Client-side GraphQL

graphql_ppx

Let's first analyze how to write the queries. I experimented the graphql_ppx with a few different features (nullable and non-nullable variables, fragments, convert response into record automatically). The type safety is very neat, both the input variables and the response have specific types (no Js.Json.t!), and the queries/mutations are validated against the schema! This makes it really easy to write queries, although I worry about integrating new versions of the schema since the repos are separated (we should probably re-fetch the schema as part of the CI).

As for the drawbacks, there are not many:

• The ppx really messes up my language server sometimes.
• I haven't tried a lot but I couldn't find easily a way to use refmt to format the queries.
• I couldn't find anything about custom directives, the lack of which would prevents us from using some features from the GraphQL clients (for example, managing local state using Apollo's @client directive).
• I haven't
