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.

Chapter 4: Implementing Authentication and Image Uploads with Apollo Server

In the previous chapter, we covered how to connect a MySQL database to our web application using TypeORM and we implemented some of the resolvers for communicating with the database. We've been able to expose a working GraphQL API with actual resolvers that query and remove data from a real MySQL database.

We used TypeORM for working with the database instead of plain SQL, which abstracts the underlying database management system and SQL instructions using high-level programming constructs in TypeScript.

We have created the TypeORM entities responsible for generating the database tables and columns for our social application and integrated TypeORM with Apollo Server. In this chapter, we'll see how to add authentication and image uploads with Apollo Server to our GraphQL API and we'll implement more resolvers.

We'll learn about the necessary concepts for adding authentication with...
