Let’s build an Apollo GraphQL Server with TypeScript and Webpack HMR!
Prerequisites 🕺
- Node.js with NPM installed on your computer. At the time of writing, Node.js version 6 or above is required by Apollo Server.
- Preferably basic understanding of the fundamental GraphQL principles.
- Preferably general knowledge with TypeScript. That being said, general JavaScript knowledge should be sufficient to understand the topics covered in this post. I will try my best to explain when it comes to TypeScript-specific concepts.
