TypeScript and GraphQL Example

One of the strengths of GraphQL is enforcing data types on runtime. Further, TypeScript and GraphQL Code Generator (graphql-codegen) make it safer by typing data statically, so you can write truly type-protected code with rich IDE assists.

This template gives you the best start to use GraphQL with fully typed queries (client-side) and resolvers (server-side), all this with minimum bundle size 📦

tsx

import { useQuery } from "@apollo/client";
import { ViewerDocument } from "lib/graphql-operations";

const News = () => {
  // Typed already️⚡️
  const {
    data: { viewer },
  } = useQuery(ViewerDocument);

  return <div>{viewer.name}</div>;
};

Deploy your own

How to use

bash

npx create-next-app --example with-typescript-graphql with-typescript-graphql-app

bash

yarn create next-app --example with-typescript-graphql with-typescript-graphql-app

bash

pnpm create next-app --example with-typescript-graphql with-typescript-graphql-app
