systeminformation-graphql-api

A light weight node/express service to access APIs of systeminformation package via GraphQL. It acts as a middleware between data source(systeminformation/nodeJS) and client to expose it as a GRAPHQL API and can serve any client application irrespective of of the programming language, just like REST api.

Dependencies

node.js and npm. Uses: express to setup web service, express-graphql to create a GraphQL HTTP Server Middleware. npm install will automatically install all the dependencies.

How to use it

Download

Clone or download it from: git clone https://github.com/innowhat//systeminformation-graphql-api.git

Run server

Open the cmd in the directory where you cloned systeminformation-graphql-api and then in the cmd

npm install
npm start

Go to browser and open the url below http://localhost:5000/graphql

Run server with Demo App

Run the server concurrently with a demo app(create-react-app)

npm install
