GraphQL Yoga
Install adapter
npm i @aexol/axolotl-core @aexol/axolotl-graphql-yoga graphql-yoga graphql
Now you need a schema.graphql
file or a URL with settings to download the schema from upstream. Out of it Axolotl can generate simple type definitions needed for the library out of your GraphQL Schema.
models.ts
are located where you specify when initiating Axolotl
First execute axolotl build
command
npx @aexol/axolotl build
Then write your axolotl.ts
file.
axolotl.ts
import { Axolotl } from '@aexol/axolotl-core';
import { graphqlYogaAdapter } from '@aexol/axolotl-graphql-yoga';
import { Models } from './models.js';
export const { createResolvers, adapter } = Axolotl(graphqlYogaAdapter)<Models>();
resolvers.ts
import { createResolvers } from './axolotl.js';
export default createResolvers({
// your type-safe resolvers here
});
Then write your index.ts
file.
index.ts
import { adapter } from './axolotl.js';
import resolvers from './resolvers.js';
adapter({resolvers}).server.listen(4000, () => {
console.log('LISTENING');
});
You can also use this adapter with express. This is useful when dealing with webhooks. Take a look how to implement a simple webhook.
index.ts
import { adapter } from './axolotl.js';
import resolvers from './resolvers.js';
import express from 'express'
const app = express();
const {yoga} = adapter({ resolvers });
app.use(yoga.graphqlEndpoint, yoga)
app.get('/webhook', (req, res) => {
res.send('Show me the money!')
})
app.listen(4000, () => {
console.log('Running a GraphQL API server at http://localhost:4000/graphql')
})
And you can implement anything you want in express now.
