# TypeGraphQL Boilerplate [in progress]

I'm a noob so I keep such repos on my GitHub to refer back to in the future (2 weeks from now), when I've forgotten how this shit works.

## How this works

- We use TypeGraphQL to make it easier to use TS in GraphQL

- We use Apollo Server to setup a GraphQL server, using Express

- We use TypeORM as the ORM of choice, which makes using Postgresql easier

- We use bcrypt for hashing passwords (not the best choice, but is easy to setup - you probably want to use a stronger hashing library in production)

- we use sessions to keep user logged in, we use the express-session library for this

- connect-redis provides Redis session storage for Express

  - ioredis is the redis client that we're going to use

  - we also install cors so that we don't face problems with cookies

- We send confirmation emails to users on sign up to confirm their accounts, which contain a link that the user needs to click to be able to login to their account

- We allow the user to reset their password by clicking on a link sent to their email
