Boilerplate for a Basic Fullstack GraphQL App with React

🚀 Bootstrap your fullstack GraphQL app within seconds

Basic starter kit for a fullstack GraphQL app with React and Node.js - based on best practices from the GraphQL community.

Features

• Scalable GraphQL server: The server uses graphql-yoga which is based on Apollo Server & Express
• Pre-configured Apollo Client: The project comes with a preconfigured setup for Apollo Client
• MongoDB: Uses Mongoose as bindings to a local or remote MongoDB database.
• Tooling: Out-of-the-box support for GraphQL Playground
• Extensible: GraphQL Models are automatically generated from Mongoose schema with graphql-compose

Requirements

You need a local or remote MongoDB instance to start the server. To configure a remote connection, just take a look at the connection code to find which enviroment variables are used.

Getting started

Copy this repo in your local machine and then install the required dependencies:

cd react-fullstack-graphql/basic/
yarn install

cd server
yarn install

Now you're ready to start the server and the client, just type to run the server:

yarn start

Open another terminal instance to run the client:

cd react-fullstack-graphql/basic/
yarn start
