> git clone git@github.com:codebuddies/serverless-concept.git
> cd serverless-concept
> npm install
> ntl dev ## this will run your server locally

Running GraphQL queries

We will use the handly GraphQL playground app to test/run queries against our GraphQL API. Go ahead and download and install it on your local machine.

Enter the following url: http://localhost:8888/.netlify/functions/graphql in GraphQL playground.

Example queries

GetAllResources:

{
  resources {
    id
    title
    description
    credit
    url
  }
}

GetResourceById:

{
  resource(id: 1) {
    id
    title
    description
    url
    credit
  }
}
