This course was written to be as practical as possible. It offers an interactive learning experience, starting off with a general introduction to GraphQL and proceeding to allow you to play with GraphQL Queries and Mutations using GitHub’s GraphQL API.

After getting you comfortable with the basics of GraphQL, the course moves on to how to use GraphQL with React and then on how to integrate it with Apollo Client. You'll implement an issue tracker application using GraphQL combined with both React and Apollo Client.

Finally, with this course Educative introduces its newest feature: A live VM. You will now have access to a terminal with a native look and feel where you can modify code and see changes in real time - all inside your browser!

A Practical Guide to GraphQL: From the Client Perspective

All we’ve done thus far has been the **framework agnostic** part of Apollo Client. However, without connecting React to it, we’d have a hard time making effective use of GraphQL. That’s why there is an official library to connect both worlds: [**react-apollo**](https://github.com/apollographql/react-apollo). 

The great thing about those connecting libraries is that there are solutions for other view-layer solutions like _Angular_ and _Vue_, too, so you can use the Apollo Client in a framework agnostic way. 

After we have installed the library, we import **ApolloProvider** component from the library and use it as a composing component around our `App` component in the `src/index.js` file. Under the hood, it uses [React’s Context API](https://www.robinwieruch.de/react-context-api/) to pass the Apollo Client through your application.
