This Project is my implementation of how to graphql course for Node.js and Prisma based on graphql-yoga and prisma.

How to use

1. Get the project and install the dependencies

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Lazhari/hacker-news-api.git

Install Node dependencies

cd hacker-news-api
yarn

2. Install the Prisma CLI

To run the server, you need the Prisma CLI. Please install it via NPM

npm install -g prisma

3. Set up database & deploy Prisma datamodel

prisma deploy

4. Start the GraphQL server

Launch your GraphQL server with this command:

npm run start

Use Compose for dev environment

Run prisma deploy from docker-compose

docker-compose run api prisma deploy

Run docker-compose up ⚡ to start app

docker-compose up

Running prisma with docker-compose exec

When you update your prisma models, you need to deploy that to prisma. Then you can run this command:

docker-compose exec api prisma deploy

Navigate to http://localhost:4000 in your browser to explore the API of you GraphQL server in a GraphQL Playground.
