This package is not maintained anymore

Please have a look at the integration available on the Apollo Server integrations community GitHub organization: https://github.com/apollo-server-integrations/apollo-server-integration-next

It supports additional features such as:

• Next.js app router
• Typescript

Existing users should be able to migrate by replacing the import in their Apollo handler.

This is an unofficial Next.js 12 integration for Apollo Server 4. It is early work and has not been extensively tested in production.

If you are using Apollo Server 3, please see notes below.

Apollo Server is a community-maintained open-source GraphQL server that works with many Node.js HTTP server frameworks. Read the docs.

Getting Started

This section assumes that you already have a running Next.js project.

npm install @apollo/server graphql apollo-server-nextjs@next

Create a file named pages/api/graphql.js, place the following code:

import { ApolloServer } from "@apollo/server";
import { nextHandler } from "apollo-server-nextjs";

// Construct a schema, using GraphQL schema language
const typeDefs = `#graphql
  type Query {
    hello: String
  }
`;

// Provide resolver functions for your schema fields
const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    hello: () => "Hello world!",
  },
};

const server = new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
});

export default nextHandler(server);

Then open http://localhost:3000/api/graphql

Apollo Server 3

This package was available for Apollo Server 3.

If you need support for Apollo Server 3, please use apollo-server-nextjs@legacy instead of apollo-server-nextjs when installing dependencies:

npm install apollo-server-nextjs@legacy graphql

Then, refer to past documentation.
