Status: 🚧 In Progress - Needs REST API Migration
Current State:
⚠️ Still configured for GraphQL (outdated)⚠️ Usesgraphql-requestand GraphQL operations⚠️ Code generation configured for GraphQL schema
Required Changes:
- Remove GraphQL dependencies (
graphql,graphql-request,@graphql-codegen/*) - Create entity types in
src/entities/(User, Product, Cart, Order, etc.) - Update API client to use REST endpoints with Axios
- Restructure to:
src/entities/*- TypeScript entity typessrc/services/queries/*- React Query hooks for GET operationssrc/services/mutations/*- React Query hooks for POST/PUT/DELETE
- Update providers (ApiProvider, QueryProvider, SdkProvider)
- Remove GraphQL-specific code
- Update README with REST API examples
- Update MIGRATION.md guide
