Why Jay
We are in the process of transitioning to the convention of naming our projects by bird names. Starting with Canada Goose for mobile, we are naming the graphQL backend by jay for two reasons (according to @dtao).
- Blue Jay is a bird
- Jay Gatsby has Gatsby in it
Development
run npm start, explorer is at localhost:5000/graphql
Deployment
gcloud app deploy
Example query

Note: it should be possible to abstract out a lot of the code below using fragments or ...

hasNextPage
edges {
article {
headline
}
cursor
}
}
top: articles(first: 5, section: "top") {
hasNextPage
edges {
article {
headline
}
cursor
}
}
most_recent: articles(first: 5, section: "news") {
hasNextPage
edges {
article {
headline
}
cursor
}
}
}
