## Clone the repository

```sh

git clone [email protected]:nikolasburk/muc-coding-night.git

cd muc-coding-night

```

## Get your GraphQL endpoint

### 1. Install Graphcool CLI

You first have to install the [Graphcool CLI](https://www.graph.cool/docs/reference/cli/overview-kie1quohli/):

```sh

npm install -g graphcool

```

### 2. Bootstrap local file structure for GraphQL server

```sh

graphcool init server # create files in new directory called `server`

```

### 3. Configure data model

Paste the following data model into the new file `server/types.graphql` and save the changes:

```graphql

type Person @model {

  id: ID! @isUnique    # required system-field (read-only)

  createdAt: DateTime! # optional system-field (read-only)

  updatedAt: DateTime! # optional system-field (read-only)

  name: String!

  messages: [Message!]! @relation(name: "UserMessages")

}

type Message @model {

  id: ID! @isUnique    # required system-field (read-only)

  createdAt: DateTime! # optional system-field (read-only)

  updatedAt: DateTime! # optional system-field (read-only)

  text: String!

  sentBy: Person! @relation(name: "UserMessages")

}

```

> Every type that's annotated with the `@model` directive is mapped to the database.

### 4. Deploy the GraphQL server

Navigate into the `server` directory and deploy the server:

```sh

cd server

graphcool deploy

```

When prompted, choose any of the **Shared Clusters**, e.g. `eu-west-1`.

## Run the app 🚀

That's it, you can now start the app:

```sh

yarn install

yarn start

```
