• graphql
• koa-graphql
• @koa-cors
• dotenv
• jsonwebtoken
• koa-jwt
• koa-router
• mongoose

• auth - Auth related helper methods
• database - keeps models for mongoose into a separate mongo directory
• graphql - all the graphql related files stay here
• services - used to make more precise and compact services for busines logic (called from graphql resolvers)
• .env - stores all the environment related config
• app.js - initializes the database layer, middlewares, graphql and starts the server

• mongoose models are defined in separate files under mongoose directory and are automatically populated and available in ctx.db on every koa request. For eg. ctx.db.User

• graphql directory has been broken down into

  • mutations - keeps all the mutations that you want (See sample mutations)
  • resolvers - keeps all the query resolvers that you want (See sample resolver)
  • types - keeps all the custom graphql types

• .env file need not to be checked into git and its best to keep it separate on each environment rather making .env.dev, .env.prod, don't do that.

• Authentication - Authentication is being handled by json web token, check UserSignupMutation.js for more info on how to generate jwt tokens and send to client all in graphql

  • To enable auth for a particular resolver or mutation you just need to pass true while initializing in schema.js (check example)
  • For API, auth token needs to be sent into Authorization header of each request
  • For graphiql, token is picked up from cookie that is set when generating token the first time

• All resolvers and mutation extends the BaseResolver which does things like handling resolver level auth check

• Clone the project
• Run npm install
• node server.js
• That's it!

• Add a simple logger capabale of handling different log levels

• Fork and make pull requests please!
• Report any bugs and improvements.
