Climbing Route Catalog API

What is this?

OpenBeta Graph API allows other applications to access the OpenBeta climbing database using any standard GraphQL clients.

Endpoint:

We recommend using an online playground to explore the API.

Example query

Get all sub-areas at Smith Rock

query Example1 {
  areas(filter: {area_name: {match: "Smith Rock"}}) {
    area_name
    children {
      area_name
      metadata {
        lat
        lng
      }
    }
  }
}

# Result
{
  "data": {
    "areas": [
      {
        "area_name": "Smith Rock",
        "children": [
          {
            "area_name": "Aggro Gully",
            "metadata": {

              "lng": -121.14238
            }
          },
          {

            "metadata": {
              "lat": 44.5672,
              "lng": -122.1269
            }
          },
       ...
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Development

Requirements:

  1. Add '127.0.0.1 mongodb' entry to your /etc/hosts file (or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows)
127.0.0.1       mongodb
  1. Launch mongodb dev stack: database server and mongo-express (web-based admin console for mongo):
docker compose up -d
  1. Seed your local database with data from staging environment
yarn install
yarn seed-db   # May take a few minutes to download a large database file
  1. Start the GraphQL server
yarn serve

Navigating the codebase

These links explain the structure and key abstractions of our codebase. It's a good place to start before you go spelunking in the code.

Troubleshooting

  • Fix "permissions on /opt/keyfile/keyfile are too open" error This error appears because the keyfile is required to be read-only

    chmod 400 keyfile
  • Fix "error opening file: /opt/keyfile/keyfile: bad file" error This may appear after you update the keyfile to read-only access. The file needs to be owned by the same owner of the mongodb process

    chown 999:999 keyfile

Tips

  • Browse the database: http://localhost:8081

  • GraphQL online playground: https://graphiql-online.com/

  • Bypassing auth when developing locally

    Start up your local server with yarn serve-dev (instead of yarn serve)

    # Run this in open-tacos project
    yarn serve-dev

    This allows the current user to run any Query or Mutation (irrespective of the current user’s UUID)

    (How it works: auth/middleware.ts and auth/permissions.ts are conditionally swapped out on server initialization (server.ts), based on whether the env var LOCAL_DEV_BYPASS_AUTH is set)

  • Full stack development

    Connect your frontend dev env to this local server

    # Run this in open-tacos project
    yarn dev-local
  • Make sure to include .js when importing other files:

    ...
    import { getClimbModel } from '../db/ClimbSchema.js'  // .js is required
    ...

    Why? See this issue for an explanation.
