Install

If you do not have Meteor up and running, install it from here

meteor create --bare graphql-baby
cd graphql-baby

# Now we install our npm dependencies for server
meteor npm i -S graphql graphql-load apollo-server-express uuid graphql-tools graphql-type-json apollo-live-server

# Dependencies for the client
meteor npm i -S react-apollo apollo-live-client apollo-client apollo-cache-inmemory apollo-link apollo-link-http apollo-link-ws apollo-morpher subscriptions-transport-ws apollo-upload-client

# Now we add the package
meteor add cultofcoders:apollo

# Optional but highly recommended (so you can import .gql/.graphql files)
meteor add swydo:graphql

# If you're looking into Server Side Rendering with React
meteor npm i -S react react-dom react-apollo react-router apollo-link-schema

Let's setup a basic query and initialize our GraphQL server:

// file: server/main.js
import { initialize } from 'meteor/cultofcoders:apollo';
import { load } from 'graphql-load';

load({
  typeDefs: `
    type Query {
      sayHello: String
    }
  `,
  resolvers: {
    Query: {
      sayHello: () => 'Hello world!',
    },
  },
});

initialize();

Now you can safely run your project:

meteor run

Now get on your browser and go to: http://localhost:3000/graphql and give it a spin:

query {
  sayHello
}
