full-cycle-2.0-graphql

Files I produced during the GraphQL classes of my Microservices Full Cycle 3.0 course.

GraphQL, let the clients choose what they want!

An example in Golang, gqlgen

https://gqlgen.com/getting-started/

go mod init github.com/axell-brendow/full-cycle-2.0-graphql
go get github.com/99designs/gqlgen
go run github.com/99designs/gqlgen init  # Generate files for graphql implementations in Go

Make sure your go binaries are in your PATH variable. In my case they are at $HOME/go/bin.

Restart your terminal then run:

qglgen generate  # Generate files from your schemas and models

To start the GraphQL Playground at localhost:8080, run:

go run server.go
