Provides a working API for a Netflix like interface demonstration
git remote add upstream git@github.com:lancegliser/node-express-apollo-graphql.gitOnce server is running (npm run-script dev:watch)
You may load and interact with data through the
playground.
You'll need to install Postgres. A simple docker-compose.yaml[./docker-compose.yaml] file
includes a instance and admin.
docker compose up -dThis will create the postgres DB as well as a browser interface (pgadmin) where you can view and maintain your data.
Go to http://127.0.0.1:15432 and log in with the credentials:
username: user@example.com password: postgres
You will need to connect the pgadmin tool to your running instance by clicking Add New Server
(you're actually creating a connection to your existing server).
Under the General tab:
name: db
Under the Connection tab:
hostname: 10.5.0.4
user: postgres
password: postgres
Use 0.0.0.0:5432 to connect using a client inside a codebase, or from your terminal with psql
commands.
This API works from a GraphQL first approach.
Each component you wish to write starts with a .graphql file.
The types in it will cause typescript code to be generated
by running the following command:
npm run graphql-codegen
The generated classes are created at:
src/generated/types.ts
You can import those types in your own resolver, providing you strong contracts and stub implementations.
Integration tests are run using Jest to create an instance of the API on a random port using Node. Testing supplies its own user context.
Jest can use a local .env file for process environment variables.
