When exploring some graphql I stumbled over it’s quite special syntax for defining a query gql`query`
. Now this seemed like a nice shorthand way of expressing an inline query, but I just couldn’t understand which construct made this possible. Typescript? Ecmascript 2016? Or maybe some other feature?
There was a recent blog post with the status of Aurelia vNext. For those of you that don’t know, Aurelia is a front-end framework with a focus on standards, extensibility, ease of use and performance. It’s been a while since a new major release, so vNext is a pretty big deal.
