GraphQL Learning

Simple bit of NodeJS + React learning/playing around with GraphQL.

Basically an app that can add books/authors, and view those some basic details using GraphQL. Not a pretty app, but the goal was to learn GraphQL!

Database under the hood uses MongoDB Atlas. See .env.template for required env variables.

GraphQL Operations

query GetAuthors {
  authors {
    id
    name
    dob
    books {
      id
      name
      genre
    }
  }
}

query GetAuthor($id: ID!) {
  author(id: $id) {
    id
    name
    dob
    books {
      id
      name
      genre
    }
  }
}

query GetBooks {
  books {
    id
    name
    genre
    author {

    name
    genre
    author {
      id
      name
      dob
