# gsg-boilerplate

This project is a boilerplate to quickly get started with graphql-sequelize-generator.

It's a simple To Do list app based on [this codepen](https://codepen.io/karlomajer/pen/rvyyvV) that allows you to manage tasks (create, update, delete, count).

## Getting Started

First you need to clone the project.

```
$ git clone git@github.com:teamstarter/gsg-boilerplate.git
```

This project uses the 12.18.1 version of Node. You can switch to the right version using nvm. Install nvm if you don't have it

```
$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.36.0/install.sh | bash
```

Then choose the rigth version

```
$ nvm use
```

Then install all the dependencies of the project

```
$ yarn
```

Then you need to initialize the database before starting the project. It is configured by default with an sqlite database as described in ./config/config.json. The following command will create or replace the ./data/database.sqlite and run the migrations and the seeds.

You can use any [Sequelize](https://sequelize.org/master/manual/getting-started.html)-compatible database (Postgresql, MySQL, etc...)

```
$ yarn db-reset
```

Once the database is initialized, you can run the project

```
$ yarn dev
```

You can then test the app at this address: http://locahost:3000.

## The Server

It's a node server written in Typescript. It generates a GraphQL schema based on a few declarations of queries, mutations and subscriptions.

```javascript
graphqlSchemaDeclaration.task = {
model: models.task,
actions: ['list', 'create', 'update', 'delete', 'count'],
subscriptions: ['create', 'update', 'delete']
}
```

GSG requires a task model (in the models folder), to work with the above configuration.

```javascript
export default function Task(sequelize) {
var Task = sequelize.define(
'task',
{
id: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
primaryKey: true,
autoIncrement: true
},
name: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false
},
active: {
type: DataTypes.BOOLEAN,
allowNull: false
}
},
{
sequelize,
freezeTableName: true,
modelName: 'task',
paranoid: true,
timestamps: true
}
)

return Task
}
```

The server generates an endpoint (/graphql) to execute get/post queries from the app.

## The App

This boilerplace uses React. It was initialized using create-react-app.

The app uses apollo (the @apollo/client package) which allows you
to quickly send queries to the server to get or send data. In the following example, the query gets a list of tasks.

```javascript
const GET_TASKS = gql`
query GetTasks($order: String, $where: SequelizeJSON) {
task(order: $order, where: $where) {
id
name
active
}
}
```

## Available Commands

In the project directory, you can run:

### `yarn dev`

Runs the app in the development mode.

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to view it in the browser while reloading if you make edits.

The `yarn dev` command runs the app and the server with pm2.

### `yarn db-reset`

Creates a sqlite database file in the data folder and runs the migrations and seeds. If the database file already exists the file is replaced by a new one. This command is useful to clean the database and get a default one.

### `./node_modules/.bin/pm2 log`

Use this command to print logs in the terminal. It's useful to have some realtime logs when you need to debug your app.

### `./node_modules/.bin/pm2 delete all`

This command will stop your app.
