How to install and run the project

To install and start the app run following commands.

npm install
npm start

Visit http://localhost:4000. You will see the Apollo playground. To have access to the authenticated fields currentUser, currentUser.role and currentUser.message you need to set one of the tokens inside api/User.js to the headers. This can be done in the playground bottom left.

{
  "authorization": "token-for-maurice-moss"
}

You can now run following query.

{
  currentUser {
    id
    firstName
    lastName
    role
    message(id: "2") {
      senderId
      receiverId
      text
    }
  }
}
