What problem does it solve?
Android apps often require a robust, maintainable way to consume GraphQL APIs. This skill provides a structured approach to integrating Apollo GraphQL, with clear guidance on client setup, query/mutation/subscription workflows, caching, and pagination.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Setup and configuration of Apollo Kotlin client in Android projects.
- Writing and executing queries, mutations, and subscriptions with coroutine/Flow support.
- Implementing memory and/or SQL-based caching with pagination support for scalable data loading.
- Example use case: fetch user profiles with caching and real-time updates via subscriptions.
Quick Start
Install and configure the Apollo Kotlin plugin and dependencies, create an ApolloModule to provide a configured ApolloClient, and add sample GetUser.graphql usage to demonstrate querying and observing data through a repository and ViewModel.
