Chapter 14: GraphQL API Development and Testing

You will learn about GraphQL-based API development and its testing in this chapter. You will implement GraphQL-based APIs for a sample application in this chapter. GraphQL server implementation will be developed based on a design-first approach, the way you defined the OpenAPI specification in Chapter 3, API Specifications and Implementation, and designed the schema in Chapter 11, gRPC-based API Development and Testing.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

Workflow and tooling
Implementing the GraphQL server
Documenting APIs
Test automation

After completing this chapter, you will have learned how to practically implement the GraphQL concepts learned in the previous chapter and the implementation of the GraphQL server using Java and Spring and its testing.
