REST API centered around pokemon to help get me familiar with GraphQL, very much a work in progress

Once downloaded open up a terminal to directory of project and type

npm start

In a seperate terminal type in the following to start mongo server

mongod

Once done, go to your browser and type in

http://localhost:3000/graphql

As of right now there are only two types of operations you can run

type Query { allPokemon: [Pokemon] } which returns all pokemon in database

type Mutation { createPokemon(input: PokemonInput) : Pokemon }

Which allows you to create a pokemon in the database using a PokemonInput as the input

A pokemon input is defined as followed

input PokemonInput{ name:String! pokedexNumber: Int! eggGroup: [String!]! }

Planning to add more operations

• MongoDB - Used for database functionality
• Express - Used for creating API, more specfically handling request endpoints
• Mongoose - Used for object modeling on our MongoDB data
• GraphQL - Query language for our API that allows us to fetch exactly what we need, more specfically no under/over fecthing of data. Also has a really cool Type system that lets us structure how we want our datat to be formatted
