4 sections • 22 lectures • 2h 15m total length

Introduction13:43
Explore the basics of GraphQL, how it replaces REST APIs, and how to query a GraphQL server with a client using schemas, fields, fragments, and mutations.
Understanding GraphQL Queries (Fields/Variables/Arguments/Alias/Operation Name)12:59
Explore GraphQL queries, covering fields, arguments, alias, operation name, and variables. See how aliases rename fields, operation names differentiate queries, and variables pass product ids in the playground.
Understanding GraphQL Queries (Mutations/Fragments/Directives)14:13
Explore fragments, directives, and mutations in GraphQL with GraphQL .NET and ASP.NET, using reusability and conditional fields to create and query components and products.
Understanding GraphQL Types6:30
Discover how GraphQL types define a strong schema, with scalar and object types like product and component, and learn how the schema enables cross-language code generation via co-generation tools.
Summary0:21
Discover how GraphQL works, create basic GraphQL queries, and examine the basic schema types, setting the stage for the next section.

Introduction0:46
Explore building a simple core web api project with energy framework, access data from the skylight database, and apply energy framework repository patterns.
Adding Entity Framework ORM to our ASP.NET Project6:04
Seeding data and creating controllers6:27
Seed data for energy framework by creating a seed data class and a static extension on the product db context, then inject it in startup and expose a products controller.
Repository Pattern for Data access from EF ORM4:26
Create a product repository to access data via an EF ORM context, expose get all products, and wire it through dependency injection for easy testing and data retrieval.
Summary0:50
Build and test an ASP.NET Core Web API using a simple template, create controllers, implement a repository pattern to access data, and reuse this interface for the GraphQL .NET server.

Introduction0:21
Explore building a GraphQL server with GraphQL .NET and ASP.NET, and learn to implement and configure the server in this section.
Creating GraphQL QueryType, Root Query and Schema13:51
Build a GraphQL server using the graphical darknet library by defining product and component types, a root query and schema, with repositories and an interactive playground UI.
Adding Nested Query support5:38
Add nested query support by introducing a component type and resolving it through a component repository, enabling products to expose their components via GraphQL .NET.
Adding Query Argument Support6:44
Add query argument support to fetch a specific product by id or name in a GraphQL .NET and ASP .NET server, updating the schema and resolver logic.
Adding Nested Query Argument Support5:27
Add nested query argument support by resolving a component inside the product type. Extend the query type to expose components via the component repository with dependency injection.
Adding Mutation9:07
Implement a component insertion mutation using a component input type and component mutation in a GraphQL .NET and ASP.NET project, wiring name, description, and product id.

Introduction2:59
Explore GraphQL testing by using a GraphQL client to perform post and get operations with query and mutation variables, validating JSON responses and ensuring query accuracy.
Create GraphQLClient to access GraphQL Server6:05
Create a unit test project, install the GraphQL client packages, configure the endpoint at port 5001, and send a query to access the GraphQL server from the client.
Running GraphQL Test with XUnit and FluentAssertion for validation4:57
Run a GraphQL test with xUnit and fluent assertions, send a query via a GraphQL client, parse and map the response, and validate results.
Running the test against GraphQL Server3:35
Learn to run tests against a GraphQL server using Visual Studio 2022, test explorer, and a GraphQL client. Discover port configuration, https handshakes, and integration testing concepts.
WebApplicationFactory for Integration testing GraphQL Server6:48
Use web application factory to create an in-memory test server for integration testing a GraphQL ASP.NET Core app, wiring a startup class, test fixture, and an HttpClient.
Running test against TestServer to invoke GraphQL Server3:52
Leverage a web application factory and test fixture to run GraphQL server tests with a DPI client, avoiding a separate server, using the replication factory and CTP client for validation.

Requirements

Basic of ASP .NET
Basic of Entity Framework
Basic of WebAPIs

Description

This course Develop and Test GraphQL Server with GraphQL .NET & ASP .NET is focused on making anyone who has zero knowledge in GraphQL and make them understand the nitty-gritty details on developing GraphQL Server with GraphQL .NET and testing the GraphQL server using GraphQLClient .NET and WebApplicationFactory for integration testing.

As a part of this course, we will also do testing of application with XUnit as testing library along with GraphQL Client.

This course is split into the following sections for simplicity

Basics of GraphQL
- Understanding Queries
- Understanding Parameters
- Understanding Arguments
- Understanding Operation Name
- Understanding Alias
- Understanding Schema
- Understanding Mutations
- Understanding Fragments
Setting up ASP .NET WebAPI project with Entity Framework as ORM
- Creating basic WebAPI project
- Adding Entity Framework
- Adding Data layer and controllers
- Creating Repository pattern
- Accessing data from Repository pattern for controllers
Developing GraphQL Server which supports
- Creating Query
- Creating Schema
- Creating QueryTypes
- Creating InputQueryTypes (for mutation)
- Support for nested Query
- Support of parameters/query arguments
- Support for nested sub-queries
- Support for Mutations
Testing GraphQL using GraphQL Client
- Testing using XUnit
- Unit Testing without HttpClient
- Integration testing with TestServer and WebApplicationFactory

At the end of the course, you will understand how to work with GraphQL using GraphQL .NET and also you will understand how we perform Unit testing and Integration testing with the help of WebApplicationFactory and reduce the footprint of running the whole server and instead just run the test server to test the whole application in just couple of lines of code.
