Potential solutions

Writing the query:

• casing matters
• use apollo devtools or the sandbox as source of truth to determine what the query needs to look like. this should match the query on the client side (index.tsx)

Setting up the Apollo Server and ensuring the data shows up:

• The resolvers and typeDefs objects must be camelCase

Client

• establishing the URI
• add

  const { url } = await server.listen({ port: 4000 })
  console.log(`this server is running at the following URL: ${url}`);

Tasks

• [x] install GraphQL packages
  • [x] Apollo Client
  • [x] Apollo Server - how you define the shape of your data and how to fetch it
