F8 App 2016 - Apollo

This is a refactored version of the official F8 app of 2016, that uses the Apollo Stack. As part of the refactor I have made the following changes:

• Removed the use of Relay on both the server and client.
• Replaced the Parse client with the Apollo client for all the data loading.
• Fully implemented all data requirements in the GraphQL server.

The implementation found in the master branch leaves the application architecture intact with the use of react-redux. There is a version of the app that uses react-apollo in the react-apollo-connect branch which is a WIP.

Requirements

1. React Native (follow iOS and Android guides)

• Xcode 7.3 +

2. CocoaPods (only for iOS)

• Version 1.0+ recommended (gem install cocoapods --pre)

3. MongoDB (needed to run Parse Server locally)

Setup

1. Clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/nnance/f8app-apollo
$ cd f8app-apollo

2. Install dependencies (npm v3+):

$ npm install
$ (cd ios; pod install)        # only for iOS version

3. Make sure MongoDB is running:

$ lsof -iTCP:27017 -sTCP:LISTEN

NOTE: if installed with Homebrew run brew info mongo and check out the Caveats section.

If you prefer to use an external MongoDB server, set DATABASE_URI:

$ export DATABASE_URI=mongodb://example-mongo-hosting.com:1337/my-awesome-database

4. Start Parse/GraphQL servers:

$ npm start

5. Import sample data (the local Parse Server should be running):

$ npm run import-data

Make sure everything works by visiting:

• Parse Dashboard: http://localhost:8080/dashboard
• GraphiQL: http://localhost:8080/graphql

6. Running on Android:

$ react-native run-android
$ adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081   # required to ensure the Android app can
$ adb reverse tcp:8080 tcp:8080   # access the Packager and GraphQL server

7. Running on iOS:

$ react-native run-ios
