graphql-api-boilerplate

A complete GraphQL API using NodeJS (requires module support). It uses apollo-server-express and supports subscriptions

Meh I don't need subscriptions

If you don't need subscriptions you can replace index.js with the indexNoSubs.js in the alternatives folder.

PostgreSQL alternative

If you don't need PostgreSQL you can safely delete the database folder and removes those packages:

• npm uninstall pg pg-hstore sequelize

It uses sequelize ORM and connects to a PostgreSQL database. Also configure the needed environment variables:

• DB_HOST=myDbHost
• DB_PORT=myDbPort
• DB_NAME=myDbName
• DB_USER=myDbUser
• DB_PASSWORD=myUserPassword

Add .env file

.env file to add variables to the server, they are injected to process.env using the dotenv module.

• NODE_ENV=production to disable playground and introspection.
• API_PORT=yourPort to set API port
• GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT='/graphql' to set the graphQL endpoint
• SUBSCRIPTIONS_ENDPOINT='/subscriptions' to set the subscriptions endpoint
