In this session, we will build a GraphQL server based on the Movie DB REST API.

Running on CodeSandbox

1. Click the button above to navigate to the CodeSandbox. Fork it to your account by clicking Fork in the top menu.
2. That's it! CodeSandbox features HMR, a console, and a test runner. It's pretty awesome. 😍 If you see an error message, don't worry - it's because we haven't built our server yet.

Running the app locally

1. Ensure you're using at least node@8 and npm@5
2. Clone, install, and run the server

$ git clone https://github.com/mstuart/xoom-graphql-workshop.git
$ cd xoom-graphql-workshop
$ npm install

To get the app up and running (and really see if it worked), run:

$ npm start
$ open http://localhost:4000

Branches

If you get stuck at any time, click the sandbox for the exercise you want and fork it. Most steps have a solution branch.
