Requires setting up a local server and understanding GraphQL queries, a webhook configuration may be needed for frontend integration.

in plain english

This is a backend service for running conference websites. Specifically, it powers conferences organized by React Finland and their TOSKA event series. It serves up the data that a conference website needs, things like speaker information, event schedules, and session details, so that a separate frontend site can display that content to visitors. The project uses GraphQL, which is a way to let frontend developers ask for exactly the data they need and nothing more. When someone runs the server locally, they can visit a web address to explore what queries are available and test them out. It also generates an iCalendar file, which means visitors can subscribe to the conference schedule through their normal calendar app and see sessions show up alongside their other events. Conference organizers and web developers working on event sites would use this. For example, if you are building a website for a tech conference and need a reliable way to manage and serve your speaker list and schedule, this handles that backend work. Images, such as speaker headshots, are also served through the API and can be accessed directly via a media URL. One practical detail is how it connects to the frontend website. When the data in this API changes, say, a new speaker is added, it can automatically trigger the conference website to rebuild itself. This is set up through a webhook, meaning the two systems talk to each other so that updates on the backend show up on the live site without anyone having to manually republish it. The README doesn't go into detail on the full range of available data queries, but it covers the essentials for getting the server running locally.

prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1
I want to set up the graphql-api conference backend locally. Walk me through cloning the repo, installing dependencies, starting the server, and opening the GraphQL explorer to test a query for speaker information.
prompt 2
Help me configure a webhook from this GraphQL conference API so that my frontend website rebuilds automatically whenever a new speaker or session is added.
prompt 3
I need to query the conference schedule from this GraphQL API and generate an iCalendar link that visitors can subscribe to in their calendar app. Show me how to construct the query and access the iCal feed.
prompt 4
Explain how speaker images and media URLs work in this conference API and how I can retrieve a speaker headshot via a direct URL for use on my frontend site.
