Speed up your GraphQL learning with fake GraphQL APIs! I love JSON Placeholder, but it serves only REST requests. I had been looking for something similar in GraphQL. Without longer-term, reliable options, I had reverted to creating my own fake GraphQL server. While having my own server is certainly useful, it can become a pain to demonstrate or outline a feature to all - either through a video, blog post, or in public forums.

Let’s create a simple ‘to do’ application using Svelte and GraphQL. The objective is to demonstrate getting started on a GraphQL query and insert operation in a Svelte component. If you are new to Svelte, you may want to go over what Svelte can do from the official site, or see Svelte quick overview.
