Welcome to the workshop. Our goal is to create an express application which serves a GraphQL endpoint for Schiphol API using graphql-js and Apollo.
First of all, we need our initial dependencies in place. Our package.json
file is ready for installation. Let's have a look what it will install for us:
- graphql: Javascript implementation for GraphQL
- express: Express server. We will create our application to serve GraphQL
- apollo-server-express: Express integration of GraphQL server
- graphql-tools: Helper library for schema creation
- body-parser: Will use for parsing our responses to JSON
- nodemon: Will run our application and watch our files for changes
So, go ahead and run npm install or npm i
After the installation ends go to step 1 by checking out the branch:
git checkout step-1
