tRPC vs Apollo GraphQL

// server/trpc.ts
import { initTRPC } from '@trpc/server';
const t = initTRPC.create();

export const router = t.router;
export const publicProcedure = t.procedure;

// server/router.ts
import { z } from 'zod';
import { router, publicProcedure } from './trpc';

export const appRouter = router({
  greet: publicProcedure
    .input(z.object({ name: z.string() }))
    .query(({ input }) => ({ greeting: `Hello, ${input.name}!` })),
});

export type AppRouter = typeof appRouter;

// client
const greeting = await trpc.greet.query({ name: 'Alice' });
// TypeScript knows greeting.greeting is a string!

import { ApolloServer } from '@apollo/server';
import { startStandaloneServer } from '@apollo/server/standalone';

const typeDefs = `
  type Query {
    hello: String
    user(id: ID!): User
  }
  type User {
    id: ID!

const resolvers = {

    hello: () => 'Hello from Apollo!',
    user: async (_, { id }) => getUserById(id),
  },
};

const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers });
const { url } = await startStandaloneServer(server, { listen: { port: 4000 } });
console.log(`Server ready at: ${url}`);
