Should I migrate from GraphQL-Yoga to Apollo-Server?

#1

Topic.

There has already been some discussion here: graphql-yoga #449

Is there an official stance on on this? Will yoga still be the recomended way to go?

Localhost Playground isn't allowing for the same data structures as Prism Cloud Console

Update: I migrated to apollo-server. Here is my index.js before

const { GraphQLServer } = require('graphql-yoga')
const prisma = require('./prisma')
const { resolvers } = require('./resolvers')
const middlewares = require('./middlewares')

const server = new GraphQLServer({
  typeDefs: './src/schema/index.graphql',
  resolvers,
  middlewares, // disabled auth for development
  context: req => ({
    ...req,
    prisma
  })
})

const options = {
  // only enable playground during development
  playground: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? '/' : false
}

server.start(options, ({ port, endpoint }) => console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${port}${endpoint === '/' ? '' : endpoint }`))

And here it is after

const { ApolloServer, makeExecutableSchema } = require('apollo-server')
const { applyMiddleware } = require('graphql-middleware')
const { importSchema } = require('graphql-import')

const prisma = require('./prisma')

const typeDefs = importSchema('./src/schema/index.graphql')
const { resolvers } = require('./resolvers')
const middlewares = require('./middlewares')

const schema = makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs, resolvers })
const schemaWithMiddleware = applyMiddleware(schema, ...middlewares)

const server = new ApolloServer({
  schema: schemaWithMiddleware,
  context: ({ req }) => ({
    ...req,
    prisma
  }),
  playground: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
  debug: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
})

server.listen()
  .then(({ url, server }) => {
    console.log(`Server is running on ${url}`)
  })

I have not done any testing yet but at least it serves the schema and grapqhl playground.

Update 2: split that file for clarity. Here are my main files if anyone wants to use it as an example:

// src/index.js
const { ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server')

const prisma = require('./prisma')
const schema = require('./schema')

const server = new ApolloServer({
  schema,
  context: ({ req }) => ({
    ...req,
    prisma
  }),
  playground: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
  debug: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
})

server.listen()
  .then(({ url, server }) => {
    console.log(`Server is running on ${url}`)
  })

// src/schema.js
const { makeExecutableSchema } = require('apollo-server')
const { applyMiddleware } = require('graphql-middleware')
const { importSchema } = require('graphql-import')

const typeDefs = importSchema('./src/schema/index.graphql')
const { resolvers } = require('./resolvers')
const middlewares = require('./middlewares')

const schema = makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs, resolvers })
const schemaWithMiddleware = applyMiddleware(schema, ...middlewares)

module.exports = schemaWithMiddleware

// src/resolvers.js
const { extractFragmentReplacements } = require('prisma-binding')

const resolvers = {
  Query: require('./resolvers/Query'),
  Mutation: require('./resolvers/Mutation'),
  AuthPayload: require('./resolvers/AuthPayload')
}

module.exports = {
  resolvers,
  fragmentReplacements: extractFragmentReplacements(resolvers)
}

// src/prisma.js
const Bindings = require('prisma-binding')
const Client = require('./schema/generated/prisma-client')
const { fragmentReplacements } = require('./resolvers')

module.exports = {
  client: new Client.Prisma({
    fragmentReplacements,
    endpoint: process.env.PRISMA_ENDPOINT,
    secret: process.env.PRISMA_SECRET,
    debug: false
  }),
  bindings: new Bindings.Prisma({
    typeDefs: 'src/schema/generated/prisma.graphql',
    fragmentReplacements,
    endpoint: process.env.PRISMA_ENDPOINT,
    secret: process.env.PRISMA_SECRET,
    debug: false
  })
}

Set host name in GraphQLServer (graphql-yoga)

Intresting to see this. Most resources and tutorials are currently using graphql-yoga, so been wondering how to do this with pure prisma → apollo-server only. If you have a boilerplate repo it would be nice to see the full setup. :+1:

Hey, BenoitRanque, thank you for posting your solution. I followed your update and succesfuly managed to get things working!

I have a minor suggestion that may help. If you spread ...prisma into centext. Then you may use forwardTo like this in your queries/mutations… const { forwardTo } = require('prisma-binding'); and users: forwardTo('bindings'), :slight_smile:

I migrate today to apollo server.
Hope the Prisma team will give us a clear guideline regarding this matter: should we migrate GraphQL Yoga to apollo server?
