Installing Apollo Server and GraphQL
In this lesson, we'll install the Express variation of the popular Apollo Server library and the GraphQL JavaScript library.
📣 The
graphql
JavaScript library now provides its own type definitions so we'll no longer need to install the accompanying community prepared typings.
In the lesson video, we show how we install the additional typings for the
graphql
library from the DefinitelyTyped repository. As of now, however, we'll no longer need to install the community provided typings since thegraphql
library now provides its own type definitions!
We've mentioned that the GraphQL specification isn't tied to any specific technology. We've also talked about one of the popular suite of tools in the GraphQL ecosystem, Apollo.
