Tutorial

This tutorial explains how Labkit helps build a full GraphQL server/client app without copying a whole application framework into every project.

The complete reference implementation is deployed here and lives in the typescript_monorepo_nestjs_relay_trunk repository.

What We Are Building​

The tutorial builds the architecture behind a real-time app:

  • NestJS GraphQL server;
  • React/Vite webapp;
  • Relay data layer;
  • memory access-token auth;
  • HttpOnly refresh cookie flow;
  • GraphQL websocket subscriptions;
  • TypeORM/PostgreSQL feature manifests;
  • app-owned UI and feature code over Labkit runtime packages.

The chapters focus on ownership. Labkit removes repeated runtime setup, but it does not remove app decisions.
