We created a free course to create your first GraphQL server (from scratch) using Node and TypeScript. TypeScript and GraphQL are a powerful combo, but there's a lot of confusing edges if you're getting it setup the first time.

In this course we cover the basics of getting TypeScript setup with Node, how GraphQL works, and how to set up a GraphQL server using Apollo server. It's two hours long, it comes with complete code examples, and we walk through the code step-by-step.

It's taught by my friend, Shopify-engineer Hassan Djirdeh and he's integrated what he's learned using GraphQL in production as an engineer at Shopify. We've already had over 1,300 students enroll and it's been getting great reviews so far.

Complete Guide to Qwik

For instance, to expose RESTful APIs or GraphQL APIs, the middleware server that Qwik City provides can be utilized. This feature proves beneficial for centralizing authentication, security, logging, and many other logics. Middleware comprises a set of functions that are called in a specific order. If the 

 has a default export component, then the HTTP request will return the component. When visiting a specific route of the application, since the default component is exported, this is returned and displays the requested page as if it were the last step of the chain.

 middleware function that logs all requests because 

export const onRequest: RequestHandler = async ({
  next,
  url,
}) => {
  console.log("Before request", url);
  await next();
  console.log("After request", url);
};

To intercept a specific HTTP method, one of these variations can be used. If both 

 are used, for example, both will execute, but 

// Called only with a specific HTTP method
export const onGet: RequestHandler = async (requestEvent) => { ... }
export const onPost: RequestHandler = async (requestEvent) => { ... }
export const onPut: RequestHandler = async (requestEvent) => { ... }
export const onPatch: RequestHandler = async (requestEvent) => { ... }
export const onDelete: RequestHandler = async (requestEvent) => { ... }

Creating a rest API that returns a JSON based on some backend logic is straightforward. The 

 method can be called. The json() method will automatically set the Content-Type header to 

export const onGet: RequestHandler = async ({ json }) => {
    /// your backend logic (e.g., read from the Database)
  json(200, <your_response_object_here>);
};

 method is taken from the parameters, but there are many other parameters that can be used. The most useful and interesting ones that will also be used in the subsequent chapters are listed below.

# Middleware

For instance, to expose RESTful APIs or GraphQL APIs, the middleware server that Qwik City provides can be utilized. This feature proves beneficial for centralizing authentication, security, logging, and many other logics. Middleware comprises a set of functions that are called in a specific order. If the `index.tsx` has a default export component, then the HTTP request will return the component. When visiting a specific route of the application, since the default component is exported, this is returned and displays the requested page as if it were the last step of the chain.

This example shows a simple `onRequest` middleware function that logs all requests because `onRequest` intercepts all HTTP methods.

File: `src/routes/layout.tsx`

```typescript
export const onRequest: RequestHandler = async ({
  next,
  url,
}) => {
  console.log("Before request", url);
  await next();
  console.log("After request", url);
};
```

To intercept a specific HTTP method, one of these variations can be used. If both `onRequest` and `onGet` are used, for example, both will execute, but `onRequest` will execute before `onGet` in the chain.

```typescript
// Called only with a specific HTTP method
export const onGet: RequestHandler = async (requestEvent) => { ... }
export const onPost: RequestHandler = async (requestEvent) => { ... }
export const onPut: RequestHandler = async (requestEvent) => { ... }
export const onPatch: RequestHandler = async (requestEvent) => { ... }
export const onDelete: RequestHandler = async (requestEvent) => { ... }
```

Creating a rest API that returns a JSON based on some backend logic is straightforward. The `json(status, object)` method can be called. The json() method will automatically set the Content-Type header to `application/json; charset=utf-8` and JSON stringify the data.

```typescript
export const onGet: RequestHandler = async ({ json }) => {
    /// your backend logic (e.g., read from the Database)
  json(200, <your_response_object_here>);
};
```
