Slash GraphQL Release July 28 2020

[gja (Tejas Dinkar)]

Hi All,

We have just finished the July 28th Release for Slash GraphQL. This release has a bunch of features that you all have asked for, and a few bug fixes too.

Release Name: The great gRPC

Changelog:

• Slash GraphQL now supports GraphQL± queries and mutations, with some caveats. Please see the documentation on how to use this https://graphql.dgraph.io/slash-graphql/advanced-queries.
• the /graphql endpoint now supports http/2
• Dgraph updated to Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/release/v20.07' into release/v20… · dgraph-io/dgraph@6c7335b · GitHub
• Slash GraphQL now supports exporting data to a JSON, which you can download over http. Please see: https://graphql.dgraph.io/slash-graphql/administering-your-backend
• We now show you a profile pic so you know who you are logged in as

Also a few bugs were squashed

• You should no longer see the ‘schema not defined’ error if you run a query after a long time

There was a window during the deploy during which introspection queries stopped working. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. We have added introspections to our regression suite.

thanks @gja! Does this also allow me to use live loader? I think it just needs the mutate endpoint access right?

[gja (Tejas Dinkar)]

We are working on getting live loader to work. Mostly, it’s a matter of passing the correct auth tokens to the alpha and zero GRPC connections in the live loader.

This should work soon…ish. We actually have a PR for dgraph for this feat: Live Loader Now Supports Slash GraphQL by gja · Pull Request #6117 · dgraph-io/dgraph · GitHub, it should get merged soon.
