Welcome to the Apollo Server Template with Express and Node.js repository! This template is designed to help you build a GraphQL server using Apollo Server, Express, and Node.js. It provides you with a solid foundation for developing GraphQL-based applications quickly and efficiently.
The Apollo Server Template with Express and Node.js is a boilerplate project that sets up a GraphQL server using Apollo Server with Express and Node.js. It provides a basic configuration and structure to get you started with your GraphQL API development. You can use this template to build various types of applications, from simple prototypes to large-scale production-ready projects.
- Integration of Apollo Server with Express and Node.js for GraphQL API development ๐
- A simple yet robust folder structure for organizing your GraphQL schema, resolvers, and other components ๐
This project includes:
- `server.js`: The main entry point of the application that sets up the Apollo Server and Express.
- `type-definitions`: The GraphQL schema definition file where you can define your data types and queries.
- `resolvers`: The foler where you implement the resolvers for your GraphQL queries and mutations.
- `database`: An example data folder that you can use to test your API before connecting to a database.
- `package.json`: The package configuration file that lists the dependencies and scripts for the project.
- `README.md`: This file, providing information about the template and how to use it.
- Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:
```bash git clone https://github.com/mohamadhammoud/apollo-server-graphql.git cd apollo-server-graphql ```
- Install the dependencies:
```bash npm install ```
- Start the development server:
```bash npm run dev ```
- Open your browser and go to `http://http://localhost:3000/graphql\` to access the GraphQL Playground. Here, you can interact with your API and test your queries and mutations.
