• Practiced creating a small GraphQL server using Node Express and Apollo. Lots boilerplate code but in summary:
  • Make use of ApolloServer and makeExecutableSchema from apollo-server-express . This lets you use express as the middleware for the Apollo server.
  • Next we can define our resolvers which can perform any arbitary action. the resolver must be supplied back to the to the makeExecutableSchema
  • launching the Apollo node app is a graphql explorer app. very useful for exploring your data.
