Koa	Setting up Apollo Server with Koa

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

npm install apollo-server-koa graphql

Koa

const Koa = require('koa');
const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server-koa');

// Construct a schema, using GraphQL schema language
const typeDefs = gql`
  type Query {
    hello: String
  }
`;

// Provide resolver functions for your schema fields
const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    hello: () => 'Hello world!',
  },
};

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

const app = new Koa();
server.applyMiddleware({ app });

app.listen({ port: 4000 }, () =>
  console.log(`🚀 Server ready at http://localhost:4000${server.graphqlPath}`),
);

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
