This is the main branch. This branch contains the project using GraphQL. For REST, switch to the rest-api branch

This application consists of a GraphQL API that exposes endpoints for retrieving gists by user, a sepcifc gist by Id and to post/delete gists to a favorite table in Postgres.

• API is incomplete (files datatype is not correct)
• Library is complete
• Database complete
• Frontend incomplete

1. Make sure you have postgres install locally and running.
2. Using psql or a tool like PgAdmin, run the following command: note: files datatype is incorrect for now

   CREATE TABLE favorites(
       ID serial PRIMARY KEY,
       created_at VARCHAR(255),
       updated_at VARCHAR(255),
       description VARCHAR(255),
       files VARCHAR(255)
   );
   

3. Navigate to server directory and run npm install
4. Run node index.js

1. Curl the Github Gist API to get a specific Gist that we can use as a favorite, example:

  curl \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
  https://api.github.com/gists/6cbb59919d4730781d19a6cbf2fa3611 | jq .

2. Navigate to http://localhost:4000/api in your browser and verify a get retrieves no data:

  {
    favorite{
      description,
      created_at,
      id,
      files
    }
  }

3. To add a favorite gist to our db, try this mutation:

mutation {
  addFavorite(
    id: "bghjkmn",
    created_at: "2020/01/20",
    description: "graphql test description",
    files: "stringified json obj"
  )
  {html_url, id}
}

4. Retry the favorite query to verify the value comes back as expected
5. Remove the gist from our favorites by using the deleteFavorite mutation:

mutation {
  deleteFavorite(id: 2){
    id, created_at, description, files
  }
}
