Let's begin by installing the Fauna JavaScript driver inside our project so that we can use it inside our first resolver:

npm install fauna graphql

Now create the file grafbase/resolvers/create.ts.

We'll complete this inside the next step but for now, we can import Fauna and initialize a new client:

import { Client, fql, FaunaError } from "fauna";

const client = new Client();

💡

Fauna automatically detects the environment variable FAUNA_SECRET. If you name it something else, you'll need to pass it to Client().

That's it!
