twitter-graphql

Installation

1. Install Mysql in your system. You can find the installation guide here https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-osx-excerpt/5.7/en/osx-installation-pkg.html

2. Set the MYSQL_PASSWORD and MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD under environment: in docker-compose.yaml file

    database:
            
            environment:
                  MYSQL_DATABASE: twitter
                  MYSQL_USER: new-user
                  MYSQL_PASSWORD: <your root password>
                  MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: <your root password>
                  

Running The Application Using Docker Container

1. Go to root directory. i.e twitter-graphql
2. Execute command docker-compose up --build in terminal

The command will build the application from Dockerfile. You can eleminate the --build option to avoid building everytime you run your application.

Testing the GraphQl API

1. Go to http://localhost:8080/ and enter the Graphql queries and mutations you want to test.

NOTES:

1. The above application will bind the GraphQl server to port :8080. Make sure the port is not already binded.
2. Do not run the mySQL server manually. The docker container will automatically start the server and bind the application to it.
