graphql VS Express

Let’s use the official documentation to follow the correct setup Documentation | NestJS - A progressive Node.js framework

Also use Express and Apollo, following Quick start.

This code demonstrates the centralized addition of a guard to a module, and by the way, NestJS v9 still doesn’t support this feature. In NestJS, adding a guard is supported only at the controller or method level, because the guard is not considered a provider.

To change your NestJS API into GraphQL, follow the GraphQL quickstart with NestJS and import the following code to your AppModule in src/app.module.ts.

Nest.js is an excellent alternative for GraphQL APIs building for Angular design and DDD lovers. Nest.js comes with:

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Now, we will create API using expressjs. When we created application using --ssr flag, the Angular CLI already took care of installing expressjs for us.

First, we import express. The Express framework allows us to create routes that will respond to webhook POST requests and serve an HTML file when a GET request is made to the root of the site.

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

Now we can install both Express and Socket.io libraries:
