Launching a Public GraphQL API and Client for Open Source Lightning Web Components
summary
Salesforce launches a public GraphQL API and an LWC client: a single endpoint that collapses multiple REST calls into one, adds mutations in Winter ’24 beta, and exposes tasks and events. Every user receives a dynamic meta schema enforcing field- and object-level security. A graphql wire adapter for Lightning Web Components handles caching and auth, powers mobile offline in Salesforce App Plus and Field Service, and supports data priming at scale (thousands of users priming hundreds of thousands of records); idempotency keys prevent duplicate writes.
