    ☁ Universal GraphQL HTTP middleware for Deno (by deno-libs)

  • In this post I would like to show how to build a GraphQL API server with gql. At the moment there are a few GraphQL server modules for Deno, such as obsidian and oak_graphql but all of them are either standalone or framework-specific. gql instead, is a framework-agnostic middleware so I will use it with Deno std's net/http.
