Boman Boilerplate - Node.js | GraphQL (Deprecated)

Rapid prototyping of GraphQL backend applications using Node.js.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

What things you need to install the software and how to install them

git clone https://github.com/bermanboris/boman-boilerplate

Installing

A step by step series of examples that tell you have to get a development env running

Installation using Yarn:

yarn install

or NPM:

npm install

Running the server

You can start the server using:

yarn start

or using NPM:

npm start

You can find "GraphiQL" UI on the http://localhost:5050/graphiql

Get all users:

{
  getUsers {
    name
    age
  }
}

or add new user:

mutation {
  addUser(name: "Michael", age: 18) {
    name
    age
  }
}

Controllers

You can add custom controller by creating JS file inside "controllers" directory. For example, let's create "UserController".

/controllers/UserController.js

import { RootController } from 'boman';

@RootController
class UserController {
  hello() {
    return 'hi';
  }
}

export default UserController;

When you create new class controller, you need to decorate it with "RootController" decorator from "boman" npm package. This way you get access to "express" request object (this.req) in your controller, and the db models (this.models).

Controller automatically passed to all your resolvers context, and you can use them immediately without doing extra work.

Let's try using UserController we've just created: /graphql/resolvers.js

export default {
  Query: {
    sayHello(parent, args, { UserController }) {
      return UserController.hello();
    }
  }
};

Like you can see, "it just works" out of the box! Don't forget to add GraphQL type to the type.gql file. Let's add it:

/graphql/type.gql

type Query {
  sayHello: String!
}

And we're done!
