Test Assignment for Frontend Developers

Overview

This repository contains a test task for frontend developers, specifically focusing on working with Apollo Client for managing GraphQL queries, mutations, and subscriptions. The goal of the task is to implement a messaging system where messages are fetched from a server using pagination and users can send new messages and handle real-time updates via GraphQL subscriptions.

Task Breakdown

1. Replace the temp_data variable on the client-side with a query to fetch messages from the Apollo server. Messages should be fetched with pagination.
2. Implement message sending using Apollo Client's useMutation hook.
3. Handle receiving new messages and updating existing messages through GraphQL subscriptions.

Notes

Notes

• Make sure that pagination works correctly with Apollo Client.
• Every second mutation sendMessage returns data with a delay. Ensure that the response from the mutation does not overwrite the data in the cache that has been updated via the subscription. You can check the freshness of the data by the updatedAt field in the message.
• Server-side changes are not required. Your task is to solve all the problems on the client-side.
