GraphQL Intro

We use graphql-tools which lets us use the GraphQL schema language to design our schema. This schema written in the schema language is then combined with our resolvers (which live somewhere else) using graphql-tools, which outputs our finished schema that's then used.

Folder Setup

This folder setup was inspired by a bunch of open (and some closed) source projects @mxstbr looked at before embarking on the journey of building this. It seems to work well, even for big projects, but nothing here is set in stone and we're always open for new ideas and discussions.

This is the current folder structure annotated:

api/
├── migrations     # Migrations for seeding the database with some initial data
├── models         # Handle talking to the database
├── mutations      # Mutation     resolvers
├── queries        # Query        resolvers
├── subscriptions  # Subscription resolvers
├── types          # The schema, split up into many smaller parts
│   └── scalars.js # The custom scalars we use in our schema and their resolvers
├── README.md
├── index.js       # Runs the actual servers (GraphQL + WebSocket for subscriptions)
└── schema.js      # Combines the types from types/ and the resolvers together with graphql-tools
