In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to integrate GraphQL with ASP.NET Core Web API application, how to write types, queries, and mutations. Furthermore, we are going to learn how to consume the GraphQL API with the ASP.NET Core app and Angular client application as well.
We are going to show you how to create different queries, how to use aliases and arguments, as well as fragments and directives while creating a GraphQL query.
After finishing with this tutorial, you are going to have the knowledge to integrate GraphQL into the ASP.NET Core app and you’ll have no problem using Queries and Schemas to retrieve and mutate data from a server.
