      <h1>The Idea Behind This Example</h1>
      <p>
        <a href='https://www.apollographql.com/client/'>Apollo</a> is a GraphQL client that
        allows you to easily query the exact data you need from a GraphQL
        server. In addition to fetching and mutating data, Apollo analyzes your
        queries and their results to construct a client-side cache of your data,
        which is kept up to date as further queries and mutations are run,
        fetching more results from the server.
      </p>
      <p>
        In this simple example, we integrate Apollo seamlessly with{' '}
        <a href='https://github.com/zeit/next.js'>Next</a> by wrapping our pages
        inside a{' '}
        <a href='https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/higher-order-components.html'>
          higher-order component (HOC)
        </a>. Using the HOC pattern we're able to pass down a central store of
        query result data created by Apollo into our React component hierarchy
        defined inside each page of our Next application.
      </p>
      <p>
        On initial page load, while on the server and inside getInitialProps, we
        invoke the Apollo method,{' '}
        <a href='https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/features/server-side-rendering.html#getDataFromTree'>
          getDataFromTree
        </a>. This method returns a promise; at the point in which the promise
        resolves, our Apollo Client store is completely initialized.
      </p>
      <p>
        This example relies on <a href='http://graph.cool'>graph.cool</a> for
        its GraphQL backend.
