Manage State in React Apps with Apollo Client and GraphQL
At the core of a good client-side GraphQL library is a cache. The cache is very important for improving the efficiency of your data retrieval and providing your users with a clean user experience.
In this course, we're going to see how Apollo's powerful cache helps easily solve complex UI problems, such as pagination, handling loading and error states, optimistic updates, and minimizing network requests.
We'll start from the basics, and look at how to make queries and mutations, but then we'll look at how the cache is behind most of Apollo's immediate benefits. We'll explore in-depth how it works, how it stores data, and how we can manually modify it manually for advanced scenarios.
Even if your backend doesn't fully support GraphQL yet, we'll look at how to write GraphQL queries in your components that retrieve local client state under the hood - or that can even make REST API calls.
What you'll learn:
- Explore how to handle errors elegantly and watch out for edge cases
- Understand how to store client-side state in the Apollo cache and why it's useful
- Design apps that are resilient to slow and even occasionally offline networks

Great course - working through realistic and very common use cases. Making it easy to follow through, even when adding polling and subscription to the app. Explains was clear and the building of the knowledge was excellent, by making look like we learn new thing and implement some feature but then presenting a problem and then show the solution. Great course!
