GraphQL + Apollo Starter 🛠

Get an GraphQL server using TypeGraphQL and PostgreSQL up and running in seconds.

Installation 🚀

Pre-requisites

1. Yarn v.1.22.4+.

2. PostgreSQL v.12.

Steps ✅

1. Clone this repository.

2. Run yarn install on your terminal to get all the dependencies.

3. Get your PostgreSQL services up and running.

4. Check the ormconfig.json file:

    {
  "name": "default",
  "type": "postgres",
  "host": "localhost",
  "port": 5432,
  "username": "<your-username>",
  "password": "<your-password>",
  "database": "<your-database-name>",
  "synchronize": true,
  "logging": true,
  "entities": ["src/entity/*.*"]
}

• Keep in mind:
  • Change the values in <>.
  • If you want to experiment and use another database, I would suggest checking TypeORM Documentation, and switching some configs out.

5. Run the development server using: yarn start.

6. Apollo server must be listening on: http://localhost:4000/graphql.

7. Everything is setup so far, happy coding 😉.

Why fractal design ✨

1. Gives us phenomenal scale.

2. Easy to debug as everything go with the domain logic flow.

3. Easy to onboard a new developer to this codebase.
