Full-stack Apollo GraphQL app using React and Node JS

Apollo GraphQL: How to build a Full-stack app with React and Node Js

Apollo Client is a complete state management library for JavaScript apps. It's a powerful tool since it can be used on both back-end and front-end side. In this tutorial, we will use it on both by building first an Apollo GraphQL Server with Node JS and then consume the data on the client-side using React JS.

apollo-graphql-full-stack's Issues

Running this code on my own servers "something went wrong" each time.

Hi,

I know this is an absolute beginners question, but how does the client app know where to find the server? I'm running the server in one terminal and its listening on localhost:4000, and running the client in another terminal and its showing localhost:3000 but I can't for the life of me work out how they find each other. When I start the client I get "Something went wrong!" constantly and I'm guessing its because the client can't find the server?

More than an issue it may be a typo with a quick fix.

Hi there @ibrahima92 I hope you are doing well. While following your tutorial on FreeCodeCamp about apollo and graphql, I could notice that where it says:

// first add nodemon: yarn add nodemon --dev
  "scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon src/index.js"
  }

It should say:

// first add nodemon: yarn add nodemon --dev
  "scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon src/app.js"
  }

As in the tutorial we are creating the app.js as the main file for the server side. I have also tested already and in fact if you use the index.js it will throw and error because it is a nonexistent file. I hope maybe some newbies like me(just starting in the development world, as they may be confused while trying to follow the tutorial).
