Hi! How well does Aurelia work with GraphQL? I found an [apollo bind](https://github.com/stphdenis/aurelia-apollo-bind) for aurelia, but it doesn’t seem to have any development activity for the last two years.

@jvik It absolutely does. The beautiful thing about Apollo Client is that it doesn’t require any kind of bridge or framework-specific library to work with Aurelia. I have a sample application [here on Github](https://github.com/Vheissu/aurelia-graphql-apollo) which is a work in progress, but it shows the basics of using Apollo Client in Aurelia.

In my example, I am using Apollo Boost which is a combination of different Apollo libraries to make setting it up easier. I believe they’re working on streamlining this and bringing it into the core, but for now [as you can see](https://github.com/Vheissu/aurelia-graphql-apollo/blob/master/src/apollo.ts#L8-L10), it takes for basic setup a couple of lines of code.

If you had any questions, I would be happy to answer them.
