graphql-yoga

graphql-yoga  is a batteries-included GraphQL server that works in any JavaScript runtime.

Installation

npm install graphql-yoga
pnpm add graphql-yoga
yarn add graphql-yoga

Prerequisites

Create an executable schema following the Getting Started guide.

Basic Server

// src/server.ts
import { createServer } from "node:http";
import { createYoga } from "graphql-yoga";
import { schema } from "./schema";
 
const yoga = createYoga({ schema });
const server = createServer(yoga);
 
server.listen(4000, () => {
  console.log("Server is running on http://localhost:4000/graphql");
});

With Context

If your resolvers use a context type, first set up context and resolver factories, then provide a context factory to your server:

// src/server.ts
import { createServer } from "node:http";
import { createYoga } from "graphql-yoga";
import { schema } from "./schema";
import type { Context } from "./gqlkit/context";
 
const yoga = createYoga<{}, Context>({
  schema,
  context: async ({ request }) => {
    const user = await getUserFromRequest(request);
    return {
      currentUser: user,
      db: database,
    };
  },
});
 
const server = createServer(yoga);
 
server.listen(4000, () => {
  console.log("Server is running on http://localhost:4000/graphql");
});
