Graphql poc

This repo is a poc to better understand what GRAPHQL is, and how it can be used to make APIs.

In this poc it has been decided to make the GRAPHQL api in express (nodejs) for its speed of implementation. For the front part the Vuejs framework has been privileged. Not having too much time to test it in the past, I wanted to discover it via this poc.

Run all (production mode)

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.with-graphql-server.yml -f docker-compose.with-webapp.yml

Test the api via graphiql

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.with-graphql-server-dev.yml -f docker-compose.with-webapp.yml

It is possible to test the API in dev mode thanks to an endpoint provided for this purpose http://:/graghiql
