40 // ENSURE APPSIGNAL IS THE FIRST THING TO BE REQUIRED/IMPORTED
// INTO YOUR APP!
const { Appsignal } = require("@appsignal/nodejs");
const { createApolloPlugin } = require("@appsignal/apollo-server");

// You can also use one of the apollo-server integrations here,
// e.g. `apollo-server-<integration>`. Note that you will also need to require
// the AppSignal integration seperately.
const { ApolloServer } = require("apollo-server");

const appsignal = new Appsignal({
  active: true,
  name: "<YOUR APPLICATION NAME>",
  apiKey: "<YOUR API KEY>",
});

// The GraphQL schema
const typeDefs = gql`
  type Query {
    "A simple type for getting started!"
    hello: String
  }
`;

// A map of functions which return data for the schema.
const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    hello: () => "world",
  },
};

const server = new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  plugins: [createApolloPlugin(appsignal)],
});

server.listen().then(({ url }) => {
  console.log(`🚀 Server ready at ${url}`);
});

NOTE: You must define an operation name for your query to get an action name in the Performance view of AppSignal.com. For example, query FetchData {} would get the action name FetchData on AppSignal.com. If no operation name is set, the query will be grouped under the action name [unknown graphql query].

Features

The integration will send the following instrumentation data to AppSignal:

✅ Query duration
✅ GraphQL query bodies
✅ Errors
