Countries GraphQL API Server

The code in this project is based on trevorblades/countries.

The API serves data about continents, countries, and states. For example the query:

{
  country(code: "BR") {
    name
    native
    capital
    emoji
    currency
    languages {
      code
      name
    }
  }
}

Returns:

{
  "data": {
    "country": {
      "name": "Brazil",
      "native": "Brasil",
      "capital": "Brasília",
      "emoji": "🇧🇷",
      "currency": "BRL",
      "languages": [
        {
          "code": "pt",
          "name": "Portuguese"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Using the server

Start the server and open a browser at port 4000. You'll get a dashboard to run queries.

You can also point a GraphQL client to port 4000, or use curl:

$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "query": "{ country(code: \"BR\") { name native capital emoji currency languages { code name }}}" }' http://localhost:4000

{"data":{"country":{"name":"Brazil","native":"Brasil","capital":"Brasília","emoji":"🇧🇷","currency":"BRL","languages":[{"code":"pt","name":"Portuguese"}]}}}
