## Quick start



### Install



```sh

pnpm add graphql-yoga graphql

```



### Start



Make a schema, create Yoga and start a Node server:



```ts

import { createServer } from 'node:http'

import { createSchema, createYoga } from 'graphql-yoga'



const yoga = createYoga({

  schema: createSchema({

    typeDefs: /* GraphQL */ `

      type Query {

        hello: String

      }

    `,

    resolvers: {

      Query: {

        hello: () => 'Hello from Yoga!'

      }

    }

  })

})



const server = createServer(yoga)



server.listen(4000, () => {

  console.info('Server is running on http://localhost:4000/graphql')

})

```



## Overview



- **Easiest way to run a GraphQL server:** Sensible defaults & includes everything you need with

  minimal setup (we also export a platform/env-agnostic handler so you can build your own wrappers

  easily).

- **Includes Subscriptions:** Built-in support for GraphQL subscriptions using

  [**S**erver-**S**ent **E**vents](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events/Using_server-sent_events).

- **Compatible:** Works with all GraphQL clients

  ([Apollo](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/), [Relay](https://relay.dev/),

  [Urql](https://formidable.com/open-source/urql/)...) and fits seamless in your GraphQL workflow.

- **WHATWG Fetch API:** the core package depends on

  [WHATWG Fetch API](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/) so it can run and deploy on any environment

  (Serverless, Workers, Deno, Node).

- **Easily Extendable:** New GraphQL-Yoga support all [`envelop`](https://www.envelop.dev) plugins.
