inversify-graphql-example

Node js sample app with inversify and graphql(using apollo graphql). It includes winston for logging and stoppable for graceful shutdowns.

Can be used with or without docker. Instructions are written below.

How to use

• Clone the repo and cd into it.

Using without docker

• Run npm i
• create .env file to the root of this folder and copy contents from example.env into it.
• Run npm run dev to run server with nodemon.

To run compiled code, run npm run build, provide environment variables(.env file will not be read with compiled code) and then npm start

Using with docker

a. For building dev stage

• create .env file to the root of this folder and copy contents from example.env into it.
• Run docker-compose build
• Run docker-compose up

b. For building prod stage

• For environment variables, create .env file to the root of this folder and copy contents from example.env into it. OR use some other way of providing environment variables to the compose file.

Note: the above method is only used for this example. More secure way must be used for passing environment variables to the docker container. See the comment in dockerfile in prod stage section

• Run docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml build
• Run docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up

You are ready to build exciting things upon this sample app.
