GRAPHQL-CASTS

An example repo using relay, react, and express-graphql

Getting Up and Running

Server and Client side have separate package.json and yarn.lock files

Server: Install

From the root project folder, run yarn

Server: Running the project

This must be done every time a new terminal window is opened and used for the server side.

• Open up a tab in the terminal and run: yarn run dev
• Open up a tab in the terminal. From the root project folder, run: yarn run json-server

Server: Debugging

Requires the Node.js V8 inspector extension

To debug the server enter a debugging line in the server codebase.

Example: ./users/schema/schema.js

resolve(parent, args) {
  debugger;
  return Book.findById(args.id);
},

Then run yarn run debug to run the server in debug mode. Open Chrome and the inspector (dev tools). Click the green Node.js V8 inspector extension icon. Use breakpoints as necessary to move through the code and inspect.

Express-GraphQL Notes

The GraphQL schema docs are located in: users/schema

Node

.nvmrc added to both Server and Client side for node version consistency
