GraphQL Server with Node.js

Technologies

• graphql-yoga - GraphQL server library built on top of Express, apollo-server, graphql-js and more
• Prisma - Replaces traditional ORMs. Use the Prisma client to implement your GraphQL resolvers and simplify database access
• GraphQL Playground - "GraphQL IDE" that allows interactive exploration on GraphQL API. Somewhat similar to Postman (for REST APIs)
• prisma-client-lib - Required to run Prisma client in JS
• jsonwebtoken
• bcryptjs

Steps

I have rewritten my own version in order to get a better grasp of how things work and with the aim to summarize and rephrase each step in a way that "I" can easily and quickly understand it.

• Getting Started
• Adding Queries
• Adding Mutations
• Adding a Database
• Connecting Server & Database via Prisma client
• Authentication
• Realtime GraphQL Subscriptions
• Filtering, Pagination & Sorting
