GraphQL Yoga
Fully-featured GraphQL Server with focus on easy setup, performance & great developer experience
Installation
npm i @graphql-yoga/node graphql
Quickstart
You will need to provide schema to Yoga, either by an existing executable schema, or by providing your type definitions and resolver map:
import { createServer } from '@graphql-yoga/node'
const server = createServer({
schema: {
typeDefs: /* GraphQL */ `
type Query {
hello: String
}
`,
resolvers: {
Query: {
hello: () => 'Hello from Yoga!',
},
},
},
})
server.start()
Overview
- Easiest way to run a GraphQL server: Sensible defaults & includes everything you need with minimal setup (we also export a platform/env-agnostic handler so you can build your own wrappers easily).
- Includes Subscriptions: Built-in support for GraphQL subscriptions using S**erver-Sent **Events.
- Compatible: Works with all GraphQL clients (Apollo, Relay, Urql...) and fits seamless in your GraphQL workflow.
