How to connect a database on the server side?

[GeoffreyPlitt]

I looked through the documentation and it isn't clear to me-- how do you add a real database to the server side, such as ReThinkDB?

@GeoffreyPlitt what technology at the backend do you use?

NodeJS

Don't be lazy and google up the answers for, say "nodejs graphql sql backend" and "graphql schema resolve method". These two have pretty much info and are actually what you are looking for. There's no silver bullet just read all the docs and examples over and over again.

Thanks for your question. We're trying to keep GitHub issues focused on bugs and enhancements to keep signal high for contributors. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow and tagging it with '#relayjs'.

As others have mentioned, there are lots of great resources online that answer your question. A few suggestions:

• @steveluscher's Zero to GraphQL in 30 minutes talk is a must-watch.
• There's also an accompanying zero-to-graph repo.
• And there's an overview of lots of tools at awesome-graphql.
