How Tos
We recognize that having learned GraphQL API does not mean you are able to write integrations without further help. Although tools such as GraphiQL, Postman, and Insomnia allow you to browse the schema and discover the Business NXT model and operations with it, writing code to handle your data requires further knowledge.
In this section, we provide a set of recommended practices as well as a series of guides to help you perform some common business operations.
