Apollo-express

A basic node graphql server to demonstrate running multiple datasources behind a single graphql endpoint using apollographql. This concept is handy if you wish to defer things like searching to different data providers.

This example includes:

• MongoDB
• sqlite
• Algolia
• fetch

Installation and running

yarn

yarn start

Mongo

This demo assumes you have a local mongo db setup with a database called test_1.

Algolia

This demo assumes that you have an aloglia account (Community Plan is fine). You just need to rename the .env.sample file to .env and enter your aloglia api key.

Run

Then visit to the delightful GraphiQL browser interface.

http://localhost:3000/graphiql

Example queries

Get all shipments - sqlite

{
  shipments {
    date
    reference
    items {
      description
      quantity
    }
  }
}

Get shipment - sqlite + mongodb

{
  shipment(reference: "Mrs. Maude Huel") {
    address
  }
}

Quote - fetch request

{
  quote
}

Getting results from sqlite after a search - Algolia + sqlite

{
  shipmentsByCarrier(carrier: "Langosh LLC") {
    date
    reference
  }
}
