Go Graphql Starter

This project aims to use graph-gophers/graphql-go to build a starter web application. This project has already been used as backend application in production.

In case you need to get called from another frontend side, CORS may needed to be enabled in this application as this project mainly focuses on backend logic at this stage.

This project would be continuously under development for enhancement. Pull request is welcome.

RoadMap:

Integrated with sqlx
Integrated with graphql-go
Use go-bindata to generate Go code from .graphql file
Use psql
Integrated with dataloader
Add authentication & authorization
Add unit test cases
Support subscription
Support web-socket notification and messaging

Requirement:

Postgres database
Golang

Remark: If you want to use other databases, please feel free to change the driver in context/db.go

Usage(Without docker):

Run the sql scripts under data/1.0 folder inside Postgres database console

Install go-bindata

 go get -u github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...

Setup GOPATH (Optional if already set)

For example: MacOS

 export GOPATH=/Users/${username}/go
 export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Run the following command at root directory to generate Go code from .graphql file
```
 go-bindata -ignore=\.go -pkg=schema -o=schema/bindata.go schema/...
```
OR
```
 go generate ./schema
```
There would be bindata.go generated under schema folder
Start the server (Ensure your postgres database is live and its setting in Config.toml is correct)
```
 go build server.go
```

Usage(With docker):

Run the sql scripts under data/1.0 folder inside Postgres database console
Build docker image
```
 docker build -t go-graphql-starter .
```
Run docker image (Ensure your database setting in Config.toml is correct)
```
 docker run go-graphql-starter
```

Usage(With docker-compose):

Create a folder /psqldata on your OS system and set it for file sharing in docker
Create and starter services by docker-compose
```
 docker-compose up
```

Graphql Example:

Test in graphiql by the following endpoint

localhost:3000

Basically there are two graphql queries and one mutation

Query:

Get a user by email
Get user list by cursor pagination

Mutation:

To query a list of users, you need to be authenticated.
Authentication is not required for other operations.
In order to authenticate, here are the steps to follow:

Create a user

mutation {
  createUser (email: "tester@tester.com", password: "123456") {
    id
  }
}

Here’s an example on how to achieve this:

   a. Download [Insomnia](https://insomnia.rest/) OR Other RESTful endpoint testing tools e.g. Postman
   b. Create a new POST request, paste `localhost:3000/login` in the URL bar and go to the Header tab
   c. Generate your basic Authorization on [blitter.se](https://www.blitter.se/utils/basic-authentication-header-generator/)
   d. In Insomnia, first column, type Authorization, second column enter the Basic you just copied `Basic dGVzdGVyQHRlc3Rlci5jb206a3Rta3Rt`
   e. Click send, you should get a jwt token back.

You can change the Authorization of request header in graphiql.html and restart the server to see the effect of authentication using token

Test:

Run Unit Tests
```
  go test
```
