Askql
AskQL is a query language that can express any data request
Overview
AskQL is a query language that builds upon GraphQL and Serverless technologies. It allows developers to attach scripts to queries for server-side execution, providing improved performance and caching capabilities. AskQL simplifies the process for frontend developers by enabling them to include middleware/endpoint code directly with their queries, eliminating the need for backend development cycles. With features like isolated Virtual Machine execution and resource control, AskQL ensures safety and integration efficiency. It is positioned as a versatile tool for streamlining the development process and enhancing business operations.
Features
- Server-Side Script Execution: Attach scripts to queries for server-side execution.
- Compatible with GraphQL: Accepts GraphQL query format for seamless integration.
- Performance Optimization: Results can be cached, enhancing Web Vitals and app performance.
- Safe Execution Environment: Uses isolated Virtual Machine for secure script execution.
- Resource Control: Allows customization of integrations, collections, and data sources accessible to scripts.
- Built-in Resources Integration: Connects with MACH data sources like eCommerce platforms and databases.
- Asynchronous Operation: Default asynchronous behavior for cleaner code with no 'await' keyword.
- Lean Development Process: Simplifies app development by eliminating the need for backend infrastructure.
- Express
Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- SCSS
SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Graphql
A website that uses GraphQL as a query language to manage data fetching and state management. This includes features such as a strongly typed schema, client-side caching, and declarative data fetching to streamline data management and optimize website performance.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
