rel.js

Rel is a zero-config backend framework for the frontend of your choice. We've combined GraphQL with the deep relational capabilities of redis-graph.

Rel is the end-to-end backend framework:

• Schema driven (schema.graphql)
• CRUD + custom endpoints
• Auto-generated client (TypeScript)
• Standard and polymorphic relationships
• Authentication and authorization
• Realtime subscriptions
• Delayed + scheduled jobs
• Event streams / hooks
• Plugins + Extensions
• Hosting (later 2022)

Quickstart

Install Rel to your existing project, or create a new one:

npx rel-cmd@latest init

Afterwards, Then run rel dev to start the server on http://localhost:4000.

Other things available to you after install:

• Visit http://localhost:4000/ for a GraphQL playground.
• Make queries to your GraphQL server at http://localhost:4000/graphql.
• Edit rel/schema.graphql (or ./schema.graphql for standalone) to change your schema and generated client.

• Public: Production-ready

Development

Rel uses pnpm as our package manager and we love it.

• pnpm install
• pnpm run build
• pnpm run bootstrap:redis
