title: Hapi description: Setting up Apollo Server with Hapi

This is the Hapi integration of Apollo Server. Apollo Server is a community-maintained open-source Apollo Server that works with all Node.js HTTP server frameworks: Express, Connect, Hapi, Koa and Restify. Read the docs. Read the CHANGELOG.

npm install apollo-server-hapi

Usage

After constructing Apollo server, a hapi server can be enabled with a call to registerServer. Ensure that autoListen is set to false in the Hapi.server constructor.

The code below requires Hapi 17 or higher.

const Hapi = require('hapi');
const { ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server');
const { registerServer } = require('apollo-server-hapi');

const HOST = 'localhost';

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

  //Note: autoListen is required, since Apollo Server will start the listener
  const app = new Hapi.server({
    autoListen: false,
    host: HOST,
  });

  //apply other plugins

  await registerServer({ server, app });

  //port is optional and defaults to 4000
  server.listen({ port: 4000 }).then(({ url }) => {
    console.log(`🚀  Server ready at ${url}`);
  });
}

StartServer().catch(error => console.log(e));

Principles

Apollo Server is built with the following principles in mind:

• By the community, for the community: Apollo Server's development is driven by the needs of developers
• Simplicity: by keeping things simple, Apollo Server is easier to use, easier to contribute to, and more secure
• Performance: Apollo Server is well-tested and production-ready - no modifications needed
