❗Any changes to the master branch should be coordinated with the iOS team.
To get the server running locally:
- Clone this repo
- npm install to install all required dependencies
- npm run server to start the local server
- npm test to start server using testing environment
- npm run deploy to sync the prisma datamodel with our database
GraphQL
- Declarative data fetching
- Zero-config caching (speed)
- Seamlessly handles local & remote data
- Vibrant ecosystem and extensibility
Prisma
- Type-safe database access thanks to the custom and auto-generated Prisma client.
- Simple and powerful API for working with relational data and transactions.
- Visual data management with Prisma Admin.
- Prisma unifies access to multiple databases at once (coming soon) and therefore drastically reduces complexity in cross-database workflows.
- Realtime streaming & event system for your database ensuring you're getting updates for all important events happening in your database.
- Automatic database migrations (optional) based on a declarative datamodel expressed using GraphQL's schema definition language (SDL).
- Other database workflows such as data import, export & more.
You can find the schema documentation here.
In order for the app to function correctly, the user must set up their own environment variables.
create a .env file that includes the following:
* ENGINE_API_KEY - analytics for our graphql engine
* NODE_ENV - set to "development" until ready for "production"
* TEST_TOKEN - JWT used for testing porpoises
* SERVICE_STAGE - the database stage for testing or production
