GraphQL PWA Workshop

This repo was created for a workshop of how to create an Universal Application with Nodejs + Reactjs and connect our UI to a GraphQL API Server running in parallel with Apollo, using modern tools such as Material-UI@Next, Webpack, Babel and PostCSS.

/api directory

GraphQL API Server based on graphql-yoga.

/web features

Progressive Web Application built with nodejs/express, reactjs, graphql, apollo-server (server-side-rendering) and apollo-client for connet the UI with our GraphQ server. I decide use material-ui@next for UI design.

Requirements

• Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux
• Node.js v9.0 or newer
• Text editor or IDE pre-configured with React/JSX/ESlint
