graphql-auth-demo

Created with CodeSandbox, the article that properly explains this is here

This was created to demonstrate authentication in GraphQL.

• create a user
• authenticate the user
• generate and validate the token

Used

• apollo-server v2
• jsonwebtoken
• bcrypt
• pick(from lodash)
• mongoose

Althought this example uses mongoose and MongoDb, you can easily set up any other database.

Mutations

mutation {
  register(email:"olivier@gmail.com", password:"compl8353pass"){
    email
    password
  }
}

mutation {
  login(email:"olivier@gmail.com", password:"compl8353pass")
}

Queries

{
  users {
    email
    password
  }
  loggedInUser {
    email
  }
}

To-do

• Use a different database (relational)
• Migrate to typescript
• Add more examples to show how relationships work in GraphQL
