• Scalable GraphQL server: The server uses graphql-yoga which is based on Apollo Server & Express
• GraphQL database: Includes GraphQL database binding to Prisma (running on MySQL)
• Tooling: Out-of-the-box support for GraphQL Playground & query performance tracing
• Extensible: Simple and flexible data model – easy to adjust and extend
• No configuration overhead: Preconfigured graphql-config setup
• Realtime updates: Support for GraphQL subscriptions

You need to have the GraphQL CLI installed to bootstrap your GraphQL server using graphql create:

npm install -g graphql-cli

# 1. Clone repo: https://github.com/emily0604/reporting_system_server.git
git clone https://github.com/emily0604/reporting_system_server.git

# 2. Navigate to the new project
cd reporting_system_server

# 3. When prompted, deploy the Prisma service to a _public cluster_
prisma deploy

# 4. Start server (runs on http://localhost:4000) and open GraphQL Playground
yarn dev

• yarn start starts GraphQL server on http://localhost:4000
• yarn dev starts GraphQL server on http://localhost:4000 and opens GraphQL Playground
• yarn playground opens the GraphQL Playground for the projects from .graphqlconfig.yml
• yarn prisma <subcommand> gives access to local version of Prisma CLI (e.g. yarn prisma deploy)

Note: We recommend that you're using yarn dev during development as it will give you access to the GraphQL API or your server (defined by the application schema) as well as to the Prisma API directly (defined by the Prisma database schema). If you're starting the server with yarn start, you'll only be able to access the API of the application schema.
