Overview of this book

GraphQL is an alternative to traditional REST technology for querying Web APIs. Together with Angular and TypeScript, it provides a tech stack option for building future-proof web applications that are robust and maintainable at any scale. This book leverages the potential of cutting-edge technologies like GraphQL and Apollo and helps Angular developers add it to their stack. Starting with introducing full-stack development, you will learn to create a monorepo project with Lerna and NPM Workspaces. You will then learn to configure Node.js-based backend using GraphQL, Express, and Apollo Server. The book will demonstrate how to build professional-looking UIs with Angular Material. It will then show you how to create Web APIs for your frontend with GraphQL. All this in a step-by-step manner. The book covers advanced topics such as local state management, reactive variables, and generating TypeScript types using the GraphQL scheme to develop a scalable codebase. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills you need to be able to build your full-stack application.

Creating a GraphQL API

In this section, we'll learn how to create our GraphQL API using Apollo Server, an open source GraphQL server maintained by the community. First, we'll create a server with a simple schema. Then, we will add the types and resolvers to enable us to query and mutate posts, comments, and likes that are made by each user; we will use fake data first, before adding a real database.

Installing the necessary libraries

Let's start by installing the necessary libraries. Head back to your Terminal and run the following commands from the root of the server/ folder:

npm install graphql apollo-server-express @graphql-tools/utils @graphql-tools/schema
npm install --save-dev @types/graphql graphql-tag

The graphql-tag library exports a JavaScript template literal tag that converts GraphQL query strings to a GraphQL Abstract Syntax Tree.

The previous commands will install graphql v15.6.0, apollo-server-express v3.3.0, @graphql-tools/schema v 8.2...
