React & Apollo Tutorial

This is the sample project that belongs to the React & Apollo Tutorial on How to GraphQL.

Running the App

1. Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/howtographql/react-apollo/

2. Install dependencies & Deploy the Prisma database API

cd react-apollo/server
yarn install
yarn prisma deploy

When prompted where (i.e. to which Prisma server) you want to deploy your service, choose the Demo server which can be used for free in Prisma Cloud. If you haven't done so already, you will be asked to register with Prisma Cloud (which you can do via GitHub). For the following prompts in the terminal you can select the suggested values by hitting Enter. (If you have Docker installed, you can also choose to deploy Prisma locally by Creating a new database.)

3. Set the Prisma API endpoint

The prisma deploy command wrote the endpoint property into server/database/prisma.yml. Copy it from there and paste it into server/src/index.js where it's used to instantiate the Prisma binding. You need to replace the current placeholder __PRISMA_ENDPOINT__:

const server = new GraphQLServer({
  typeDefs: './src/schema.graphql',
  resolvers,
  context: req => ({
    ...req,
    db: new Prisma({
      typeDefs: 'src/generated/prisma.graphql',
      endpoint: '__PRISMA_ENDPOINT__',
      secret: 'mysecret123',
    }),
  }),
})

For example:

const server = new GraphQLServer({
  typeDefs: './src/schema.graphql',
  resolvers,
  context: req => ({
    ...req,
    db: new Prisma({
      typeDefs: 'src/generated/prisma.graphql',
      endpoint: 'https://eu1.prisma.sh/john-doe/hackernews-graphql-js/dev',
      secret: 'mysecret123',
    }),
  }),
})

4. Start the server

To start the server, all you need to do is execute the start script by running the following command inside the server directory:

yarn start

Note: If you want to interact with the GraphQL APIs inside a GraphQL Playground, you can also run yarn dev.

5. Run the app

Now that the server is running, you can start the app as well. The commands need to be run in a new terminal tab/window inside the root directory react-apollo (because the current tab is blocked by the process running the server):

yarn install
yarn start

You can now open your browser and use the app on http://localhost:3000.
