Awesome-graphql

What is this?

A curated (awesome) list of GraphQL resources: specifications, implementations, clients, servers, tools, databases, services, books, videos, podcasts, style guides, and tutorials.

Is this a library or just a list of links?

It's a plain curated list (a markdown document), not a code library or runtime, organized into sections like Specifications, Implementations, Tools, Books, and Podcasts.

Is the list kept up to date or could entries be stale?

Some referenced tools or examples may age (e.g. older React/Relay boilerplates), but the project runs automated link/style checks to catch rot.

Who is this useful for?

Developers working with GraphQL APIs who want to discover specs, client/server libraries, tooling, learning material, and community resources in one place.

How is the list organized?

It's split into major sections like Specifications, Foundations, Communities, Meetups, Implementations (further broken down by language, e.g. JavaScript/TypeScript clients, servers, databases, type tools), Books, Videos, Podcasts, Style Guides, Blogs, and Tutorials.

Where should a beginner start?

Start with the Specifications section to understand the core GraphQL spec and GraphQL over HTTP, then look at the Implementations section for a client/server stack like apollo-client and apollo-server.

Are entries vetted for quality?

The repo uses automated checks (awesome-lint and a bot workflow) to enforce formatting and valid links, though vetting is otherwise community/maintainer judgment via pull requests.

Does it cover languages besides JavaScript/TypeScript?

The visible sections focus heavily on JavaScript/TypeScript implementations (clients, servers, frameworks), alongside language-agnostic specs, tools, databases, books, and podcasts.

What are similar projects?

awesome-nestjs, awesome-remote-job, awesome-sre, awesome-vue, free-programming-books-zh_CN, awesome-vite, awesome-redux, Project-Ideas-And-Resources

Which topics is it in?

apollo, podcast, books, graphql, websocket, awesome, vue, sdk, rest-api, awesome-list, list, curated-list
