graphql-go-example

Example GraphQL API implemented in Go and backed by Postgresql

How to run it

To run this project you need to:

• install golang, see this guide
• install Masterminds/glide which is a package manager for golang projects.
• install all the dependencies for this project: glide install, glide will store all dependencies in /vendor folder.
• install postgresql (for ubuntu follow this guide). For this application, I created a postgresql user called vagrant with vagrant as password and the database called graphql, but of course you can change these settings in ./migrate.sh and in ./main.go files.
• install mattes/migrate which is a tool to create and run migrations against sql databases.
• run the migrations which will create the database tables and indexes ./migrate.sh up. If you ever want to clean up the the database run ./migrate.sh down then ./migrate.sh up again.
