Setup And Run Instructions For GraphQL With MongoDB

Install MongoDB And Run Microservice Locally

1. Install MongoDB Community Server.
2. Connect To MongoDB Server through localhost and default port for the database server on 27017.
3. Create a database called BookStore with two containers called book and author.
4. Run mvn clean install (Requires Maven Setup) to install and compile all necessary packages and files.
5. Run the GraphQLAPISpringTestApplication and set active profile(s) to local.
6. Request can be sent and checked with Insomnia with samples in the SampleInsomniaRequests/ directory that can be imported into insomnia.
7. You can now query and mutate the database with this microservice on http://localhost:8080/graphql

Create And Run GraphQL Microservice and MongoDB On Docker Locally

1. Install docker desktop through the DockerHub here.
2. Create a docker network so services can easily communicate with one another with command: docker network create {NETWORK_NAME}
3. Install/Run the mongodb docker container existing on port 8082 (The MongoDB container runs on port 27017 for any containerized applications) docker run --name {MONGO_CONTAINER_NAME} -d -p 8082:27017 --network {NETWORK_NAME} mongo
4. Build Docker Image for the microservice docker build -t {MICROSERVICE_IMAGE_NAME} .
5. Connect mongo container to a network that the microservice will run on with the command docker network connect {NETWORK_NAME} {MONGO_CONTAINER_NAME}
6. Run the docker image for the graphql microservice with the command docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --network {NETWORK_NAME} -e MONGODB_HOST={MONGO_CONTAINER_NAME} --name {MICROSERVICE_CONTAINER_NAME} {MICROSERVICE_IMAGE_NAME}
