Major overhaul of the Neo4j GraphQL Toolbox

Hi again!

We've just finished a large chunk of work and wanted to share this exciting news with you!

For one thing, we've removed the

beta

tag. The Neo4j GraphQL Toolbox is now a mature enough product which gives us the confidence to drop that label.

As part of the latest work, we've refactored the storage solution and have completely replaced it. If your saved favorites or settings disappeared we're very sorry. Yet this was a necessary step for us to build a robust foundation for the product and make it more future-proof.

Tip: If you need to retrieve your saved favorites (or other settings for that matter), check your web browser's application storage via the developer tools to retrieve them. Look out for the entry

neo4j.graphql.favorites

Local Storage

Here's a list of selected pieces we want to highlight that have been changed:

All the editors are now powered by CodeMirror version 6. All the features and functions we had previously are still available with CodeMirror v6. Check for instance the autocompletion help you get when typing up your type definitions or GraphQL query, it's certainly an improvement over the previous implementation!

On the query editor page you'll now be able to draft several queries or mutations as we've introduced tabs. Further, we fixed some issues regarding the resizing of the different editors (query, variables, and response).

The favorites feature on the type definitions page did get a proper remake. It's now possible to order your favorites and download them with just a click. You can still rename and delete them as before.

Lastly, the styling of the Neo4j GraphQL Toolbox got a big overhaul and now follows the common style of all other Neo4j frontend products.

We hope you really enjoy using the Neo4j GraphQL Toolbox and find it an intuitive tool to craft your GraphQL queries and mutations for your Neo4j database using the

@neo4j/graphql

library!
