Meteor + Apollo Tutorials & Other Useful Resources

[methodx]

June is going to be the month I start migrating over to Apollo. Apollo 1.0 is almost ready and so is Meteor 1.5. To me, it seems like the perfect time to make the switch. Or, at least it would be if it weren’t for the fact there is currently very little information on how to make that switch. Nevertheless, I’ve managed to piece together some tutorials and examples on Meteor + Apollo integration.

If you have an addition, please post it as a reply.

Tutorials

• The Official Meteor + Apollo Guide
• Should You Make The Switch? Using Apollo Inside Your Meteor App
• Using Meteor Accounts with Apollo and React (Part 1 & 2)
• Create A Simple ‘Hello World’ App With Meteor + Apollo + MySQL
• Queries And Mutations With Meteor-Apollo
• An Introduction to the Apollo Stack for the Uninitiated
• Hack Notes: GraphQL and Apollo

Examples

• Official Meteor + Apollo Boilerplate
• VulcanJS (Meteor + React + Apollo)
• [DeligenceTechnologies (Meteor + React + Apollo + MongoDB + MySQL)] (https://github.com/DeligenceTechnologies/Meteor-Apollo-with-MongoDB-MySQL)
• GraphQL Subscriptions In Simplest Form
• Simple Messaging Application Built On Apollo & Meteor Using GraphQL Subscriptions

Miscellaneous

• Stack Overflow [Meteor] + [Apollo] Tags
• Learn Apollo (not Meteor related)
• Let’s Learn GraphQL (not Meteor related)
• GraphQL Subscriptions In Apollo Client
• GraphQL & React Tutorial (Part 1 2 3 4 5 6)

Very interesting and useful. Can moderators make this a sticky item, until newbies like me can get some practice?

Thanks

Ah yes, how could I forget An Introduction to the Apollo Stack for the Uninitiated; literally the first thing I read on the subject.

Thank you Anthony, but the libraries used are pretty outdated, it is no longer useful now.

We are also in middle of migrating our stack to GraphQL. I stumble on a resource not listed here that I found useful

• create-graphql-server instantly scaffold a GraphQL server

Even though I’m not using it myself because we’ve come a long way already with the backend, I find this tool and article useful and would use it in my next project.
