A GraphQL schema and server wrapping SWAPI.

SWAPI GraphQL Wrapper

A wrapper around SWAPI built using GraphQL converting it into this schema.

Uses:

• graphql-js - a JavaScript GraphQL runtime.
• DataLoader - for coalescing and caching fetches.
• express-graphql - to provide HTTP access to GraphQL.
• aws-serverless-express - to use express-graphql on aws lambda.
• GraphiQL - for easy exploration of this GraphQL server.

Getting Started

Install dependencies with

yarn

SWAPI Wrapper

The SWAPI wrapper is in ./swapi. It can be tested with:

yarn test

Local Server

A local express server is in ./server. It can be run with:

yarn start

A GraphiQL instance will be opened at http://localhost:8080/ (or similar; the actual port number will be printed to the console) to explore the API.
