Express GraphQL Server with Cron

================================

This project sets up an Express server with GraphQL integration and cron jobs for periodic tasks. It utilizes Node.js, Express.js, GraphQL, and Cron.

Features

--------

*   **GraphQL API:** Exposes a GraphQL API endpoint for querying and mutating data.

*   **Cron Jobs:** Configures cron jobs for executing periodic tasks.

*   **Database Connectivity:** Establishes a connection to the database.

*   **CORS:** Implements Cross-Origin Resource Sharing for handling requests from different origins.

Installation

------------

1.  Clone the repository:

    git clone 

        

2.  Install dependencies:

    npm install

        

3.  Set up environment variables:

Create a `.env` file in the root directory and specify the required environment variables:

    PORT=5000

        DATABASE_URL=

        

Usage

-----

1.  Start the server:

    npm start

        

The server will be running on `http://localhost:5000` by default.

2.  Access the GraphQL Playground:

Open a web browser and navigate to `http://localhost:5000/graphql` to access the GraphQL Playground. Here, you can interact with the GraphQL API, explore the schema, and execute queries and mutations.

Configuration

-------------

*   **Port:** You can specify a custom port by setting the `PORT` environment variable.

*   **Database:** Update the `DATABASE_URL` environment variable with your database connection URL.

*   **Cron Jobs:** Define your cron job configurations in the `cron.js` file.

Folder Structure

----------------

*   `schema/`: Contains the GraphQL schema definitions.

*   `helpers/`: Includes helper functions, such as database connection setup.

*   `cron.js`: Configures cron jobs.

*   `server.js`: Entry point for the Express server.

Dependencies

------------

*   `express`: Web framework for Node.js.

*   `express-graphql`: Middleware for integrating GraphQL with Express.

*   `cors`: Middleware for enabling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.

*   `cron`: Library for scheduling cron jobs.
