Description
This issue is tracking progress on implementing native GraphQL layer making it easy to build GraphQL APIs in LoopBack.
- Package name: [`@loopback/graphql`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@loopback/graphql)
- Example app: [`@loopback/example-graphql`](https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/tree/master/examples/graphql)
- Docs: [Creating GraphQL APIs](https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/GraphQL.html)
## Progress
Stability: ⚠️Experimental⚠️
- [x] #5545 added the initial implementation of native GraphQL layer, built using [type-graphql](https://github.com/MichalLytek/type-graphql).
- [x] #6313 added support for GraphQL subscriptions
- [x] #6313 improved graphql configuration and subscriptions
## What's next
We don't have any specific plans now, we are looking for your feedback! Please give the new extension a try and let us know what works for you well and what is missing.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the @loopback/graphql package, the @loopback/example-graphql app, and the Creating GraphQL APIs documentation; review the initial implementation and subscription work linked in #5545 and #6313. The issue has no specific next task or acceptance criteria, so feedback on what is missing would need to define what done means.
