Documentation for the Boilerplate

When you generate the project, you will have;

Tech Stack

• Node.js
• Typescript
• GraphQL Apollo Server
• MongoDB with Mongoose

Features

• Multiple GraphQL Queries with implementations in Typescript
• Multiple GraphQL Mutations with implementations in Typescript
• Multiple GraphQL Schemas with implementations in Typescript
• Multiple Controllers with implementations in Typescript
• Multiple Mongoose Models with implementations in Typescript
• MongoDB Connection, Repository Layer implementations in Typescript
• CRUD operations for Multiple Entities with implementations in Typescript

Architecture

This boilerplate has common graphql api design architecture. Layers:

• Controllers holds implementation for the business logic, like retrieving data from repositories, returning those data to queries and mutations, saving data etc.
• Database holds MongoDB connection provider
• Models holds document interfaces, schema definitions and models for MongoDB & Mongoose
• Mutations holds basic mutation implementation; create, update, delete
• Queries holds basic query implementation; retrieve
• Resolvers holds resolver definitions for Apollo Server
• Schemas holds schema definitions for Apollo Server

Installation

Install the dependencies and devDependencies:

$ cd <Project Name>
$ npm install

Set environment parameters on .env:

PORT="{{PORT NUMBER WHERE THE APP WILL WORK}}"
MONGO_DB_PATH="{{MONGODB CONNECTION URL STRING}}"

And that's all, start the server

$ npm start
