GraphQL & Node.JS coding exercise

An Apollo GraphQL server developed in Node.js. The project is structured in a scalable manner.

Tech

This project uses a number of open source libraries:

• node.js - evented I/O for the backend
• apollo-server - a community-maintained open-source GraphQL server
• apollo-server-test - tooling to make testing easier to users of all of the apollo-server integrations
• graphql - a query language for APIs created by Facebook.
• graphql-tools - a set of utilities for faster development of GraphQL Schemas
• mongoose - a set of utilities for generating MongoDB schemas
• jest - a javascript testing library
• eslint - a static code analyser library - manually configured to work with prettier

Installation

This project requires Node.js and MongoDB to be installed.

Install the dependencies and devDependencies and start the server.

$ npm install
$ npm start
