Starter Graphql Next Js

Overview:

This is a starter template for building a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application using Apollo GraphQL server, Next.js, and MongoDB. It provides a basic setup and structure to quickly start developing a GraphQL API with a frontend interface.

Features:

• CRUD Functionality: The template provides the basic functionality for creating, reading, updating, and deleting data from a MongoDB database.
• Apollo GraphQL Server: Apollo is used as the GraphQL server to handle the API requests and queries.
• Next.js Framework: Next.js is used as the frontend framework, allowing for server-side rendering and easy navigation between pages.
• MongoDB Integration: The template includes setup and connection to a MongoDB database for storing and retrieving data.

Installation:

To install and set up the starter template, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository_url>

2. Install the dependencies:

npm install

3. Set up and connect to your MongoDB database by adding your database credentials and connection URL in the .env file.

4. Generate the schema and types:

npm run generate

5. Start the development server:

npm run dev

6. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the result.

7. You can start editing the page by modifying the pages/index.tsx file. The page will auto-update as you edit the file.

8. API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/graphql. This endpoint can be edited in the pages/api/graphql.ts file.

9. The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.

Summary:

This starter template provides a convenient setup for building a CRUD application using Apollo GraphQL server, Next.js, and MongoDB. It offers basic functionality, integration with MongoDB, and easy customization options for both the frontend and backend. With this template, developers can quickly start developing their application without spending time on initial setup and configuration.
