Building a GraphQL Schema (with data from a REST API)

2020-03-27T00:00:00.000Z

I decided to build out a dashboard to track information related to the Codiv-19 panic using GraphQL and React. I used the NovelCOVID API (github.com/NovelCOVID/API) as my datasource. I’ve been using Apollo to build both ends of the app with thier Client and Server packages. Apollo provides a set of hooks and components that take care of most of the data handling and prodive a nice platform for connecting a react client to a GraphQL backend.
