Guide

Installing

npm install --save @pothos/core graphql-yoga

Set up typescript

Pothos is designed to be as type-safe as possible, to ensure everything works correctly, make sure that your tsconfig.json has strict mode set to true:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "strict": true
  }
}

Create a simple schema

import SchemaBuilder from '@pothos/core';
 
const builder = new SchemaBuilder({});
 
builder.queryType({
  fields: (t) => ({
    hello: t.string({
      args: {
        name: t.arg.string(),
      },
      resolve: (parent, { name }) => `hello, ${name || 'World'}`,
    }),
  }),
});
 
const schema = builder.toSchema();

Create a server

The schema generated by Pothos is a standard graphql.js schema and can be used with several graphql server implementations including graphql-yoga.

import { createYoga } from 'graphql-yoga';
import { createServer } from 'node:http';
 
const yoga = createYoga({
  schema: builder.toSchema(),
});
 
const server = createServer(yoga);
 
server.listen(3000);
