TypeScript and GraphQL Example

One of the strengths of GraphQL is enforcing data types on runtime. Further, TypeScript and GraphQL Code Generator (graphql-codegen) make it safer by typing data statically, so you can write truly type-protected code with rich IDE assists.

This template extends Apollo Server and Client Example by rewriting in TypeScript and integrating graphql-let, which runs TypeScript React Apollo in graphql-codegen under the hood. It enhances the typed GraphQL use as below:

import { useNewsQuery } from './news.graphql'

const News = () => {
	// Typed already️⚡️
	const { data: { news } } = useNewsQuery()

	return <div>{news.map(...)}</div>
}

By default **/*.graphqls is recognized as GraphQL schema and **/*.graphql as GraphQL documents. If you prefer the other extensions, make sure the settings of the webpack loader in next.config.js and .graphql-let.yml are consistent.

How to use

Execute create-next-app with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example with-typescript-graphql with-typescript-graphql-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example with-typescript-graphql with-typescript-graphql-app

Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
