Hey all :wave:
Happy to share <https://open.spotify.com/episode/5jjtuwpSJnKRRD5Xpr6Bs0?si=Zbc7p0-3QQuouXv-YJVuug&amp;dl_branch=1|the latest episode> of The Developers’ Bakery:

:rocket:  *Apollo GraphQL* with <@U79JY5TL3>

Martin has the opportunity to work full time for Apollo,
probably the most popular GraphQL client for Android &amp; Kotlin Multiplatform.

In this episode Martin will tell us his experience with GraphQL,
how he got involved with the project and how it is to work full time on a oss project.

You can listen to it on the website here: <https://thebakery.dev/13/> or on the major streaming platforms.
As always, any feedback is more than welcome :pray:

Kotlin/JS has codegen and parsers but no runtime yet

There might not be that much missing. Just I haven't really had the time to dive into this but if you're willing to look into it I can point a few places to look at

It's mainly missing a `HttpEngine` that uses `fetch` or `XMLHttpRequest` or something else to do the actual call

That sounds interesting. As I'm currently writing GraphQL support for <#C01CSNG1HJ4|fritz2>, But one of their selling points is zero dependencies, so I don't know it they'll allow you to be their first one.

That's interesting ! The `apollo-api`  dependency is pretty lightweight compared to the bigger `apollo-runtime` with cache and networking. `apollo-api` itself is relatively thin. The (slightly) bigger transitive dependency is okio but maybe that's ok. What's the criteria there? Bundle size? Something else?

I might take a stab at it as we're looking for use cases for JS support, that'd be a nice example.

Well, I'm pretty new to this, so I can't speak for them. But here is the ticket: <https://github.com/jwstegemann/fritz2/issues/444>

Thanks, I'll comment there if I ever make it :slightly_smiling_face:
