Example GraphQL API implemented in Go and backed by Postgresql

How to run it

To run this project you need to:

  • install golang, see this guide
  • install Masterminds/glide which is a package manager for golang projects.
  • install all the dependencies for this project: glide install, glide will store all dependencies in /vendor folder.
  • install postgresql (for ubuntu follow this guide). For this application, I created a postgresql user called vagrant with vagrant as password and the database called graphql, but of course you can change these settings in ./migrate.sh and in ./main.go files.
  • install mattes/migrate which is a tool to create and run migrations against sql databases.
  • run the migrations which will create the database tables and indexes ./migrate.sh up. If you ever want to clean up the the database run ./migrate.sh down then ./migrate.sh up again.

Commands

This application exposes a single endpoints /graphql which accepts both mutations and queries. The following are examples of curl calls to this endpoint:

curl -XPOST http://vm:8080/graphql -d 'mutation {createUser(email:"1@x.co"){id, email}}'
curl -XPOST http://vm:8080/graphql -d 'mutation {createUser(email:"2@y.co"){id, email}}'
curl -XPOST http://vm:8080/graphql -d 'mutation {follow(follower:1, followee:2)}'
curl -XPOST http://vm:8080/graphql -d 'mutation {unfollow(follower:1, followee:2)}'
curl -XPOST http://vm:8080/graphql -d '{user(id:2){followers{id, email}}}'
curl -XPOST http://vm:8080/graphql -d '{user(id:1){followers{id, email}}}'
curl -XPOST http://vm:8080/graphql -d '{user(id:2){follower(id:1){ email}}}'
curl -XPOST http://vm:8080/graphql -d '{user(id:1){followees{email}}}'
curl -XPOST http://vm:8080/graphql -d '{user(id:1){followee(id:2){email}}}'
