Error in graphql in Express , node js

Question

I'm trying to run graphql server in express. But it throws following error.

var graphqlHTTP = require('express-graphql'); // express graphql
var { buildSchema } = require('graphql');  // graphql
var schema=buildSchema(
    type Query {
        name:String});

var classifyRoot={
     name:()=>{
        classified.find({name:"shoes"},function(err,classified){
            //res.render("card",{classifieds:classifieds});
            return classified.name;
        });
    },};
app.use('/graphql', graphqlHTTP({
  schema: schema,
  rootValue: classifyRoot,
  graphiql: true,
}));

I think you need to provide more of the code, there's nothing to work with from just the error — Matt Fletcher, Dec 17 '17 at 13:40
So which line is the error on? It is almost definitely just a typo somewhere — Matt Fletcher, Dec 17 '17 at 13:55

The argument for buildSchema should be string. (Notice the back-ticks)

var schema=buildSchema(`
    type Query {
        name:String
    }
`);

Its missing the = !

To use types you need to do this:

type Query = {
  //Variables and types goes here:
  //ex:  username: string
}

Hope i have helped

This is actually untrue, if you just take a look at the GraphQL docs http://graphql.org/learn/schema/ – Matt Fletcher Dec 17 '17 at 13:53
