Simple full-stack application with GraphQL, Apollo 4, Node.js, Express, React, MongoDB, TypeScript

Uku Lele — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 06:55:52 +0000

We will create a simple full-stack application. On the client (in the browser), we will display information about users. We will be able to add a user to the database and get user information by user id. On the client side, we will use React, GraphQL, Apollo Client, TypeScript. On the server side we will use GraphQL, Apollo Server 4, TypeScript, Node.js, Express. The data will be stored in the database MongoDB.

Required Software
The computer must have the following software installed:

Beginning
Create a new directory for your app:
mkdir ragnemt-app

Server
Create a server directory under the ragnemt-app directory:
cd ragnemt-app mkdir server

Go to the server directory, create a package.json file
and install Apollo Server and GraphQL:
cd server npm init -y npm i @apollo/server graphql
Install express, body-parser, @types/cors and @types/body-parser:
npm i express body-parser @types/cors @types/body-parser

Install Apollo data source, mongoose for MongoDB:
npm i apollo-datasource-mongodb mongoose

Install TypeScript:
npm i --save-dev typescript @types/node
Create a tsconfig.json file in the server folder. Add the following configuration to the file:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "rootDirs": [
            "src"
        ],
        "outDir": "dist",
        "lib": [
            "es2020"
        ],
        "target": "es2020",
        "module": "esnext",
        "moduleResolution": "node",
        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "types": [
            "node"
        ],
    },
    "include": ["src"],
}

Create a src directory under the server directory.
mkdir src cd src

Create a types.ts file in the _src _directory:

import { ObjectId } from 'mongodb';

export interface UserDocument {
  _id?: ObjectId
  username: string
  password: string
  email: string
}

export interface Context {
  loggedInUser: UserDocument
}

Create a schema and convert it to a model. Create a models directory in the src directory. Create a user.ts file in the models directory:

import mongoose, { Schema } from "mongoose";
import { ObjectId } from 'mongodb';

const userSchema = new Schema({
  _id: ObjectId,
  username: String,
  password: String,
  email: String,
});

export const User = mongoose.model("user", userSchema);

Create a dataSources directory in the src directory. Create a users.ts file in the dataSources directory:

import { MongoDataSource } from 'apollo-datasource-mongodb';
import { ObjectId } from 'mongodb';
import { UserDocument, Context } from '../types';

export default class Users extends MongoDataSource<UserDocument, Context> {

  getUsers() {
    return this.collection.find().toArray();
  }

  getUser(userId: ObjectId) {
    return this.collection.findOne({_id: new ObjectId(userId)});
  }

  addUser(username: string, password: string, email: string) {
    return this.collection.insertMany([{username, password, email}]);
  }
}

Create a index.ts file in the directory src and make it look like this:

import mongoose, { ObjectId } from 'mongoose';
import { ApolloServer } from '@apollo/server';
import { expressMiddleware } from '@apollo/server/express4';
import { ApolloServerPluginDrainHttpServer } from '@apollo/server/plugin/drainHttpServer';
import { GraphQLError } from 'graphql';
import express from 'express';
import http from 'http';
import cors from 'cors';
import { User as UserModel } from './models/user.js';
import Users from './dataSources/users.js';
import pkg from 'body-parser';
import { UserDocument } from './types.js';
const { json } = pkg;

await mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/ragnemt');

const app = express();
// Our httpServer handles incoming requests to our Express app.
// Below, we tell Apollo Server to "drain" this httpServer,
// enabling our servers to shut down gracefully.
const httpServer = http.createServer(app);

const typeDefs = `#graphql
  type User {
    _id: ID!
    username: String
    password: String
    email: String
  }
  type Query {
    users: [User]
    user(_id: ID!): User
  }
  type Mutation {
    addUser(username: String, password: String, email: String): User
  }
`;

const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    users: (_parent: any, _args: any, { dataSourses }) => {
      return  dataSourses.users.getUsers();
    },
    user: (_parent: any, { _id }, { dataSourses }) => {
      return dataSourses.users.getUser(_id)
        .then((res: UserDocument) => {
          if (!res) {
            throw new GraphQLError(
              `User with User Id ${_id} does not exist.`
            );
          }
          return res;
        });
    },
  },
  Mutation: {
    addUser: (_parent: any, { username, password, email }, { dataSourses }) => {
      return dataSourses.users.addUser(username, password, email)
        .then((res: { insertedIds: ObjectId[]; }) => ({ _id: res.insertedIds[0], username, password, email }))
    }
  }
}

interface MyContext {
  dataSources?: {
    users: Users;
  };
}

const server = new ApolloServer<MyContext>({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  plugins: [
    // Proper shutdown for the HTTP server.
    ApolloServerPluginDrainHttpServer({ httpServer }),
  ],
});
await server.start();

app.use(
  cors<cors.CorsRequest>(),
  json(),
  expressMiddleware(server, {
    context: async ({ req }) => ({
      token: req.headers.token,
      dataSourses: {
        users: new Users(await UserModel.createCollection())
      }
    }),
  }),
);

app.listen({ port: 4000 }, () => console.log(`🚀 Server ready at http://localhost:4000`))

    for (let i = 0; i < tabcontent.length; i++) {
      tabcontent[i].setAttribute("style","display:none");
    }
    const tablinks = document.getElementsByClassName("tablinks");
    for (let i = 0; i < tablinks.length; i++) {
