## README

[Firebase with GraphQL](https://medium.com/@lukepighetti/yes-you-can-query-firebase-with-graphql-e79a45990f22)

## Why GraphQL with Firebase?
Firebase is an awesome platform for developers. It’s a one-stop-shop for authentication, hosting, database, and serverless cloud functions. It is realtime first and it has a very generous free tier and awesome tooling. But it has one achilles heel: querying the database. GraphQL provides a very dynamic and expressive query layer and can vastly simplify fetching operations for Firebase clients.

## Why Apollo Server 2?
apollo-server-express is very lightweight, easy to wire up, and pairs well with Firebase Cloud Functions. That makes it cheap, cheap, and cheap.

## Install Firebase CLI

```
npm install -g firebase
npm install -g firebase-tools
```

## Create a Firebase project

[First ensure you have OAuth 2.0 authentication](https://developers.google.com/identity/?authuser=1)

[](https://console.firebase.google.com)

```
firebase login
```

Then create a project folder and initialize the project with Functions. This project uses JavaScript.

```
firebase init

◯ Functions: Configure and deploy Cloud Functions
```

## Install dependencies

```
cd functions
npm install
npm install apollo-server-express express graphql
```
