Tutorials

If you want to work with GraphQL

npm install --save apollo-boost react-apollo graphql graphql-tag

or

yarn add apollo-boost react-apollo graphql graphql-tag

in your root app file (App.js or Root.js)

import ApolloClient from "apollo-boost";
import { ApolloProvider } from "react-apollo";

const client = new ApolloClient({
  uri: "GRAPHQL_API_ENDPOINT" // example: https://api.github.com/graphql
});

function App() {
  return (
    <ApolloProvider client={client}>
      <MyAwesomeApp />
    </ApolloProvider>
  );
}

If you want to use the Github GraphQL API, you need to create a token and add it as a header to every request like this:

const client = new ApolloClient({
  uri: "https://api.github.com/graphql",
  headers: {
    Authorization: "bearer YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN"
  }
});

you can see all the configuration options here: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/essentials/get-started.html#configuration

Happy Coding! :)
