The Apollo CLI
The Apollo CLI provides useful us with commands for interacting with every component of the Apollo platform, including Apollo Client, Apollo Server, and Apollo Graph Manager.
Download and install
Just like every other NodeJS module, the Apollo CLI is available as an npm package.
Project-level installation (recommended)
If your project uses npm, we recommend installing the Apollo CLI locally by adding it to your project's devDependencies, using this command:
npm install -D Apollo
This helps ensure that all of your project's collaborators have the same version of the CLI installed.
Global installation
You can install the CLI globally in your development environment with the following command:
npm install -g Apollo
Supported commands
Most of the Apollo CLI's commands are in the following namespaces:
- client (such as apollo client:codegen) for interactions involving Apollo Client and Graph Manager
- service (such as apollo service:check) for interactions involving Apollo Server and Graph Manager
For a full list of commands in a particular namespace, use the apollo help command:
Note: In the commands below, omit npx from the example commands below if you installed the Apollo CLI globally in your PC.
$ npx apollo help client
Check a client project against a pushed service
