Update CHANGELOG for all releases back to v1.1.3 (#915) 
There were many missing releases and bullet points as well as inaccurate
ones. For example, it was impossible to figure out that users of Hapi 16 who
want to use Apollo Cache Control needed to use precisely version 1.2.0 of
apollo-server-hapi (which wasn't even mentioned).

Link to CHANGELOG from all READMEs. Add READMEs for the graphql-server-*
packages. Add an explanation of our versioning system to the top of
CHANGELOG.md.

npm version Build Status Coverage Status Get on Slack

This is the Express and Connect integration of GraphQL Server. Apollo Server is a community-maintained open-source GraphQL server that works with all Node.js HTTP server frameworks: Express, Connect, Hapi, Koa and Restify. Read the docs. Read the CHANGELOG.

npm install apollo-server-express

Express

import express from 'express';
import bodyParser from 'body-parser';
import { graphqlExpress } from 'apollo-server-express';

const myGraphQLSchema = // ... define or import your schema here!
const PORT = 3000;

const app = express();

// bodyParser is needed just for POST.
app.use('/graphql', bodyParser.json(), graphqlExpress({ schema: myGraphQLSchema }));

app.listen(PORT);

Connect

import connect from 'connect';
import bodyParser from 'body-parser';
import { graphqlConnect } from 'apollo-server-express';
import http from 'http';

const PORT = 3000;

const app = connect();

// bodyParser is needed just for POST.
app.use('/graphql', bodyParser.json());
app.use('/graphql', graphqlConnect({ schema: myGraphQLSchema }));

http.createServer(app).listen(PORT);

Principles

GraphQL Server is built with the following principles in mind:

  • By the community, for the community: GraphQL Server's development is driven by the needs of developers
  • Simplicity: by keeping things simple, GraphQL Server is easier to use, easier to contribute to, and more secure
  • Performance: GraphQL Server is well-tested and production-ready - no modifications needed

Anyone is welcome to contribute to GraphQL Server, just read CONTRIBUTING.md, take a look at the roadmap and make your first PR!
