An example of GraphQL, React, communicating via Apollo Client, and using GraphQL Code Generator for type safe react apollo data fetching. We have divided the components into two folders, Cards and Modules. Cards are simple UI representations of a specific model (i.e. Character, or Episode). A Module is a horizontal scrolling list, consisting of multiple cards. Each module is responsible for their own data fetching, error handling, and loading state.
