GraphQL is a powerful solution for working with data, but it often gets a bad rap for being too complicated to set up and use. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to send GraphQL queries and mutations without any third-party tools using the browser's built-in Fetch API. The Fetch API can be used to send HTTP requests, which is what GraphQL works under. To send a GraphQL query with Fetch, you need to write JavaScript code that sends a POST request with a JSON object containing the query and variables as the body of the request. The request needs to be sent using the POST method, the query and variables need to be sent as a JSON object, and the right headers should be included. While GraphQL clients like Apollo and URQL can add extra power, you may not need one if you're only making a few queries in your app.
