Dokoon-NextJS-GraphQL 🚀

A Modern Transition from REST to GraphQL
🔥 Reimagining Dokoon-NextDRF with GraphQL Power

📖 Overview

This project evolves from Dokoon-NextDRF (Next.js + Django REST Framework) to demonstrate:
✨ GraphQL API implementation as a modern alternative to REST
✨ HTTP-Only Cookie Authentication for enhanced security
✨ Focused on backend API architecture over UI polish

Note: While the original project emphasized full-stack features, this version prioritizes GraphQL implementation patterns and secure auth flows.

🛠 Key Features

Feature	Description
📡 GraphQL API	Complete replacement of DRF endpoints with GraphQL queries/mutations
🔒 Auth Strategy	JWT authentication via HTTP-Only cookies (No localStorage!)
⚡ Performance	Optimized data fetching with GraphQL's query flexibility
🧩 Modular Design	Clean separation between Django models and GraphQL resolvers

🔍 Why GraphQL Over DRF?

• Eliminated Over-fetching: Clients request exact data needs
• Single Endpoint: /graphql replaces multiple REST endpoints
• Strong Typing: Schema-first development with Graphene-Django
• Frontend Flexibility: Next.js seamlessly consumes GraphQL API
