graphql query is embedded inside req.body





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

So I'm trying to move from REST to GraphQL but there's a minor thing that makes it a little bit harder is that queries e.g.



www.example.com?test=test the query: { test: "test" } is actually under body: { query: { test: "test" } } in GraphQL. So I was wondering if there was some middleware or something that could move this back out.



I'm using body-parser via



var bodyParser =
require("body-parser")
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
extended: true
}))

          Unless there's a specific reason you want to validate and execute the GraphQL document yourself, you should probably use an existing library for that. Two of the more popular solutions for express:



          //express-graphql
          const graphqlHTTP = require('express-graphql');
          const { makeExecutableSchema } = require('graphql-tools');

          const schema = makeExecutableSchema({
          typeDefs,
          resolvers,
          });

          app.use('/graphql', graphqlHTTP({
          schema,
          graphiql: true,
          }));

          app.listen(4000);

          // apollo-server-express
          const express = require('express');
          const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server-express');

          const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers });

          server.applyMiddleware({ app });

          app.listen(4000);


          You can also just use apollo-server, which runs apollo-server-express under the hood.



          const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server');

          // pass in a schema
          const server = new ApolloServer({
          schema
          });

          // or let Apollo make it for you
          const server = new ApolloServer({
          typeDefs,
          resolvers,
          });

          server.listen()


          None of these solutions require you to include body-parser and provide a ton of extra features out-of-the-box.

          • I've kind of rethought how to perform the resolvers. Because since I'm using express and was using REST, I was basically passing everything via (req, res) but having thought about it for a while, I should really do preliminary validation via another function, which then calls another function to actually execute read/writes onto my mongo db.
