Consuming GraphQL using C#

on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

Shows how to consume GraphQL from C# by building a .NET MAUI client for a HotChocolate backend and querying a books API; GraphQL requests are plain POSTs with a single JSON field "query", and Strawberry Shake pulls the schema via .net graphql init then generates client code (the demo grows the generated code to ~1,200 lines, saving thousands of handwritten lines). Demonstrates HotChocolate server, Strawberry Shake client, variable queries like getBookByTitle, and that requests work end-to-end.
