ArangoDB is cool

[pluma]

Hi folks, Alan from ArangoDB here. If there's anything we can do to help you with the connector feel free to ping me.

I could use this connector. Any progress or any tips if I want to take a shot at it myself?

[pluma]

@joelgetaction I don't think I've heard from anyone working on one and we don't have one listed at https://www.arangodb.com/arangodb-drivers/ at the moment, so give it a shot if you want.

If you need assistance on the ArangoDB side of things you can hang around in our community slack: https://www.arangodb.com/community/ -- there's a #driverdev channel for community-maintained drivers and connectors like this and you can find me there as @pluma.arangodb.

[marcus-sa]

Yeah, I could really use this connector as well.
Prisma + ArangoDB would be one hell of a combination.

[leeDav]

This would be really cool!

Any docs on how to write connectors/drivers?

[dzcpy]

Has anyone started working on it?

[armenr]

I found this, today, during a search for prisma + arangodb --> https://github.com/AEB-labs/cruddl

At my most recent project, we like the way it plugs in to Apollo and/or Yoga, so that we can continue to benefit from all the nice things we get between yoga & apollo-client (like subscriptions 😄 ) .

[homerjam]

@armenr would you be able to share how you implemented subscriptions with cruddl please?

Unfortunately Cruddl doesn't support subscriptions just yet, however it is in active development.

[qin-guan]

any developments in this?

[armenr]

@itsezc - Any progress on the subscriptions front? What would be the easiest way to find out?

The last we heard for Cruddl about Subscriptions is AEB-labs/cruddl#16

However afaik they will likely be added, I'm getting really impatient with waiting on Prisma so I've gone full on Cruddl and I'm really interested in making a PR for subscription support, if there doesn't seem to be any progress on it.

[mysticaltech]

AEB-labs/cruddl is not really ideal because it forces you to write and control ArangoDB from GraphQL SDL, not the other way around. So it's not really a solution here! We need a proper Prisma connector.
