Graphql-yoga: Facebook Dataloader

[ronal2do]

Any expectations to adapt?

Hi @ronal2do thanks a lot for bringing this up. Could you describe your scenario for dataloader?

[DevanB]

I, too, am interested in this. I'm most interested in reducing the amount of requests in a single query. Because my GraphQL server currently is wrapping REST APIs, I am making the same request in multiple resolvers, but resolving different parts of the returned object.

I think this is a use case for dataloader.

@DevanB do you have any suggestion on how the API should look like you'd want to use?

@schickling

At this time, no. Apparently you can move dataloaders to different layers of the server and get different results? After hearing that, I've decided to research it a little. Once I complete that research, and possibly implement my own version, I'm sure I'll have an opinion on how the API should look. 👍

Just to cache the data, even for servers that I believe to be very useful, I use in some projects that is very good

I believe this should NOT be part of Yoga,
unless it is implemented as a schema @directive
