GraphQL + Mongoose Boilerplate

This is a GraphQL boilerplate which uses mongoose to use the MongoDB as data layer.

Usage

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/mohib0306/graphql-mongoose-boilerplate

2. Navigate to the folder
3. Create a .env file and add the values for your mongodb database, user, password and port. Also update the value for NODE_PORT to a port of your own choice. The file should look like this;

APP_ENV=development
APP_PORT=1444
MONGO_DB=db-name
MONGO_DB_USER=db-user
MONGO_DB_PASSWORD=db-password
MONGO_DB_PORT=db-port
MONGO_DB_HOST=db-host

3. Install the dependencies

yarn install

4. Start the server

yarn start

Directory structure

1. GraphQL types, schema are in graphql folder
2. Mogoose models are located in mongodb folder

Other usages

You can also use this boilerplate for other data sources. In that case you need to replace the server definition in graphql/index.js file. The file has already instructions on how to do that. Also update the graphql/config.js file to not initialize the MONGO* fields.

You also need to update the resolvers of mutations and queries in graphql folder to not use mongoose models.
