Bootstrap-gql-server NPM

bootstrap-gql-server

The idea behind this library is to provide a simple way to bootstrap a new graphQL server instance.

Inspired by by projects like create-react-app and create-react-native-app this project aims to provide a similar service.

Unlike the before mentioned projects bootstrap-gql-server doesn't hide the implementation and comes without an eject command

After initializing a new instance of a graphQL server all dependencies are visible in the package.json file.

yarn add global bootstrap-gql-server yarn

bootstrap-gql-server init [project-name]

Follow instructions

cd [project-name] && yarn start

go to localhost:[port]/[gaphiql path] and start investigating the generated schema

The resulting schema is the same as the one used in the example here https://github.com/apollographql/frontpage-server

GraphQL API Port: default (8080)
GraphQL API path: default (graphql)
Graphiql interface path: default (graphiql)
Add dataloader to the list of dependencies: default (true)
Support GraphQL subscriptions: default (true)
GraphQL subscription server port: default (8090) only if subscriptions support = true
Subscription server path: default (/) only if subscriptions support = true
Subscriptions engine: default (pubsub) only if subscriptions support = true
