. When the changes are approved, the author squashes the fixup commits before the PR is merged. Unfortunately, I’m a little absent minded, and when I review a PR, I often forget to wait for the author to squash their commits before I merge… This causes the fixup commits to appear in the main dev branch, which is ugly.
