I've been working on a project lately, which has node.js + express + typescript + Apollo server stack. And while researching on Apollo client, I've stumbled upon TypeScript section. But nothing like that was for server, which leaves me to freedom of choice in this case.

So the question is: are there any best practices on implementing Apollo graphql server with typescript or what should I avoid at least?

I wrote a small library and a CLI for this. It generates TypeScript typings for both server (according to your schema) and client (according to your schema and GraphQL documents). It also generates resolvers signature and very customizable.

You can try it here: https://github.com/dotansimha/graphql-code-generator

The idea behind it was to allow the developer to get the most out of GraphQL and the generated typings, and making it easier to customize the generated output.
