Apollo Server GraphQL Resolvers for Beginners

In this video I show the basic setup of an Apollo Server resolver, explaining how the entire process works from type definitions to the resolvers themselves. This is a great video for anyone confused by the Apollo Server documentation and wants to see a practical example of resolvers in action!

Great introduction. Thank you. What about when you want to combine multiple data sources?

been looking for a great break down of resolvers for a few days now, this is by far the best. Curious tho, a resolver for each and every type/query seems very antithetical to DRY practices. Could you not just have 1 resolver that resolves based on the query parameters? Or is their segmentation more beneficial in the sense of separating concerns?

Great video, not sure why I didn't see this before on your channel. I noticed you mentioned going over resolver chains but you didn't cover it, is that in a different video?

Nice video! Question… i realize it’s just a name but why name a query with a verb that sounds like a mutation? That’s confusing.
