GraphQL Starter Kit
GraphQL Starter Kit Move beyond REST's over-fetching and under-fetching problems with a production-ready GraphQL server that's actually designed for scale. This kit gives you a fully structured schema with type-safe resolvers, N+1 query prevention via DataLoader, JWT authentication with field-level authorization, real-time subscriptions over WebSocket, and pagination patterns that work with real databases. Not a toy todo-app — a foundation for APIs that serve millions of queries. Key Features Schema-First Design — Complete SDL schema with custom scalars (DateTime, Email, URL), input validation directives, and interface/union types for polymorphic data DataLoader Integration — Batch and cache database lookups to eliminate N+1 queries, with per-request scoped loaders that prevent stale data across requests JWT Authentication Middleware — Token validation, role-based access control, and field-level @auth(requires: ADMIN) directives Subscription Support — WebSocket-based real-time updates
