sigh I was about to update a project with the nexus framework and I see that it's abandoned already 🤦 What's the recommended alternative to use with nexus schema? I'm assuming it's graphql-yoga

nexus schema plays well with Apollo server. That's my go-to.

back full circle eh? apollo server, yoga, yoga2, nexus, apollo server

There’s an example that I have created with apollo-server2 https://github.com/ryands17/nexus-auth This one is with TS.

Nexus/schema is very simple to use. It fits well with apollo-server. graphql-yoga is very old and not maintained (?) you should use apollo-server directly (yoga use apollo under the hood). If you need a boilerplate here is one : https://github.com/prisma/prisma-examples/tree/latest/typescript/graphql-apollo-server

I use

express-graphql

as it is morelightweight and flexible and allows you to validate query complexity. You have to add things like

graphql-playground

or custom errors and formatting yourself, but that is quite straightforward.

Tnx for the suggestions but I'm looking for a tool, not a boilerplate. And I don't want to build one myself, that's never maintainable in the long run. Graphpack is a great abstraction on top of apollo-server, but it's not maintained.

Hot reload with ts-node-dev works great

I use

ts-node-dev

as well

few great tools are always well support than a “silver bullet” in the long term 🙂
