Fullstack GraphQL Workshop

Welcome to the server portion of the workshop! For the morning session, we will be building a GraphQL server based on the Movie DB REST API.

File Structure (in order of importance):

server.js: Where all the magic happens to set up Apollo Server
schema.js: Your GraphQL schema goes here
resolvers/: Write your resolvers for each type in this folder
models/: Your models separate out the data fetching logic from your resolvers
loaders.js: We've already created a loader function for you here. You won't need to modify this file.
utils.js: A utility function for constructing query parameters. You won't need to modify this file.
store.js: A SQLite DB created with the Sequelize ORM for storing likes and user info. You won't need to modify this file.

On the left hand menu in Glitch, click Logs > Console
Confirm you're tracking origin by running git remote -v. If you are, then you can skip step #4 and go to step #5
If you are not tracking origin, run this command:

git remote add origin https://github.com/apollographql/fullstack-workshop-server && git fetch origin && git checkout 00-start && refresh

If you are tracking origin, run this command: git fetch origin && git checkout 00-start && refresh
Navigate to server.js. You should not see any ApolloServer setup code. If that's the case, then you're good to go!

I didn't complete the last exercise and want to catch up: No worries! I've created branches for all the steps in the workshop so everyone can go at their own pace. To check out the completed solution for your exercise, look for the branch above. In your Glitch terminal or local terminal, replace 01-apollo-server with the exercise you're on:

git stash
git checkout 01-apollo-server

I'm getting errors related to the Engine proxy: You need to make a .env file in the root that contains ENGINE_API_KEY=yourkeyhere. Replace yourkeyhere with the Engine key you get from creating your own service.

Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/apollographql/fullstack-workshop-server
Then, make a .env file with an ENGINE_API_KEY environment variable. You can get one here by creating your own Engine service.
Install the dependencies: npm i
Start the server: npm start. Your server will be running on port 3000. Your GraphQL server is available at localhost:3000/graphql and your GraphQL Playground is available at localhost:3000/graphql.
