# Publy - GraphQL example application
This repository contains my GraphQL example application _publy_ that is built with Spring for GraphQL and React. It demonstrates typical GraphQL use-cases.
## 1. Setup the workspace and run the application

**Prerequisites:**
- Java 17
- Docker
- yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) optional, only needed for the React/Apollo frontend
**Step 1: clone the repository**
- Please clone this repository with your Git client first.
**Step 2: Start the database (with Docker)**
- `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d`
**Step 3: Start userservice**
Attention. Port 17081 must not be occupied:
- `./gradlew publy-userservice:bootRun`
**Step 4: Start backend**
Attention. Port 17080 must not be occupied:
- `./gradlew publy-backend:bootRun`
You can now use `http://localhost:17080` to open the GraphiQL-Explorer
and execute queries and mutations.
**Step 5: Start frontend (optional)**
Attention. Port 3000 must not be occupied:
```bash
cd publy-frontend
yarn install
yarn start
```
You can now open the frontend via `http://localhost:3000` in your browser.
### Open workspace in the IDE
You can open the root directory in IDEA, then the project will be recognised as a Gradle project and automatically configured correctly by IDEA.
Then you can start the two server processes as Java applications:
- `nh.graphql.publy.userservice.UserserviceApplication`: The user service
- `nh.publy.backend.PublyApplication`: The (GraphQL-)backend
Important: In any case, please first start the database with `docker-compose` as described above!
## 2. Try the frontend
If you want to try out the example frontend, open it in your browser at `http://localhost:3000`.
As an anonymous visitor of the app, you are allowed to read articles and comments, as well as user ("member") information. GraphQL **Queries** are then executed in the background,
which you can inspect with the network console of your browser.
If you want to add a comment or leave a reaction (both implemented as **Mutations**),
you have to log in via the login page. There you will find usernames that you can use.
## 3. Execute queries in GraphiQL
You can use GraphiQL to execute GraphQL queries with the sample application.
Example 1:
```graphql
query {
stories(first: 10) {
edges {
node {
id
title
body
}
}
}
}
```
### Authorization tokens (for mutations)
If you want to execute **mutations**, the backend expects a user token.
For testing, you can use one of the following tokens, which are always valid:
- User: `nils`
- Role: `ROLE_USER` (may do anything)
```JSON
{"Authorization": "Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzUxMiJ9. eyJzdWIiOiJ7XCJpZFwiOlwiVTFcIixcInVzZXJuYW1lXCI6XCJuaWxzXCIsXCJuYW1lXCI6XCJOaWxzIEhhcnRtYW5uXCIsXCJlbWFpbFwiOlwia29udGFrdEBuaWxzaGFydG1hbm4ubmV0XCIsXCJyb2xlc1wiOltcIlJPTEVfVVNFUlwiLFwiUk9MRV9FRElUT1JcIl0sXCJndWVzdFwiOmZhbHNlfSIsImlhdCI6MTY0MTM2OTg0NywiZXhwIjozMjMyOTg3OTg3fQ. lsLAqfAdMID_2QFL7OimWEHcunaPy18zWVYZUDiEJYVwR9PQG5qf8_gRrNAwkd9w33dwunJC3bswR1W0zMtTID9DyeaXGLws2AtmwF_ZecD6x5TVDEBcFJV1-WrRt2yRWoo-hNywGqDUqR49dJoICoQ-. aoP_7GOgYo5zYIYCRe2Xbn4DbX0xzGLyiRNzJzZhq8l6KE_Hb5Ern0hTZhTZXq4jmrCjf8wztuF37rsRJ-nZ9vozUaQU7vwhl93g1gvAMb3zJWBo_m9ujd3RKSZ5fjMuOVb-kVQI6NP9hLoEYO2mkcDSoHNIXBgJHr3TYNzeGtJ3Nt3bTXp-o_P-bSzXYQ"}
```
- User: `murphy`
- Role: `ROLE_GUEST` (may comment and respond, but may not create stories. Note: Stories can only be created via GraphiQL, not via the frontend).
```json
{"Authorization": "Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzUxMiJ9. eyJzdWIiOiJ7XCJpZFwiOlwiVTdcIixcInVzZXJuYW1lXCI6XCJtdXJwaHlcIixcIm5hbWVcIjpcIkV0aGVseW4gTXVycGh5XCIsXCJlbWFpbFwiOlwiZXRoZWx5bi5tdXJwaHlAZXhhbXBsZS5jb21cIixcInJvbGVzXCI6W1wiUk9MRV9VU0VSXCIsXCJST0xFX0dVRVNUXCJdLFwiZ3Vlc3RcIjp0cnVlfSIsImlhdCI6MTY0MTM2OTg0NywiZXhwIjozMjMyOTg3OTg3fQ. A1SHxkgGCfdo-v-kCGRSFuYngMW6438o1alkg4DAdwWBYuy1E7axYbpzGKghP5gR19b7qoc98Y9gY9-zekFxo35yrzDaEmWMYR0UmprYI27M_eh06OJzct2NJt9voldnUlPdCed8mn4vPs56IXHTxd6zGGwSA7JGYSIfswQh2w-. 3y1d3WCFR3ZPju0f9ZripR_4NQFOltm4NNbHC7CbcWgUtixJx-h5BiAeLfZcJDFoNqUq6obf8jkUzOX_2PEJaeRzxW6WTXd88EbSqjMns5PqmM5BosSJmyuZSjfGGbLaFBqPLrgMLNHHNFwGn6VBtarMvmHsU7zbGYmZXG31XAg"}
```
You can insert the complete Authorization-JSON-String in GraphiQL in the "**Request Headers**"-Tab.
The header will then be sent with every query/mutation.

You can then for example query the current logged in user (represented by the token):
```graphql
query {
me {
id
user {
name
email
}
bio
skills
currentlyLearning
}
}
```
