Hapi	Setting up Apollo Server with Hapi

This is the Hapi integration of Apollo Server. Apollo Server is a community-maintained open-source Apollo Server that works with many Node.js HTTP server frameworks. Read the docs. Read the CHANGELOG.

npm install apollo-server-hapi@rc

Usage

The code below requires Hapi 17 or higher.

const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server-hapi');
const Hapi = require('hapi');

async function StartServer() {
  const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers });

  const app = new Hapi.server({
    port: 4000
  });

  await server.applyMiddleware({
    app,
  });

  await server.installSubscriptionHandlers(app.listener);

  await app.start();
}

StartServer().catch(error => console.log(error));

Context

The context is created for each request. The following code snippet shows the creation of a context. The arguments are the request, the request, and h, the response toolkit.

new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  context: async ({ request, h }) => {
    return { ... };
  },
})

Principles

Apollo Server is built with the following principles in mind:

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