GraphQL Demo

Setup

Dependencies

This project uses MongoDB. The easiest way to install this is with chocolatey:

choco install mongodb

Install packages:

npm install

VS Code Tools (optional)

For a better developer experience you will want to install the GraphQL for VSCode extension. This has a dependency on Watchman, instructions for installing this can be found here.

Running

To start the app:

npm start

Browse

• The GraphQL playground should be available on http://localhost:5000/graphql
• The app should be available on http://localhost:5001/

Hack away!

• The server will restart if you make changes
• The app will live reload if you make changes

Some ideas

• Add another type
• Store projects in there own collection and modify the field resolver to load them
• Add an update developer mutation (hint you might need an input object type)
• Add components to display individual developer with more details
• Swap out the database provider
• Rewrite the back end in .NET with Hot Chocolate
