This kit includes:
- a NodeJS app server: to serve the front-end written with
react-relay
- a Golang GraphQL server: to serve the back-end
graphql-go
server that handles GraphQL queries - a Babel transpiler workflow using
webpack
that you can use to get started building an app with Relay.
For a walkthrough, see the Relay tutorial.
This is based on alpha version of graphql-go
and graphql-relay-go
.
Be sure to watch both repositories for latest changes.
- Install dependencies for NodeJS app server
npm install
- Install dependencies for Golang GraphQL server
go get -v ./...
Start a local server:
npm start
The above command will run both the NodeJS app server and Golang GraphQL server concurrently.
- Golang GraphQL server will be running at http://localhost:8080/graphql
- NodeJS app server will be running at http://localhost:3000
Any changes you make to files in the js/
directory will cause the server to
automatically rebuild the app and refresh your browser.
Since Golang does not support loading package / module dynamically, remember to update the package import for schema data in:
graphql.go
scripts/updateSchema.go
For e.g
import (
...
"github.com/sogko/golang-relay-starter-kit/data" // <--- update to package containing schema
)
If at any time you make changes to data/schema.go
, stop the server,
regenerate data/schema.json
, and restart the server:
npm run update-schema
npm start
schema.json
is needed by the JS code for ./build/babelRelayPlugin.js
- todomvc-relay-go - Port of the React/Relay TodoMVC app, driven by a Golang GraphQL backend
Feel free to submit a PR to add to this list.
- Swap out
express-graphql
server with a Golang GraphQL server - GraphQL schema definition in Golang
- Generate
schema.json
from schema definition forbabel-relay-plugin
- Generate
schema.graphql
from schema definition
