WeatherStation backend

WeatherStation backend with GraphQL goodies.

Running the server

Once the repository is cloned (git clone https://github.com/javierdelgadofernandez/weatherstation), you can either run directly on your machine (requires lein installed) or run it with Docker. In both cases, it will require a PostgreSQL dababase (check db.clj to see details) running in the host. The server will start on port 3002.

With lein

Using liningen we will need only one command that will download the libraries and run the server:

lein ring server-headless   

With Docker

Simply build the container:

docker build -t weatherstation-be .

And run it:

docker run --network=host weatherstation-be

Creating some data

And from another terminal, we should be able to send data:

curl -XPOST localhost:3002/api/measure \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"temperature": 23, "pressure": 22, "humidity": 20, "epoch": 3494701246000}' 

Querying the data using GraphQL

Using the GraphQL syntax but sending the request as JSON:

Getting the last measure:

If we do not specify either from or to, the server returns the last measure:

curl -XPOST 'localhost:3002/graphql' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "query { measures {temperature,humidity,epoch}}"}' 

Retrieving several measures:

With parameters from and to we can specify a date range to retrive:

curl -XPOST 'localhost:3002/graphql' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "query { measures(from: 1494701245000, to:1494701247000) {temperature,humidity,epoch}}"}'

Or:

curl -XPOST 'localhost:3002/graphql' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "query { measures(from: 1494701245000) {temperature,humidity,epoch}}"}'

Or:

curl -XPOST 'localhost:3002/graphql' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "query { measures(to: 1494701245000) {temperature,humidity,epoch}}"}'
