Setup

1. Clone the repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd graphql-demo

2. Install Dependencies

   npm install

Running the Server

To start the server, run the following command:

```bash
node server.js
```

The server will start, and you can access the Apollo Server Playground at http://localhost:4000/graphql.

Using the API

Once the server is running, you can use the Playground or any GraphQL client to test the API. Run the following queries in the playground.

1. Fetch all books with their authors

   {
       books {
           title
           author {
               name
           }
       }
   }
   

2. Fetch all authors and their books

   {
       authors {
           name
           books {
               title
           }
       }
   }
