Graphql-flutter: We are looking for people that can push this library to the next level.

Everyone can help

We only have a few requirements regarding styling and structuring the project, but in rest, every idea is welcome. We can set up a few things:

• A communication channel like slack or discord. Discord Invite Link
• Periodic skype call to discuss the future of the project.
• Open scrum platform
• Weekend lunch sessions for people from Amsterdam and you want to share your amazing ideas or you need help with a Dart/Flutter related project.
• You decide what we can do more!!

Storytime

This project has been going through a dry period of maintainers.

Both @HofmannZ and I don't have the time to do much work since we are not actively working with flutter anymore.
I initially started this project as an in-house prototype while working at Zino App and since it passed all the quality requirements, we used it in production. @HofmannZ decided to push it open-source to help speed up the flutter community and to gather more people that believe Flutter is the future. Sadly, we both stopped working with Flutter half a year ago and we had no time to keep this project happy.

Future projects

I have been working on a few projects that can improve the quality of this library even more:

• Dart types generator from GraphQL schema
• HTTP scheduler that can be coupled with the GraphQL engine of this library to allow smooth package communication on slower devices and lazy loading for Queries.
• Advanced caching modules for GraphQL-Flutter that are tailored to some uses cases(low-latency applications where milliseconds matter)
  If people are interested in those, then I can push more of my free time to get a working alpha version.

Interested in helping?

Update 1

Added discord link Discord Invite Link
Proposalt to integrate graphql-to-dart

I vote for a discord.

How far along is your type generator? I made graphql-to-dart for type / json serializable generation, and have done some work on integrating it with graphql-flutter. It's not integrated with the flutter ecosystem, but I feel like it gets the job done for now. Would be happy to rework the way the models / helpers work as well.

@micimize That is a really nice library.
I have written the types generator prototype in Dart Example
Created a discord server: Discord Invite Link

Hi guys I don't know if it can help but I've started working on a graphql_cli which aim to write locally a remote schema.

count me in as well ( [email protected] ) . Actually, I'm working on https://github.com/zino-app/graphql-flutter/issues/189 , and already finish GraphQL upload https://github.com/jaydenseric/graphql-multipart-request-spec , and lots of other enhanced stuff, such as unittest / codecoverage . I'm also uploader of https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/graphql_client , which can be good if we seperate this project into dart-only as a core repo, and flutter-related which imports graphql_client

any performance considerations with built value? (not just factory gen)

@aaahrens I'm not sure what you mean, but please pop into discord to discuss further
