The Good Corner

Live coding project for Wild Code School, work-and-study program, 2023-2024:

• Language: TypeScript
• Back-end and API: Node.js Apollo server exposing an GraphQL API using models decorated with type-graphql and TypeORM (Postgres database)
• Web-app: Next.js pages (React with styled-components), Apollo client and automatic type generation from GraphQL API
• All services in Docker containers orchestrated with Docker Compose
• Unit and integration tests (Jest, Apollo client mock, test database)
• Continuous integration quality check

Prerequisites: Docker (24+), Make.

Development

Run app in watch mode:

make run-dev

In parallel, follow log output with:

make logs

Run tests

Back end

Run tests in watch mode:

make back-end-test-watch

Web app

Run tests in watch mode:

make web-app-test-watch

Setting web-app types after GraphQL

Generate query-specific types for web-app development:

make web-app-generate-graphql-types

These types can then be used in Apollo queries and mutations.
