Currently Atwix is one of the top performers on the track with 2 developers working full time. They have produced numerous Pull Requests and contributions to the project.
Some of their work includes:
- CMS Page and CMS Block coverage: Developers can query GraphQL for CMS and Page content and get back all necessary data to render the page on storefront or in 3rd party applications.
Feature: Shopping cart mutations (Empty cart creating, Add simple product to Cart, Coupons) - Implemented mutation for empty cart creation by the guest/customer user: Both guest and registered shoppers can add simple products to cart. GraphQL provides a mutation through which the coupons can be added/removed on a shopper's cart in checkout.
Feature: Extending GraphQL store config
