DrupalCon Europe 2022 Demo Repository

This repository contains the code that was used in the presentation "Building a GraphQL API - Beyond the Basics" by Alexander Varwijk, given at DrupalCon Europe 2022 in Prague.

The git history follows the flow of the presentation and describes what has happened in each step.

Installation

Docker

The commands below assume a newer version of Docker for Desktop on Mac and Windows, or the installation of the compose plugin v2 on Linux. If you're running an older version you may need to replace docker compose with docker-compose.

Install in Docker containers

1. Copy and rename the .env.dist to .env and update the .env variables, if you don't want to use the defaults. We recommend to use the .localhost domain extension for the PROJECT_BASE_URL; so that you don't have to update your host file.

cp .env.dist .env

2Run the nginx-proxy container, you only need one even if you have multiple projects.

docker compose --file docker-compose.nginx.yml --project-name nginx up --detach

3. Run the docker containers for the project:

docker compose up --detach

4. Depending on the configured PROJECT_BASE_URL, you can access the following services:

• Drupal: http://drupalcon.localhost
• Mailcatcher: http://mailcatcher.drupalcon.localhost

Installing git in our container

The Drupal docker image doesn't come with git, but we do need it to install some of our testing requirements.

docker exec -ti drupalcon_web apt-get update
docker exec -ti drupalcon_web apt-get install -y git

Composer Requirements

This project uses composer to manage its dependencies. Install the packages by running:

docker exec -ti drupalcon_web composer install
