test backend from howtographql.com

Hackernews clone in graphql

A really small backend for a LABS session, created via the tutorial at howtographql.com.

Requirements

You'll need to have mongodb up and running locally at port 27017. If you've got a different setup you'll need to update GraphQLEndpoint to reflect your changes.

Running

first ya go mvn clean install

then ya go mvn jetty:run

Example Queries

Download GraphQL Playground to try and consume your backend! You'll need to point it at http://localhost:8080/graphql, then it'll download the schema for itself, and can help you with autocomplete.

First you'll need to create a user:

mutation {
  createUser(
    name: "Mario",
    auth: {
      email: "its_a_me@mario.com"
      password: "bowserSucks"
    }
  ) {
    id
    name
  }
}

Then you need to sign in:

mutation {
  signinUser(
    auth: {
      email: "its_a_me@mario.com",
      password: "bowserSucks"
    }
  ) {
    token
    user {
      id
      name
    }
  }
}

Use the token under "HTTP_HEADERS" in GraphQL Playground

{
    "Authorization": "Bearer replacemewiththetoken"
}

With this you're then ready to experiment with queries and mutations such as allLinks, createVote and createLink. You'll find information about the schema if you press the green "SCHEMA" button in GraphQL Playground. Hint: allLinks supports pagination!
