GraphQL wrapper for the The Movie Database API.
CI/CD using Circle CI
Deployed to Heroku at https://eu-movie-api.herokuapp.com/
In project root run the following:
echo API_KEY={API_KEY} > .env
Replacing {API_KEY} with a valid api key created at the Movie Database API
echo DB_PWD={DB_PWD} >> .env
Replacing {DB_PWD} with the password created for user dbUser on MongoDB Atlas Account
Run npm i
Run npm start

Recommended and similar movies can contain an array of Movie objects.
The above search pagination is a hybrid based on standard relay cursor pagination and limitations in the current MovieDB REST API.
The MovieDB REST API has a fixed page size of 20 records and requires a page number to be passed as part of the query. This therefore restricts the implementation of a pure cursor based pagination in relation to performance.
imageSize parameter can be obtained by querying the imageConfiguration end point and selecting an entry from the imageSizes property.
If no imageSizes argument is passed this defaults to original
Add the following Environment Variables to movie api project settings:
API_KEY - MovieDb API Key
HEROKU_API_KEY - Heroku API Key
HEROKU_APP_NAME - eu-movie-api
Add additional SSH Key for github
Hostname: github.com
Private key: see details below on how to create this
As part of deployment via Circle CI need to create a ssh key to push changes to github
ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -C "[email protected]"
Press enter for each option (no passphrase required as this will encrypt the key)
A key is generated in the following file id_rsa.pub (public) and id_rsa (private)
Run ls -al ~/.ssh to see all keys created
Copy key to clipboard pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Public key needs to be added to gitHub
Copy key to clipboard pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Private key needs to be added to Circle Ci
A scheduler is run on a daily basis to store the current featured movie. The following task is run at midnight using the Heroku Scheduler add-on.
npm run tasks
