Posts

1. Part 1 - Graphql subscriptions with Apollo server

Requirement

• node (I use v8)
• npm
• docker
• docker-compose
• mongodb (No need to have it running if you use docker-compose)

note If you dont want to use docker, you can run it with the npm scripts, but you will have to run a mongodb instance and set the environment variables.

Quickstart

1. Clone the repo in you local machine git clone https://github.com/jmn8718/node-gql-subscriptions.git
2. Create a .env file, you can duplicate the .env.example and set your value.
3. Build the images with docker compose docker-compose build
4. Start the project with docker compose docker-compose up
5. Now that the server is up, we can:

• Go to http://localhost:3000/graphiql and you will see the graphiql interface
• Call the API endpoints ex. http://localhost:3000/api/v1/devices
