This codebase services requests from our React Native health tracking app. It handles queries to the MongoDB databse, performs logic checks to ensure data integrity, and facilitates the password reset feature of the app.
- Supports all GraphQL queries to the database
- Enforces the data models stored in the MongoDB database
- Emails users to facilitate the in-app password reset sequence
This project was created and run in IntelliJ Idea, so it is the reccomended (although not required) IDE to run the application.
- When using IntelliJ Idea, all dependancies will be recognized from the Gradle files and downloaded automatically.
- One file which must be configured to enable the emailing functionality is the
email.config.jsonfile. All properties in the template JSON file must be properly configured to allow the application to email users. If it is not configured, the rest of the application will run properly, but an error will be thrown if a user requests a password reset code.- The following fields must be set:
name: The name of the sender which will appear when the user receives an emailemail: The email address being used to send the password recovery emailspassword: password to aforementioned accounthost: SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) hostname of the email serviceport: SMTP port of the email service- For more information about SMTP for your particular mail service, Google
~you_mail_service~ SMTP settings; Also refer to the Simple Java Mail configuration page
