Notes

GraphiQL V2

We discussed a plan on how to get to GraphiQL v2, @acao already had some work done here:

https://github.com/acao/graphiql/tree/feat/use-context-hooks

And there's also some information about the structure and plan in the following links:

https://github.com/graphql/graphiql/tree/main/packages/graphiql-2-rfc-context#features https://github.com/graphql/graphiql/issues/983 https://github.com/graphql/graphiql#proposed-ecosystem

We talked about splitting the initial work into tasks:

Tasks for getting to v2

Start with following without breaking v1 (based on existing implementing of graphiql package):

• Review https://github.com/graphql/graphiql/compare/main...acao:feat/use-context-hooks?expand=1
• Upgrade React to latest
• Use hooks API (potentially done in https://github.com/acao/graphiql/tree/feat/use-context-hooks)

We could split @acao's changes to multiple PR (first the migration to hooks)

Tasks do after the clean up above:

• Use monaco instead of codemirror

Things to discuss for later

• Replace babel with esbuild (?)
• Upstream https://github.com/the-guild-org/the-guild-components/tree/main/packages/monaco-graphql-editor (this could be super useful for the plugin system)
• We need to define what we want to use for theming and ui

Actions:

• @patrick91 Add zoom password to readme and find how to add it to calendar
• @dotansimha https://github.com/graphql/graphiql/pull/1975
• Sync with @acao regarding the state of GitHub project: https://github.com/graphql/graphiql/projects
