Pet Library API

Overview

The Pet Library is a real pet library checkout system for a fake pet library. The purpose of the Pet Library is to teach developers how to work with the GraphQL Query Language and how to send queries, mutations, and subscriptions to this API.

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository.

git clone https://github.com/moonhighway/pet-library.git
cd pet-library

2. Install the dependencies.

npm install

Or use yarn:

yarn

3. Set up Mongo locally.

This project will use Mongo as a database. If you aren't a user of Mongo already, you can install Mongo locally, or use mLab, a cloud-based version of Mongo, for this app.

For further installation instructions, check out these resources:

4. Add a .env file to the root of your project.

You will need to add variables for MONGODB_URI and SECRET.

  • MONGODB_URI is the route where your installation of Mongo is running. This usually runs at mongodb://localhost:27017/pet-library.
  • SECRET is just a text string (can be anything) so that the user auth works as expected:
MONGODB_URI=<YOUR_MONGO_URI_HERE>
SECRET=<YOUR_AUTH_SECRET_HERE>

Starting the Project - Dev Mode

Run the following command: npm run dev.
