Challenge Graphql Project

Docker - Installation for Docker

Setup

This project is setup to be a fully contained project. Meaning that other than Docker, Node, and NPM, you shouldn't need anything else installed to run this project locally.

• Open a tab in your comsole and run docker-compose up
• In another tab run knex migrate:latest
• Next run npm install
• Finally run npm run dev

Notes & Tips

• This project usees an ORM called Knex to interface the the database: Knex
• This project uses JWT's and to complete one of the requirments of this project you will need to send a user token in the headers of your request.
• If you do not have a tool for exploring the Graphql api I suggest that you use Graphql Playground
• The models folder is where the you will find helper method using knex to query the database.
• The resolvers folder is where all of the Graphql and Queries should live.
• The shared folder primarily contains third party integrations.
• resolvers/root-types.js is where all queries and mutation need to be defined.
• resolvers/index.js is where you will inport your queries and mutations for a new resolver.

Connecting to the Database.

• Personally I use Postico, but use whatever tool you want.
• Username: postgres
• Password: postgres
• Database: challenge_db
• Port: 5433

The Challenge

You need to create a new set resolver called projects. Specifically you need to:

1. Create a mutation for creating a new project

• Only logged in users should be able to create a project.
• The name of the project should be "required" in the graphql schema.
• The current user should be set as the user_id or owner for that project.

2. Create a query to fetch all projects for a user

• Should only return that user's projects
• The Project type that you create should have a user field that allows you to fetch the User type.
