[CODEWORD IntraTalks]

This is a simple GraphQL backend that serves data to the frontend.

It is set up using hot module reloading with Webpack, and typescript.

To run the backend with HMR in development mode, you can run the following two lines of code in two terminals;

To visit the GraphQL playground, you can visit localhost:4000.

Running tutorial

1. Install packages and dependencies by typing yarn
2. Then by running yarn build-dev and yarn start in two different terminals, you should be able access the GraphQL Interactive Interface at localhost:4000

If you want to build the production version of this application you can type yarn build-prod, and run that with yarn start.

When working on GraphQL typedefs, it is important to use the yarn codegen command so that the generated graphql.ts file is kept fully updated.

Enviroment file

To run the backend, you probably want the secret enviroment variables. Under you can see what your .env file should look like.

CLIENT_SECRET=**REDACTED**
CLIENT_ID=**REDACTED**
REDIRECT_URI=**REDACTED**
MONGODB_URL=**REDACTED**
PUBLIC_KEY=**REDACTED**
ADMIN_IDS=**REDACTED**
# The values are stored in a secret channel🤫

If you want to disable Mocking when developing you can add

MOCK=false

in the .env file. By doing this you will use the data residing in our MongoDB server.
