GraphQL-API runtime on top of PouchDB

Build Status Package on npm

A GraphQL-API runtime on top of PouchDB created by GraphQL shorthand notation as a self contained service with CouchDB synchronization.

Objectives - evaluating for your project

  • Frontend-First-Driven approach without backend/database migrations
  • Friendly GraphQL shorthand notation spec to create typed data model definitions fast and easy
  • Self-contained // no infrastructure dependencies // no lock in
  • Customizable for seamless integration of existing resources

Usage

First install using npm:

npm install -g graphql-pouch

and then just run it!

graphql-pouch

For more information run:

graphql-pouch -h

##GraphiQL UI for development becomes standard

GraphiQL is a awesome web based tool by Facebook to let you interactively explore your data and your API. When development mode is enabled in GraphQL-Pouch, the GraphiQL interface will be automatically displayed at your GraphQL endpoint.

Example

graphql-pouch --development
Listen on port 3000
CouchDB sync URL: none
Relay enabled: true
Development mode: true
JWT-Authentication: false

Supported GraphQL schemas:
cms initialized and running - http://127.0.0.1:3000/graphql/cms

Navigate to the URL printed to your console after starting GraphQL-Pouch and use GraphiQL to fetch your data. When you want to use GraphQL-Pouch in production mode, the GraphiQL-App is ideally suited.

GraphQL and Relay

Check out the CMS example for a demo of GraphQL-Pouch, Relay and React in action.

Benefits

GraphQL-Pouch uses the joint benefits of PouchDB and GraphQL to provide a number of key benefits.

Roadmap

In the future, things that GraphQL-Pouch will include:

  • HTTPS Support
  • Mock/Fake data results
  • Runtime traceability using resolver timings
  • Role based authorization
  • MongoDB query language inspired subselections
  • DataLoader for batching and caching optimization
  • Subscriptions using PouchDB change notifications

and, of course:

  • better documentation
  • better validation and error messages
  • better debug logs
