Typescript GraphQl API Server

Apollo Server, GraphQL, Typescript and Postgres.

Getting Started

1. Download & Install Dependencies

   # clone it
   $ git clone 
   $ cd apollo-typescript-starter
   
   # Make it your own
   $ rm -rf .git && git init
   
   # Install dependencies
   $ npm install

2. Next, ensure your local Postgres database is up and running. Once configured, place your connection url in a .env file at the root of the repo. These variables will be automatically assigned to process.env when the application boots through dotenv. Your .env file should look something like this:

   DATABASE_URL=postgres://user@host/database
   

3. Use knex to migrate the database using the migrations

   # Install knex globally if you don't already have it with 'npm install -g knex' 
   $ knex migrate:latest
   
   # Use knex migrate:rollback to  

4. Boot the app and navigate to localhost:3000/graphiql to run a query!

   $ npm start
