Description

Currently, testing of our application demo frontends is a rather manual experience. We would like to port them to TypeScript, with type-checking of the GraphQL schemas, to increase development velocity on them and ease some of the burden of manually updating them when our backends change.

Research direction
Identify which frontend demo apps exist in the repository (likely in a 'demos' or 'examples' directory). Look for existing JavaScript files and determine how to convert them to TypeScript while adding type checking for GraphQL schemas. Check the project's tsconfig and any existing TypeScript setup. Review any comments on the issue for specific demo names or maintainer guidance.
