Vote Challenge

Empowering the people to choose their own host. 🇺🇸👨‍👨‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🇺🇸

In this activity, you'll work on adding subscription support to the Election GraphQL API.

Project Setup

1. Run npm install at the root of the project which will install all dependencies for the api and the client.
2. Run npm start which will start the API project.
3. Open localhost:4000 to find the Playground.
4. Open localhost:4000/results to see the Client project running.
5. With the Playground, send a test mutation to the API to vote for one of the hosts:

mutation {
  vote(host: ALEX)
}

6. Refresh localhost:4000/results to see the vote registered in the graph.

FAQ

Q: Can we live in a world where this app needs to be refreshed every time there is a change?

A: No, we cannot. We need to enable GraphQL Subscriptions for the server.

Instructions

The Client is already set up for subscriptions. All changes should be made to the API.

1. Add a Subscription to the schema that will watch for a change in the Results type.
2. Set up the server to handle subscriptions.
3. Adjust the resolvers to handle that subscription.
