create-graphql-server

CGS is a nifty command-line tool that lets you generate a GraphQL server with only a few commands. It makes use of the IDL schema definition language to add GraphQL types to your schema. The generated server is backed by MongoDB and NodeJS, making great use of the fact that GraphQL is agnostic to specific technologies. What a great tool!
