In this post, we will explore Apollo Client integrated with a React application and how it provides an abstraction layer between a JavaScript application and a GraphQL server. The features Apollo Client offers make it a prime choice for devs also using GraphQL.

We’ll begin by discussing what Apollo Client is and how it can be advantageous over other state management libraries. And finally, we will look at some example React queries for retrieving and mutating data.

Let’s get started.

In this blog, we will explore React Hook Form, an extremely lightweight and effective form building library using React. This open-source, third-party library has no dependencies and can be integrated with most existing forms or libraries. It provides the ability to subscribe to individual components, limiting the frequency of re-renders and making it more efficient.

Below, we will learn some of the basic usages of React Hook Form, some more in-depth features, and then look at an example form integrated with an existing UI library.
