Development

Setup postgres Volume

1. Create volume for PostgreSQL database

docker volume create --name postgres_data0 -d local

Start

0. Setup env files.

They should be in config folder, where you can find .env templates for them.

1. Install dependencies

npm install

2. Start DB containers

npm run db:up

3. Generate Prisma Types

npm run db:generate

4. Push PostgreSQL Schema

npm run db:push

5. Start the application

npm run start:dev

Apollo driver for GraphQL

Project is using Apollo driver for managing GraphQL, so by default - there's avalaible http://localhost:3000/graphql request, which is accessible from browser, where you can use GraphQL with auto-generated schemas, docs and write queries and mutations with autocomplete feature.

Tests

For unit tests there's Jest module, that will look for *.spec.ts files.

To run tests just exec:

npm run test

Also, we can have set up E2E testing. With npm run db:up we already started a testing database, that will be used as a clean e2e environment. All e2e tests are located in tests/e2e folder, and should be specified in base.e2e-spec.ts as followed:

// base.e2e-spec.ts
describe('YourResolver (e2e)', yourTests.bind(null, ctx));

// tests/e2e/modules/yourModule/your.resolver.e2e.ts
import BaseContext from '@tests/e2e/context/base-context';

const yourTests = (ctx: BaseContext) => {
  // ...
};

To run them, use:

npm run test:e2e

Notice: When starting in E2E mode, testing db is always cleaned up before tests
