README

This project is strictly containerized. Every rails command has to be executed within the container. However, you may export the database URL if you wish.

1. Install Docker (docker-compose), Altair, and clone this repo
2. Navigate to this folder
3. Run docker-compose up --build
4. After build exit and run docker-compose up -d to keep it running in the background
5. Run docker-compose exec app bash to go into the container
6. Create the Database: bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
7. If you're outside of the container: docker-compose exec rake db:create ...)
8. Restart container: docker-compose restart app
9. Go to your Altair client, have your method set to POST
10. Set your URL to http://localhost:3000/graphql
11. Type in your query (example):

query{
  users{
    createdAt
    id
    job
    name
    comment{
      content
      userId
      status
      votes
    }
  }
}

TODO (For later)

• Finish graphql mutations
• Other backend stuff
• Setup foreman to assist with hot reload for docker (since docker allows only one command per service)
• Develop the frontend
