# Apollo
Apollo Server with GraphQL experimentation.
> Find more in the article on my [blog](https://sylhare.github.io/2021/07/26/Apollo-and-graphql.html)
## Setup
Install and run the server in the `javascript`or `typescript` folder using:
```bash
npm install
npm start
```
The server will run at [localhost:4000](http://localhost:4000/)
## Usage
### Simple
Once the api launch type this simple _mutation query_ to retrieve the information you need:
```graphql
{
books {
title
}
}
```
Here you want the books and for each the title.
### Query
You can also use named queries like:
```graphql
query GetBooks {
books {
title
author {
name
}
}
}
```
Queries can be structured by the client based on the shape of the object types you define in your schema. That way they
can retrieve as much or as little they need.
### Mutation
Add a book using this simple example mutation:
```graphql
mutation CreateBook {
addBook(title: "Fox in Socks", author: "Dr. Seuss") {
title
author {
name
}
}
}
```
In theory, you'd have an asynchronous call to save and return the saved data. However, there's no database linked to it,
so The book won't be saved.
### Subscriptions
[Subscriptions](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/data/subscriptions/) are events that are pushed from
the server to the client side subscribed to it. That means it can't be polled via http, but pushed via WebSocket
protocol on a specific endpoint. For example, a chat application's server might use a subscription to push newly
received messages to all clients in a particular chat room.
```graphql
subscription BookFeed {
bookAdded {
title
}
}
```
