GraphiQL App

TL;DR: With a Reaction App running using docker-compose, open the Local Storage panel in your browser dev tools and copy the value of Meteor.loginToken into the Header value field.

1. Follow the instructions to install the GraphiQL app.
2. Launch the app
3. Click the button labeled Edit HTTP Headers
4. Click + Add Header
5. For Header name enter meteor-login-token
6. For Header value you'll need your Meteor.loginToken from the Getting Started guide.
7. Make your first query by setting GraphQL Endpoint to http://localhost:3030/graphql-alpha and querying for the viewer's name:

{
  viewer {
    name
  }
}
