CRUD API

Basic example demonstrating the generation of the CRUD-style GraphQL API based on your data model.

You can use the read-only demo endpoint to explore the generated GraphQL API.

Setup

Download the example or clone the repo:

curl https://codeload.github.com/graphcool/framework/tar.gz/master | tar -xz --strip=2 framework-master/examples/crud-api
cd crud-api

Install the CLI (if you haven't already):

npm install -g graphcool

Deploy the Graphcool backend and open the GraphQL API endpoint in your browser

graphcool deploy
# next step: open `https://api.graph.cool/simple/v1/xxx` in your browser

When prompted which cluster you'd like to deploy, choose any of the Shared Clusters (shared-eu-west-1, shared-ap-northeast-1 or shared-us-west-2) rather than local.

Usage

Add initial data via create mutation

Run the following mutation to add some initial data. (Feel free to change this as you want.)

mutation {
  elon: createUser(
    firstName: "Elon"
    lastName: "Musk"
    posts: [{
      title: "Earth Travel"
      description: "Fly to most places on Earth in under 30 mins and anywhere in under 60. Cost per seat should be about the same as full fare economy in an aircraft. Forgot to mention that."
    }, {
      title: "Mars City"
      description: "Opposite of Earth. Dawn and dusk sky are blue on Mars and day sky is red."
    }]
  ) {
    id
  }
  
  tim: createUser(
    firstName: "Tim"
    lastName: "Cook"
    posts: [{
      title: "State Affairs"
      description: "A pleasure to host Secretary of Defense James Mattis at Amazon HQ in Seattle today"
    }]
  ) {
    id
  }
}

Query & filter data

You can run the following query to get all Post nodes including the releated User node which satisfy the filter condition:

{
  allPosts(filter: {
    author: {
      firstName: "Elon"
    }
  }) {
    title
    description
    author {
      firstName
      lastName
    }
  }
}
