Back my books 📓

Our last (but not least) Becode Project !

Some guy called Jeff asked us for a library manager for his books, so we did it!

With GraphQL

Our demo website (On Heroku)

Stack Technique

• Node.js (Server)
• PostgreSQL (Database)
• Sequelize (ORM)
• Babel (Transpiler)
• Apollo-Server && Apollo Client

Playground (query testing) is here.

If you want to query the Playground with some authentication, you can get it from here.

How to use Sequelize-CLI :

npm run build:server

In the src/ folder :

npm install --save-dev sequelize-cli

1. Fill the bin/config/config.json with the database credentials.

2. in the src/ folder :

npx sequelize db:create - Creates the database sequelize db:migrate - Creates the following tables : * books * borrows * comments * opinions * users

Note : Tables names are plural

Sequelize db:seed - Optional, fills the tables with 3 books and their info.

Tables and models :

The entries in the database, type and references (relations) are in the /models folder

* books => book
* borrows => borrow
* comments => comment
* opinions => opinion
* users => user

Queries

All the queries, with a getAll... will, by default render 5 books.

However, you can pass the limit parameter :

e.g :

getAllUsers(limit: 10) {...}

More informations about our API is in the Playground

Mutations (Queries that change stuff ) :

Books

createBook()

An error will occur if the ISBN (10 or 13) exists in the database

Borrows

createBorrow()

An error will occur if a user already borrowed 5 books we know we have plenty books, but hey, bring back the 5 others, please

bookReturn()

An error will occur if the user tries to give back a book that he never borrowed. maybe he stole it ?

Comments

createComment()

An error will occur if the user already gave his opinion on the book. give the book a thumbs up, please

Opinions

giveOpinion()

An error will occur if the user tries to reply more than once on a comment No need for drama in the comment section

Users

createUser()

An error will occur if a user's username or email are in the database.

For obvious reasons

Have fun !
