This GraphQL server, developed using Apollo and Node JS, is specifically designed for learning purposes and provides a simple and efficient way to manage books. With this server, you can perform various operations such as fetching existing books, adding new books, and removing existing books. The main goal is to understand the fundamentals of GraphQL implementation with Apollo.
The server is built on the Apollo framework, which is a popular choice for creating GraphQL servers due to its excellent tooling and developer-friendly features.
To retrieve books, you can send a GraphQL query books specifying the desired fields. The server will respond with the requested information, enabling you to easily display book details, such as title and author.\
To retrieve a book, you can send a GraphQL query book with a required id.
Adding a new book is straightforward. You can send a mutation request addBook with the necessary information, including the book's attributes like title, author. The server will process the request, create a new book entry, and return the added book to indicate the operation's completion.
Similarly, removing a book involves sending a mutation request removeBook with the book's unique identifier. The server will identify the book based on the provided identifier, remove it from the database, and return the deleted book.
