Readme
This is the Express and Connect integration of GraphQL Server. Apollo Server is a community-maintained open-source GraphQL server that works with many Node.js HTTP server frameworks. Read the docs. Read the CHANGELOG.
npm install apollo-server-express
Express
const express = require('express');
const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server-express');
// Construct a schema, using GraphQL schema language
const typeDefs = gql`
type Query {
hello: String
}
`;
// Provide resolver functions for your schema fields
const resolvers = {
Query: {
hello: () => 'Hello world!',
},
};
const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers });
const app = express();
server.applyMiddleware({ app });
app.listen({ port: 4000 }, () =>
console.log(`🚀 Server ready at http://localhost:4000${server.graphqlPath}`)
);
Connect
We recommend using
express
rather thanconnect
. However, if you wish to useconnect
, please installconnect
andqs-middleware
, in addition toapollo-server-express
.
npm install --save connect qs-middleware apollo-server-express
const connect = require('connect');
const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server-express');
const query = require('qs-middleware');
// Construct a schema, using GraphQL schema language
const typeDefs = gql`
type Query {
hello: String
}
`;
// Provide resolver functions for your schema fields
const resolvers = {
Query: {
hello: () => 'Hello world!',
},
};
const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers });
const app = connect();
const path = '/graphql';
app.use(query());
server.applyMiddleware({ app, path });
app.listen({ port: 4000 }, () =>
console.log(`🚀 Server ready at http://localhost:4000${server.graphqlPath}`)
);
Note:
qs-middleware
is only required if running outside of Meteor
Principles
GraphQL Server is built with the following principles in mind:
- By the community, for the community: GraphQL Server's development is driven by the needs of developers
- Simplicity: by keeping things simple, GraphQL Server is easier to use, easier to contribute to, and more secure
- Performance: GraphQL Server is well-tested and production-ready - no modifications needed
Anyone is welcome to contribute to GraphQL Server, just read CONTRIBUTING.md, take a look at the roadmap and make your first PR!
