# Dockerize Graphql Rust

***More current version at https://github.com/jayy-lmao/rust-cult-graphql-server***

This project is currently for demonstrating the use of dataloaders in a rust-based graphql server.
This demo uses:

- `actix-web` a high-performance webserver for rust https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/
- `juniper` a popular rust graphql framework https://github.com/graphql-rust/juniper
- A dockerfile which creates a _from scratch_ minimal sized container
- Cults (more to be added)

There are definitely some improvements to be made in db requests, pagination etc. Let me know if you spot anything you think is top-priority!

## Running locally

simple as `docker-compose up`, crazy!
Then navigate to http://localhost:8000/graphql

## TODO

- [x] DB connection
- [x] Expose graphql
- [ ] Mutations!
- [x] Create
- [ ] Update
- [ ] Delete
- [ ] Context to later use in Dataloaders and Auth
- [x] Dataloaders
- [ ] Auth?
- [ ] DB pool

## Schema

```graphql
type Cult {
id: Int!
name: String!
members: [Person!]!
}

type Mutation {
createPerson(data: NewPerson!): Person!
createCult(data: NewCult!): Cult!
}

input NewCult {
name: String!
}

input NewPerson {
name: String!
cult: Int
}

type Person {
id: Int!
name: String!
cult: Cult
}

type Query {
personById(id: Int!): Person!
persons: [Person!]!
cultById(id: Int!): Cult!
cults: [Cult!]!
}
```
