Hello route was missing and how I solved

[ssabat]

Hi Alexander,

I cloned this git repo and tried to run the app. I was following your article at https://levelup.gitconnected.com/setting-up-graphql-api-with-mongodb-and-apollo-server-for-a-nextjs-app-cec7a9baedbf

I could not get to http://localhost:3000/api/hello because hello.js was missing under ../pages/api folder.
So, I created hello.js page. Then, I found that I have to pass a query string called sayHello.
I did that as well. Now, I can get correct result at

http://localhost:3000/api/hello?{query=sayHello} as

{"data":{"sayHello":"Hello World!"}}

hello.js code I used is as follows:

`import { ApolloServer, gql } from 'apollo-server-micro'

const typeDefs = gqltype Query { sayHello: String }

const resolvers = {
Query: {
sayHello(parent, args, context) {
return 'Hello World!'
},
},
}

export const config = {
api: {
bodyParser: false,
},
}

const apolloServer = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers })
export default apolloServer.createHandler({ path: '/api/hello' })`

I thought I would share my findings with you so that you can commit the changes if you want to make this article in sync with git repo. One minor typo - Vie should read as Via in the paragraph titled Configuring .env variables.

Thanks,

Sunil

Hi Sunil @ssabat,

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing and your contribution 👍 I think you're right something is off there, glad that you found a way to solve it. I'll revisit it when I'll have time. The typo should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out! 🙂
