Experimenting with fullstack JavaScript using GraphQL, including graphql-js, graphql-playground, graphql-tag, graphql-yoga and react.
See the following useful links for reference
From the GraphQL website:
GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.
GraphQL IDE for better development workflows (GraphQL Subscriptions, interactive docs & collaboration)
Helpful utilities for parsing GraphQL queries. Includes:
gql A JavaScript template literal tag that parses GraphQL query strings into the standard GraphQL AST.
loader A webpack loader to preprocess queries
graphql-tag uses the reference graphql library under the hood as a peer dependency so in addition to installing this module, you'll also have to install graphql-js.
🧘 Fully-featured GraphQL Server with focus on easy setup, performance & great developer experience
01-graph-ql - The example Query taken from the JavaScript section of the GraphQL website as listed above, using graphql-js
02-graphql-playground - An example of using graphql-playground to test a query in the browser, including the autocompletion and syntax highlighting that it provides
03-graphql-express - A GraphQL server using express, and express-graphql
04-graphql-tag - An example of using graphql-tag using the gql tag
05-graph-ql-yoga - The example Query taken from the graphql-yoga github readme, to show how a basic server can be constructed using this add-on library
To run the experiments, ensure that node is installed then in the terminal/command line:
node 01-graph-ql.js // runs the first example
