}

GraphQL API

Schema Design

type User {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  email: String!
  posts: [Post!]!
}

type Post {
  id: ID!
  title: String!
  content: String!
  author: User!
}

Best Practices

1. Use fragments for reusable fields
2. Implement proper pagination
3. Handle errors gracefully
4. Optimize query complexity

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  // Handle message
