All the Databases

A GraphQL server tutorial combining 5 data sources:

https://www.compose.com/articles/use-all-the-databases-part-1/

To follow along, check out the empty-resolvers branch.

Code written in the tutorial can be found in:

• server.js
• data/schema.js
• data/resolvers.js

There's also database, ORM, and seeding code in data/connectors.js.

Browse data

Here's the deployed version of this server:

all-the-databases.graphql.guide/graphiql

Now try out a query

Run locally

Get the code:

git clone git@github.com:GraphQLGuide/all-the-databases.git
cd all-the-databases
npm install

Get the databases:

brew install redis
brew install elasticsearch
brew install mongodb

Run one command per terminal tab:

mongod

redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

elasticsearch

Then in the all-the-databases/ directory, run the GraphQL server:

npm run dev

Then open:

localhost:8080/graphiql

Then query:

Query

When you paste this on the left side of the GraphiQL page:

{
  user(id: 1) {
    firstName
    lastName
    photo
    mentions {
      ...TweetDetails
    }
  }      
  publicFeed {
    ...TweetDetails
  }
  cityFeed {
    ...TweetDetails
  }
}

fragment TweetDetails on Tweet {
  text
  author {
    firstName
    lastName
    photo
  }      
  city
  views
  created
}

and hit the play button (or cmd-return), then you should get something like this on the right:
