Apollo Server Testing Example

Testing Apollo Server with Typescript
A way to test GraphQL endpoints of an Apollo Server with a RESTDataSource in Typescript.

Set up

• Install dependencies npm install

Run checks

• Run typecheck, lint and tests with npm run precommit

Notes:

• Prettier is included in the vscode settings but excluded from linting. I decided to do this so the editor doesn't get spammed with formatting errors.
• Tests don't include a typecheck. I decided to do this because it's annoying in watch mode.

Run locally

This is out of scope for this exercise. For it to work you would need to start a server with a REST API with a /movies endpoint at http://localhost:5200/. Then you can start this server with npm start.
