GraphQLError: Query root type must be provided

I'm using NestJS, TypeORM and GraphQL for my backend API. I'm getting the following error:

GraphQLError [Object]: Query root type must be provided.

This is what my file structure and code looks like: enter image description here

Can someone please help me. My repo: https://github.com/wise-introvert/nestjs-graphql-api.git

Solution

  • All servers running with GraphQL must have at least one @Query() to be considered a valid GraphQL server. Without it, the apollo-server package will throw an exception and the server will fail to start. This can be as simple as

    @Resolver()
export class FooResolver {

  @Query(() => String)
  sayHello(): string {
    return 'Hello World!';
  }
}
