The purpose of this starter kit is not to be complete solution, but introduction for creating high performance websites with Next.js, React and GraphQL. We use this repository for new projects at Atheros Intelligence and as the repository for our articles at GraphQL Mastery

• Clone the repository with git clone [email protected]:atherosai/react-next-apollo-graphql.git
• To preserve secure dependencies in package-lock.json use npm ci to install packages

Even though that the starter kit should work with older Node versions, I would suggest to use latest Node LTS version. In package.json we require npm and node version to be higher.

 "engines": {
    "node": ">=10.0.0",
    "npm": ">6"
  },

• Next.js
• React
• GraphQL (Apollo server)
• Apollo client
• Node.js

The solution for environment variables is built using dotnev library and two environment variables. Well known NODE_ENV variable can be set as development or production and our CUSTOM_ENV, which defines the environment. This can be your staging, production, local environment or even your build server. These two variables define the name of .env file in /secrets folder that will be used. If we would like to for example define the config for our staging environment we would create the file called /secrets/production-staging.env and place all the environment variables there. The example for such a file can be for example the following that we can use for development

NODE_ENV=development
CUSTOM_ENV=local
PORT=3000
API_URL=http:https://localhost:3000/graphql
HOST=http:https://localhost:3000

You can run security audit on dependencies with. Be sure that you use package-lock.json in our repository.

npm audit
