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](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/). [Read the CHANGELOG.](https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-server/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)

|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm install apollo-server-express
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Express
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
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
|
|
