Tutorial & boilerplate setup

For this tutorial, the GraphQL backend and the basic app UI is already ready. Our task will be to convert the "static" UI into a working realtime app.

Clone and run the boilerplate

1. Clone the learn-graphql repo. Execute the following commands in your terminal:

Copy
# make sure git version is >= v2.26

git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse git@github.com:hasura/learn-graphql.git

cd learn-graphql

git sparse-checkout init --cone

git sparse-checkout add tutorials/frontend/angular-apollo/app-boilerplate

2. Navigate to the app-boilerplate directory.

Copy
cd tutorials/frontend/angular-apollo/app-boilerplate

3. Install dependencies and run the "static" app

   • npm install
   • npm start

4. Signup/login as a user to load the todo app page

This is what you should see after the steps above:

Load GraphiQL to play with your GraphQL APIs

1. Head to https://hasura.io/learn/graphql/graphiql
2. Log in (so that you can test the GraphQL APIs with a valid user token)

This is what you should see after the steps above:

GraphQL Endpoint

We are going to make use of https://hasura.io/learn/graphql endpoint for making our GraphQL requests in the tutorial.

Now, if you want to run your own version of the above GraphQL endpoint, you can do so by following the Hasura Backend tutorial

• Deploy Hasura Cloud

• Set up Hasura Backend

Head to Hasura Backend Tutorial and get started with creating your own version.
