Zero to GraphQL Server Generator (Inactive)

This README is GPT generated lmao

Overview

This project provides a simple yet powerful tool to generate GraphQL servers from user-provided schema definitions. It leverages Docker to containerize each GraphQL server instance and configures routing dynamically using Nginx. The current setup is designed to run on a single VM.

How It Works

  1. GraphQL Schema Submission: Users submit their GraphQL schema definitions through a POST request to the /create-api endpoint.
  2. Server Generation: The submitted schema is saved as a .graphql file, and a Docker container is spun up to host the GraphQL server using the provided schema.
  3. Dynamic Routing: An Nginx configuration is dynamically updated to route requests to the new server instance. Each server is given a unique subdomain under zerotogql.com.
  4. Server Access: Users are provided with a unique URL to access their newly created GraphQL API.

Setup

To get started with this setup on a VM, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:

  • Node.js
  • Docker
  • Nginx

Clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone <repository-url>
cd <repository-directory>
npm install
npm start

Usage

To create a new GraphQL server, send a POST request to /create-api with the GraphQL schema in the request body:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/create-api -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"schema": "type Query { hello: String }"}'

You will receive a response with the URL to access your GraphQL server:

{
  "message": "API Created!",
  "url": "https://unique-subdomain.zerotogql.com"
}

Should probably update to have a serverless apporoach instead of running on a single VM
