As Parse evolves over time, some aspects of it change for better performance, better compatibility and easier development.
One of these aspects is the GraphQL support that evolved from Parse 3.5.0 over time to the latest version available, 3.9.
Here at Back4app, we have three main versions that implement changes in the GraphQL queries and mutations, specifically: 3.7.2, 3.8 and 3.9 and today I will walk you through the differences among those versions, showing what did change and what did not.
Today in part 4 of our Instagram clone App with GraphQL we will continue learning some SwiftUI, building our Home view.
In our previous articles, we learned how to sign up a user and how to log in a user and created the Profile view with the respective UIs in our Instagram clone App. Today we will reuse some of that code and create something similar to a UIScrollView with lots of content.
Fast your seat belts and let’s get it going!
For better learning, download the iOS Instagram Clone project with source code.
In our previous post about how to create an Instagram clone app, you learned how to configure everything to have SwiftUI up and running in XCode 11, and created a fully working Sing Up view with GraphQL.
Today we will learn how to create a login view and have the user log out.
We will be needing the project from the previous post, so if you didn’t follow that one, I strongly suggest that you do.
Buckle your seat belts and let’s go!

It’s no mystery that every developer wants to make high-quality applications, and if you’re one of them, we are here to assist you in finding a straightforward way to implement and host a GraphQL database. In the past, I’ve been an assiduous REST user, but my concerns about its complexity, over fetching requests and data transfer costs have led me to explore other alternatives.
In addition to some first-tier GraphQL hosting providers such as Back4App, there’s a frequently expanding list of cloud service providers that allow affordable GraphQL hosting.
In this tutorial, I’ll also describe some of the best cloud options to host GraphQL APIs; some providers that are less established but still useful to developers. The tutorial will cover the following hosting options:
Creating the next big mobile app is an expensive and time-consuming process. Taking your idea to life demands time, energy, and financial resources. I will explore how new technologies like GraphQL will reduce your time to market and speed up your app development process.
This article will explain the benefits of using GraphQL together with Backend as a Service platform, and here is a summary of what you will learn:
Today we are starting a series of blog posts that will teach you how to use a lot of cool tools to build your own Social Network: an application that resembles Instagram.
We won’t save up on tech and will be using the latest and greatest: Parse, GraphQL, some NodeJS and especially the (yet to be released) latest Apple’s framework SwiftUI.
This will take a few posts in order to be fully functional, but when we get there, you will realize how simple it can be to get your ideas up and running with very little effort here at Back4app.

So, it seems it is time for…
On this article, I showed you how to use GraphQL with NodeJS Cloud Code in Back4app.
And on this guide, I showed you how to use Apollo GraphQL iOS Client with Swift.
Now let’s bring it all together and make lots of complicated operations by producing really easy code. And let’s also have XCode to automatically generate any API code for us even when we change Classes.
Sounds good? So get some coffee and get along!
GraphQL brings sugar, spice, and everything nice to API developers, but it is basically a query language so you can specify what you are looking for.
What if you need more business intelligence than that in your application?
What if you need some logic along with it?
What if you want that neat NPM Module module along with it?
Well, fasten your seat belts because today I’ll show you something very powerful. And with great powers, comes great… well… great time savings, great possibilities, great lots of good stuff…
Hasura proceeds to innovate and dominate the real-time GraphQL market. While it extends a frequently refined collection of products for many varieties of development requirements, it may be not always the easiest, most agile, or cheapest option. There’s a frequently increasing inventory of cloud companies that extend products and services in ways that can avail developers with easiness and affordability.
In this blog post, I’ll show some of the alternatives to Hasura; some companies that are still young but still useful to developers. Others are more stable businesses and running for a while. The tutorial will include subsequent competitors:
Many applications, especially websites, need to restrict access to their content, and having user accounts that show only information relevant to that user in a secure way is the most popular way to accomplish that.
Today we will learn how to implement the Login functionality to an already existing HTML page, writing very little code and having Parse doing all the heavy lifting for you, and in order to do that, I chose the Login Form template which you can download for free.
We will be using two distinct technologies that you can choose from: the Javascript SDK and GraphQL through Javascript.
GraphQL is our brand new shiny technology that was just released and my goal is to compare both ways to do the same thing, so you can pick the one you like best.
SPOILER ALERT!! I am sure you will like GraphQL better…
That already has all the necessary files for visually display the file but lacks functionality, which we will be adding.
