Does apollo-client work on node.js?

Question

I need a graphql client lib to run on node.js for some testing and some data mashup - not in a production capacity. I\'m using apollo everywhere else (

Answer 1

Here is simple node js implementation.

'graphiql' client is good enough for development activities.

1. run npm install
2. start server with "node server.js"
3. hit "http://localhost:8080/graphiql"  for graphiql client

server.js

var graphql = require ('graphql').graphql  
var express = require('express')  
var graphQLHTTP = require('express-graphql')  

var Schema = require('./schema')  

// This is just an internal test
var query = 'query{starwar{name, gender,gender}}'  
graphql(Schema, query).then( function(result) {  
  console.log(JSON.stringify(result,null," "));
});

var app = express()  
  .use('/', graphQLHTTP({ schema: Schema, pretty: true, graphiql: true }))
  .listen(8080, function (err) {
    console.log('GraphQL Server is now running on localhost:8080');
  });

schema.js

//schema.js
var graphql = require ('graphql');  
var http = require('http');

var StarWar = [  
  { 
    "name": "default",
    "gender": "default",
    "mass": "default"
  }
];

var TodoType = new graphql.GraphQLObjectType({  
  name: 'starwar',
  fields: function () {
    return {
      name: {
        type: graphql.GraphQLString
      },
      gender: {
        type: graphql.GraphQLString
      },
      mass: {
        type: graphql.GraphQLString
      }
    }
  }
});



var QueryType = new graphql.GraphQLObjectType({  
  name: 'Query',
  fields: function () {
    return {
      starwar: {
        type: new graphql.GraphQLList(TodoType),
        resolve: function () {
          return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
            var request = http.get({
              hostname: 'swapi.co',
              path: '/api/people/1/',
              method: 'GET'
            }, function(res){
                    res.setEncoding('utf8');
                    res.on('data', function(response){
                    StarWar = [JSON.parse(response)];
                    resolve(StarWar)

                    console.log('On response success:' , StarWar);
                });
            });

            request.on('error', function(response){
                    console.log('On error' , response.message);
                });

            request.end();                      
          });
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

module.exports = new graphql.GraphQLSchema({  
  query: QueryType
});
