GraphQL API Node Server

GraphQL API Node Server for Utah Valley University course DGM4790. Prisma data modeling tool with Docker-based PostgreSQL data store.

Getting Started

To use Prisma locally, you need to have Docker installed on your machine. If you don't have Docker yet, you can download here. Once installed, launch Docker desktop and keep running in background.

Installing and starting server

In terminal, while in project directory, run:

npm install

With Docker running, start Prisma and launch the connected database with the following command:

npm run dockerStart

Deploy the Prisma API and generate the client:

npm run deploy

Seed the database:

npm run load

Start GraphQL server (Run in separate terminal if needed):

npm run start

CRUD

• Launch Docker desktop
• Open Playground within your browser at localhost:4000 (If 4000 does not load, try navigating to your machine's default env.PORT)
• Copy contents from playgroundCRUD.txt located in the root directory and paste in the playground for some basic CRUD operations.
