🗺️ A graphql api for the landexplorer data.

Installing & Running the server

Usage

For working with the API you can start a dev server that will restart the server after changes using:

npm run watch

There is a graphical interface that you can use to test your queries. visit localhost:8080/graphiql and type in the following:

{
  inspireId(lng: "-1.25390", lat: "51.76110")
}

The service will return your inspireId for that lng lat

{
  "data": {
    "inspireId": "27567047"
  }
}

Running the tests

To run the tests you will need to create a database in postgres like this:

CREATE DATABASE inspire_tests;

Then connect to inspire_tests database using \connect inspire_tests;

Now extend the schema definition of inspire_tests to include geometry by using:

CREATE EXTENSION postgis;

To seed the database requires you to have GDAL installed with a Postgres driver

brew install gdal --with-postgresql

You can then seed the database by Running

npm run seed
