Section 1: Building the Stack

Each journey starts with a first step. Our first step will be to take a look at how to get the basic setup with Node.js, React, MySQL, and GraphQL running. Knowing how to build such a setup yourself and how the different technologies work together is very important to understand more advanced topics later in the book.

In this section, there are the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Preparing Your Development Environment
  • Chapter 2, Setting Up GraphQL with Express.js
  • Chapter 3, Connecting to the Database
