Creating a Node.js GraphQL server using Prisma 2

The article provides a comprehensive guide to building a basic GraphQL server using Prisma, an open-source database toolkit that simplifies database access with an auto-generated query builder for TypeScript and Node.js. It details the setup process, including installing Prisma, creating a folder structure for the server, and defining data models in a schema file. The server is designed to manage users, polls, and voting processes, utilizing Prisma's capabilities to handle database interactions. The guide explains creating a GraphQL server with graphql-yoga, setting up type definitions and resolvers, and using Prisma Client to interact with the database. It also covers implementing queries and mutations for creating users, polls, and votes, alongside retrieving data. While authentication and validation checks are not implemented in this basic setup, the article suggests using resolver directives for such purposes in more complex applications. It emphasizes the advantages of using Prisma for rapid development and its role as a valuable tool in software projects, while also noting potential limitations with generated queries. The article concludes with an invitation for feedback and further exploration of Prisma's capabilities through its documentation.
