sabejensen / graph_ql Goto Github PK

Clone this repo and open two terminal windows in the root directory. In the first terminal, run an npm install:

$ npm install

In the second terminal, you can start your docker server with the following commands:

$ cd docker

$ docker-compose -f stack.yml up

Your docker server should now be up and running. In the first terminal (still in the root directory), you can initialize the GraphQL server with seed data:

$ npm run seed

Now you should be ready to start the Apollo server. To do so, run:

$ npm run dev

In the playground created on port 4000, you can interact with the GraphQL API in the following ways.

{
 firstPokemon {
    id
    name
    classification
  }
}

Returns the first Pokemon in the database.

{
 findPokemon(pkId: "id") {
    id
    name
    classification
  }
}

Returns a specific pokemon when passed an ID. Replace 'id' with the autoId of the pokemon you'd like to reference.

{
 createPokemon {
    id
    name
    classification
  }
}

Creates a new Pokemon and adds it to the database.

{
 upsertPokemon {
    id
    name
    classification
  }
}

Updates an existing Pokemon, or adds a new one if one does not exist.

{
 resetPokemon {
    id
    name
    classification
  }
}

Resets the database. The original dataset can be obtained again by running the NPM seed command.
