GraphQL with NextJS - Build a Fullstack App From Scratch

Learn GraphQL and Next.js by building a full-stack application with NodeJS, Express, Apollo Server, Apollo Client.

This full-stack course focuses on developing backend APIs with GraphQL and connecting them to client web applications built with NextJS. It follows a hands-on, 'learn-by-doing' approach, with the entire course structured around building a full-stack web application. Concepts will be thoroughly explained as they are introduced.

In this course, you'll learn to utilize GraphQL on both the server side and in client applications with practical examples featuring full-stack Typescript application. You'll be introduced to key GraphQL concepts, including schema definition, Queries, Mutations, and Subscriptions, as well as solutions to common requirements like handling authentication/authorization and client-side caching.

In this course, we will cover and utilize key concepts of Next.js. You will learn how to connect a Next.js client application to a GraphQL server using the Apollo ecosystem.

This course will cover:

• GraphQL concepts like schemas and resolvers.

• Creating and using GraphQL types, queries, mutations and subscriptions.

• Use Apollo GraphQL ecosystem on both server and client.

• Creating NextJS projects from the ground up & understanding these projects.

• Working with file-based routing in NextJS.

• Adding dynamic routes and catch-all routes in NextJS.

• TailwindCSS support for styling components.

• Deployment of NextJS client application and GraphQL server.

By the end of this course, you will be capable of building a robust API with GraphQL, connecting it to a client application created with NextJS or another framework, and deploying your applications.
