Simple blog app with a GraphQL backend and React frontend
BlogQL is a learning project; something I started to help enhance my knowlege of learn Node, TypeScript, React, GraphQL and GitHub Actions. Currently the system supports login via Google, single blog per user, a rich-text blog post editor and a GraphQL API accessible via API key.
Here's a two-miniute video demo of the BlogQL UI as it stands today:
Here's a listing of the technologies used in BlogQL.
- Node.js
- TypeScript

- Express for REST bits
- Apollo GraphQL server
- SQLite3 or Postgres database persistence
- Apollo Studio schema checks and publish
- React.js application
- React Router v5

- Apollo GraphQL client
- Quill (rich text editor)
- Webpack bundling and dev server
- Storybook stories and Chromatic snapshot checks
- You can view the components in the public Storybook
- Github Actions
- On pull-request update: build, runs tests, builds Docker image and checks GraphQL schema.
- On merge to main: does same steps and then publishes GraphQL schema to Apollo Studio.
- Work in progress: Helm charts for deploying to Kubernetes
