Apollo + Graphcool Subscription Book App

To get started:

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/dabit3/apollo-subscriptions-book-club.git

2. cd into directory

cd apollo-subscriptions-book-club

3. Install dependencies

yarn
# or npm install

4. Install Graphcool CLI

npm install -g graphcool

5. Create GraphQL server

graphcool init --schema ./schema.graphql --name BookClub

From the terminal output, you need to grab the project ID and use it in the next step. This ID is also available in the generated project file project.graphcool.

Note: If you need to find out the available endpoints for your project, you can simply use the graphcool endpoints command (in the directory where project.graphcool is located) or grab them from the Graphcool Console.

6. Configure endpoints

Open app/index.js and set the projectId variable to your project ID from the previous step. The project ID will be used to configure the endpoints for the GraphQL API as well as for the subscriptions:

// Add your own project ID here
const projectId = '__YOUR_PROJECT_ID__'

// Endpoint for the Subscriptions API
const wsClient = new SubscriptionClient(`wss://subscriptions.graph.cool/v1/${projectId}`, {
  reconnect: true
});

// Endpoint for the regular GraphQL API
const networkInterface = createNetworkInterface({
  uri: `https://api.graph.cool/simple/v1/${projectId}`
});
