Managing State in GraphQL Using Apollo Link State

GraphQL isn't just a way to communicate with remote APIs—it is a data query and manipulation language for data in general. Apollo Link State gives you the ability to manage your local state by performing queries and mutations.

In this article, we'll show how to fully integrate Apollo into your React app from setting up the client to executing a query and displaying its results.
