## Quick start ### Install ```sh pnpm add graphql-yoga graphql ``` ### Start Make a schema, create Yoga and start a Node server: ```ts import { createServer } from 'node:http' import { createSchema, createYoga } from 'graphql-yoga' const yoga = createYoga({ schema: createSchema({ typeDefs: /* GraphQL */ ` type Query { hello: String } `, resolvers: { Query: { hello: () => 'Hello from Yoga!' } } }) }) const server = createServer(yoga) server.listen(4000, () => { console.info('Server is running on http://localhost:4000/graphql') }) ``` ## Overview - **Easiest way to run a GraphQL server:** Sensible defaults & includes everything you need with minimal setup (we also export a platform/env-agnostic handler so you can build your own wrappers easily). - **Includes Subscriptions:** Built-in support for GraphQL subscriptions using [**S**erver-**S**ent **E**vents](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events/Using_server-sent_events). - **Compatible:** Works with all GraphQL clients ([Apollo](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/), [Relay](https://relay.dev/), [Urql](https://formidable.com/open-source/urql/)...) and fits seamless in your GraphQL workflow. - **WHATWG Fetch API:** the core package depends on [WHATWG Fetch API](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/) so it can run and deploy on any environment (Serverless, Workers, Deno, Node). - **Easily Extendable:** New GraphQL-Yoga support all [`envelop`](https://www.envelop.dev) plugins. ## [Features](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs) - Fully typed with [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org) - [GraphQL over HTTP spec compliant](https://github.com/enisdenjo/graphql-http/tree/master/implementations/graphql-yoga) - [GraphiQL included](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/features/graphiql) - [File uploads with GraphQL Multipart Request spec](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/features/file-uploads) - [Subscriptions and realtime capabilities](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/features/subscriptions) - [Automatic persisted queries](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/features/automatic-persisted-queries) - [Built-in parsing and validation caching](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/features/parsing-and-validation-caching) - [Testing utilities](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/features/testing) - Supports [ESM](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Modules) - Runs **everywhere**, including environments like: - [Deno](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/integrations/integration-with-deno) - [Bun](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/integrations/integration-with-bun) - [Cloudflare Workers](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/integrations/integration-with-cloudflare-workers) - [AWS Lambda](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/integrations/integration-with-aws-lambda) - [_And other..._](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/integrations/z-other-environments) - [_And more..._](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs) ## [Documentation](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs) Our [documentation website](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs) will help you get started. ## [Examples](https://github.com/graphql-hive/graphql-yoga/tree/main/examples) We've made sure developers can quickly start with GraphQL Yoga by providing a comprehensive set of examples. [See all of them in the `examples/` folder.](https://github.com/graphql-hive/graphql-yoga/tree/main/examples) ## [Comparison](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/comparison) Read more about how GraphQL Yoga compares to other servers in the ecosystem [here](https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/comparison). ## Contributing If this is your first time contributing to this project, please do read our [Contributor Workflow Guide](https://github.com/the-guild-org/Stack/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) before you get started off.
