Dev tools

Codegen

When dev api is running (port 3000), npm run codegen generates the types from exposed graphQL schema.

These generated types (src/generated/types.ts) are used to type arguments of all resolvers.

Run and try api

Dev environment

Run postgres container docker run --name devPostgres --env-file .env.dev -p 5432:5432 -d postgres

Install dependencies npm i

Create tables npm run db:migrate:dev

Seed tables npm run db:seed:dev

Run the api npm run start:dev

Access sandbox localhost:3000. You can play around and see documentation

Prod environment - docker-compose

• npm run compose:dev will use .env.dev file. When hosting the api, we would run npm run compose:prod and copy .env file on the server.
• try the api:
  • Access Apollo sandbox at http://localhost:13000
  • Import postman_collection.json in Postman to have prepared queries
