In the previous week, we looked into a basic GraphQL Server implementation in TypeScript. In this episode of ...

GraphQL Server in under 5 minutes series

... we will take a look at the full-stack template of React GraphQL app.

The Fullstack React GraphQL Boilerplate repo contains minimal, basic & advanced boilerplates, each allowing to bootstrap a GraphQL server in no time, whether you want to build a simple "Hello world!" or a fully-featured enterprise app.

Getting started

The minimal boilerplate is only two commands away. Just go for:

npm install -g graphql-cli
graphql create my-app

Then yarn start or npm run start will start your basic GraphQL server on a localhost:4000. Basic & advanced setup requires a couple more steps.

After installing GraphQL CLI, bootstrap GraphQL server with:

graphql create my-app

when prompted pick the desired boilerplate & deploy the Prisma service to a _public cluster_, then navigate into server directory of your new project and start it:

cd my-app/server

yarn dev

this will run a server on localhost:4000, along with GraphQL Playground; open new terminal tab & navigate back to my-app, then run the app

cd ..
yarn start
