Installation

Docker

Run the following command to install everything through docker.

The installation takes a bit longer on the first pass or on rebuild ...

$ docker-compose up

# rebuild the containers for a cleanup
$ docker-compose up --build

Open another terminal and create unique indices with:

$ docker-compose exec neo4j migrate

Without Docker

Your backend is up and running at http://localhost:4000/ This will start the GraphQL service (by default on localhost:4000) where you can issue GraphQL requests or access GraphQL Playground in the browser.

GraphQL Playground

You can access Neo4J through http://localhost:7474/ for an interactive cypher shell and a visualization of the graph.

Seed Database

If you want your backend to return anything else than an empty response, you need to seed your database:

Docker

In another terminal run:

$ docker-compose exec backend yarn run db:seed

To reset the database run:

$ docker-compose exec backend yarn run db:reset
# you could also wipe out your neo4j database and delete all volumes with:
$ docker-compose down -v

Without Docker

Testing

Beware: We have no multiple database setup at the moment. We clean the database after each test, running the tests will wipe out all your data!

Docker

Run the jest tests:

$ docker-compose exec backend yarn run test:jest

Run the cucumber features:

$ docker-compose exec backend yarn run test:cucumber

Without Docker
