First Steps

WunderGraph allows you to build secure and performant on-demand APIs using a GitOps first approach.

Prerequisites

Your main tool to work with WunderGraph is "wunderctl". You can install it via npm/yarn.

npm install -g @wundergraph/wunderctl

or

yarn global add @wundergraph/wunderctl

Once you have installed wunderctl, you can initialize a new project.

You can find in-depth docs about wunderctl

Initialize a new Project

# from your project root

wunderctl init

File written: .wundergraph/package.json

File written: .wundergraph/tsconfig.json

File written: .wundergraph/wundergraph.config.ts

Next, cd into the .wundergraph directory, install the dependencies and start the dev environment.

Start your local dev environment

cd .wundergraph

yarn # or npm i

yarn develop # or npm run develop

You're now ready to start developing. Read on to learn more about configuring your first WunderGraph application

Once everything is configured to your desires, you're ready to start a local instance of WunderGraph.
