Create GraphQL Service

Create a GraphQL Federation without configurations.

Stack

• Fastify

• Apollo Server (Fastify integration/plugin)

Get started

1. Install globally

npm install -g create-graphql-service

2. Create your service

npx create-graphql-service my-graphql-service-name

// You'll be asked to fill the package.json prompt (as you do after running "npm init")
// Packages will be installed automatically and initial code scaffolding will be created

3. Then you can finally start your service by running

cd my-graphql-service-name

// npm start:dev will add "development" as global variable
npm run start:dev

Then open http://localhost:3000/graphql to see and test your new service on GraphQL Playground.
