Example of a Python Flask backend and GraphQL API with React frontend.
Built as an example for the tutorial How to create a React + Flask + GraphQL Project on Benevolent Bytes by Seth Corker.
Flask is a lightweight Python server which can easily supply a GraphQL API.
Ariadne allows the creation of a GraphQL of API from a schema. It's easy to use and connects well with Flask.
Demonstrates queries and mutations for our API with a simple React frontend.
Clone the repo then:
Navigate to the server folder cd server, install dependencies (use a virtual environment if you wish) run python server.py to start the backend. You should be able to access the GraphQL playground at localhost:5000
Navigate to the client folder cd client, install dependencies with yarn and run run the frontend server, yarn start. You should be able to access the frontend at localhost:3000. You can now start communicating with the backed via the React UI.
