graphql-express-nodejs

This template is used to easily start a GraphQL project, which uses NodeJS and Express.

Currently runs with:

• Express: v4.17.1
• GraphQL: v14.7.0
• Express-GraphQL: v0.9.0

Getting started

Clone this repo locally:

git clone https://github.com/Lucian1000/graphql-express-nodejs.git

Install dependencies with npm:

npm i

Developing

To run this project you have to simply type in a command-line:

npm start

This will start a GraphQL API server at http://localhost:4000.

You can now test the API with this:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"query": "{persons {name} }" }'

Configs

In src/config/serve-config.ts you can see the development configs, which are used in index.ts to serve the application at http://localhost:4000. As you can see in the code, the config-object changes depending on NODE_ENV variable.
