JSPM – apollo-server-express@2.19.0

Package Exports

apollo-server-express
apollo-server-express/dist/expressApollo
apollo-server-express/dist/index

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (apollo-server-express) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

This is the Express and Connect integration of GraphQL Server. Apollo Server is a community-maintained open-source GraphQL server that works with many Node.js HTTP server frameworks. Read the docs. Read the CHANGELOG.

npm install apollo-server-express

Express

const express = require('express');
const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server-express');

// Construct a schema, using GraphQL schema language
const typeDefs = gql`
  type Query {
    hello: String
  }
`;

// Provide resolver functions for your schema fields
const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    hello: () => 'Hello world!',
  },
};

const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers });

const app = express();
server.applyMiddleware({ app });

app.listen({ port: 4000 }, () =>
  console.log(`🚀 Server ready at http://localhost:4000${server.graphqlPath}`)
);

Connect

We recommend using express rather than connect. However, if you wish to use connect, please install connect and qs-middleware, in addition to apollo-server-express.

npm install --save connect qs-middleware apollo-server-express

const connect = require('connect');
const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server-express');
const query = require('qs-middleware');

// Construct a schema, using GraphQL schema language
const typeDefs = gql`
  type Query {
    hello: String
  }
`;

// Provide resolver functions for your schema fields
const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    hello: () => 'Hello world!',
  },
};

const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers });

const app = connect();
const path = '/graphql';

app.use(query());
server.applyMiddleware({ app, path });

app.listen({ port: 4000 }, () =>
  console.log(`🚀 Server ready at http://localhost:4000${server.graphqlPath}`)
);

Note: qs-middleware is only required if running outside of Meteor

Simplicity: by keeping things simple, GraphQL Server is easier to use, easier to contribute to, and more secure
Performance: GraphQL Server is well-tested and production-ready - no modifications needed
