It is currently being developed using mysql-prisma-apollo server-nexus, and it is necessary to receive row data post using the REST API, not the GrqphQL statement currently developed. You want to process raw data passed to the post in Path (for example,/api/data/status). Is there a way to create a RestAPI on the apollo-server?
The apollo-server runs in a node environment, so you are able to use any http client you want.
Example:
axios
node-fetch

I have created a collection in my Fauna database. I also made an index that returns all the data in that collection. I want to know if there is a way to get JSON REST API to work with this data. What I mean by this is I want a URL that I can 'GET' using XMLHttpRequest and then parse into JSON.
You might say that Fauna is "HTTP native". All of the language drivers (JS, C#, Python, etc.) are built on top of http requests. That is, there are no special connections or connection-pools to maintain. You can get pretty far with using the JS driver in the browser, for example, without using a server.
But to answer your question more directly, there are many ways to serve a REST API, and it is going to depend on how you want to serve the API.
Examples
AWS
Here is a blog post on how to set up a REST API with AWS App Runner, for example.

Vercel and Netlify
There are also some example apps on github that demonstrate using a REST API with
Vercel:

Or Netlify:

Both of which host serverless functions for you to create a REST API.
I'm not able to figure out why the REST API call works just fine in Postman but not in the GraphQL Playground. If I could see the actual REST call being made by GraphQL, would be helpful to debug the issue.
Firecamp's GraphQL client lets you test the GraphQL as an API call or as a Query way.
Here is the dedicated GraphQL client
Here is REST like GraphQL client
Note: Make sure that you double-check the method and headers while using REST-like GraphQL client. IN most cases method would be post and header should contains Content-Type: application-json / application/graphql
The GraphQL playground allows to send GraphQL queries/mutations to your GraphQL server. You can see the requests that are send using the network tab of a browser dev tools.
For example, if a server is in running at the following address http://localhost:4000/graphql, sending a query/mutation, a XHR request will be sent to it. In the Request Payload of the Headers section there is the query/mutation itself.
In the Response section you can see the returned response.
You can start having a look at the returned response of your query/mutation. Perhaps there is something wrong in the related resolve function in GraphQL.
Is it possible to trigger a file download in a browser from the GraphQL endpoint on an apollo-server-express application?
I have the endpoint written in a standard express app.get function (see below) but I would like to make use of the GraphQL context for file download and so I'm wondering if it's possible to cause a download from a GraphQL endpoint.
Here's a bare-bones example of what I have on the express end in the app.get function:
app.get('/download-batch/:batchId', async (req, res) => {
res.send(new Buffer('test'));
});
Any help would me much appreciated. Thanks!
Yes, but you would be required to create a custom endpoint for that. You can't use the existing endpoint which you are using for making requests.
Using the custom endpoint, you have to add a middleware and process the data into a buffer or whatever format you need. But it would not be recommended. That would again become one more endpoint instead which you can write an API to serve that.(After all graphql is built mainly on the focus of single endpoint).
BoĊĦtjan Cigan mentions here some solutions and gives details about using GraphQL as a proxy with Minio. The backend would ask Mino to generate a temporary link that can be sent back to the browser for direct access.
This is a valid solution for many use cases.
I have created a graphql server that send data to client and show results to react component using relay. If i want't to get data from different sources( different server or different DB) I have to change my resolve function and put there the code that get data with ajax for example?
Correct.
All you need to do is to resolve to the right source,
You can either return a value or a promise for a value.
So current javascript api for bigquery leverages RpcRequest for synchronous query api call. Currently I can submit a set of queries in one http round trip by using RpcBatch.
Is there plan to migrate to gapi.client.HttpRequest for bigquery requests in the future? gapi documentation indicates RpcBatch is deprecated and should use HttpBatch instead.
Thanks,
You should already be able to use HttpRequest and HttpBatch with BigQuery. All you need to do is to use the appropriate /bigquery/v2 REST URL to build your request with gapi.client.request.
