kotlin-demo

Demo kotlin graphql server mocking out a bad blog.

At some point this was based on https://spring.io/guides/tutorials/spring-boot-kotlin/ but then spun out to graphQL via https://blog.pusher.com/writing-graphql-service-using-kotlin-spring-boot/. Also it's very bad.

Note: Under the default configuration, data will not persist between runtime sessions.

Setting Up Your Developmet Environment

If you haven't yet, follow our guide on Confluence to set up your local development environment and install dependencies.

Compiling, testing, and running locally

The app includes a gradle wrapper, so if you have a Kotlin-friendly JDK installed on your Java home, all you need to do is:

git clone git@github.com:kiva/kotlin-demo.git
cd kotlin-demo

./gradlew test
./gradlew bootRun

Then in your browser visit http://localhost:8080/graphiql?query=%7B%0A%20%20version%0A%7D

Building and running Docker container locally

Make sure the app is not running locally as described above (or remap port bindings). You won't need anything other than Docker Compose installed to make this work.

From the root directory of the application,

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

Alternatively, manually build and run:

docker build -t kotlin-demo .
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 kotlin-demo

Then in your browser visit http://localhost:8080/graphiql?query=%7B%0A%20%20version%0A%7D

Using Docker Compose to Spin Up a Dev Stack Locally

Want to see this app in action in the context of a UI server, a GraphQL schema aggregation server, and backed by a separate DB instance?
