Boilerplate

This is a boilerplate for my favorite stack at the moment. Technologies include Node, Express, Graphql/Apollo, Sequelize, Knex (for migrations and seed data), Cloudinary (for image hosting/editing), sendgrid (for transactional emails), Mapbox (Maps library), Material-UI (component library), passport (for local authentication), and webpack/babel for compiling. This boilerplate gives you the basic framework for a web-app with user login, transactional emails, protected urls, and a graphql api for your database.

Getting Started

Create your local database:

createdb [database name] -U [username] --password -p 5432

Create pg session table to store sessions

CREATE TABLE "session" ( "sid" varchar NOT NULL COLLATE "default", "sess" json NOT NULL, "expire" timestamp(6) NOT NULL ) WITH (OIDS=FALSE); ALTER TABLE "session" ADD CONSTRAINT "session_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("sid") NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE;

Set your environmental variables:

HOST : server host PORT : server port PGDATABASE : database host DATABASE_URL : postgres database url PGPORT : database port PGUSER : database user PGPASSWORD : database password MapboxAccessToken : Mapbox API token SENDGRID_API_KEY : sendgrid API key ACCOUNT_INFO_EMAIL : sender for transactional emails ACCOUNT_INFO_NAME : sender for transactional emails (display name) CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME : cloudinary name CLOUDINARY_API_KEY : cloudinary api key CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET : cloudinary api secret
