2. express-graphql
3. mongoose
4. graphql
###### Dev Dependencies.
1. nodemon
###### Database.
1. MongoDB Compass
### Project Setup.

```
start server :rocket:.
```
$ yarn dev
```
### GraphQL Route
> http://localhost:3000/graphql
# MUTATIONS
In GraphQL - mutations are the ideal things that are used to make DELETE, UPDATE or CREATE request to the database. Just like in RESTful APIS where you used PUT/GET/DELETE/POST requests to access the database, in GraphQL you use mutations to perform the equivalent actions that you use in RESTful APIS.
Below are the mutations used in this project.
> Mutations used to ADD / UPDATE / DELETE records on Company Model for the MongoDB :point_down:.
```
mutation {
#---- COMPANY MODEL ----
# --- ADD NEW PRODUCTION COMPANY ---
addProductionCompany(name:"New Cinema") {
message
}
# --- UPDATE PRODUCTION COMPANY NAME ( INFO )---
updateProductionCompanyInfo(oldName:"Neto", newName:"Betty") {
message
}
# --- DELETE PRODUCTION COMPANY ---
deleteProductionCompany(_id: "610903cfeae8f11fc4dac940") {
message
}
#---- COMPANY MODEL ----
# --- ADD NEW MOVIE ---
addMovie(title:"Stranger Things", prodCompany:"NetFlix") {
message
}
# --- DELETE MOVIE ---
deleteMovie(_id: "61095a76e6716d35ea15ef71") {
message
}
# --- UPDATE MOVIE TITLE ---
updateMovieTitle(_id: "61095a76e6716d35ea15ef71", title: "Netflix") {
message
}
# --- UPDATE MOVIE PRODUCTION COMPANY ---
updateMovieProdCompany(_id: "61095a76e6716d35ea15ef71", prodCompany:"Netflix") {
message
}
}
```
# Queries.
In GraphQL - Queries are used to ask/request for data or information. Queries are equivalent to GET request in RESTful APIS.
Below are the queries used in this project.
> Queries used to look for records on Company And Movie Model for the MongoDB :point_down:.
```
{
# --- Get All Production Companies With Their Movies ---
companies {
name
_id
movies {
title
}
}
# --- Get All Movies ---
movies {
_id
title
prodCompany
}
# --- Search Movie Using Movie Title ---
searchMovie(title:"Blades") {
_id
prodCompany
}
# --- Search Movie Using Movie Production Company And Get All Their Movies---
searchProdCompany(name:"Netflix") {
name
movies {
title
}
}
}
```
