Figuring out Atlas

I spent most of my learning time today figuring out Atlas from the docs. There wasn’t much in there that I didn’t expect to see. They seem a little out of date, but not horrendously so.

I really wanted an overview of the architecture and maybe more of a “Quick Start” guide.

I also found it odd that there’s an assumption that you know and will use a JS framework, but that you maybe don’t have some of the very basics, like Git installed. I guess you have to put this in docs, but if feels like one might be able to make some assumptions about the audience?

Anyway, my post from yesterday was still not showing on the front-end. I didn’t want to perform an app rebuild – this seems like it shouldn’t be necessary. So what was wrong?

I dived into the GraphiQL interface to make a query, that brought back my post. So GraphQL seems fine.

And after that the post showed up on the front-end!

So it will be interesting to see what happens when I publish this.

Yep. Latest posts doesn’t refresh.

Does running the GraphQL query fix that?

Nope.

So what did I do?

The /posts page still hasn’t updated either. Just the latest posts on the homepage.

How do I fix this?!
