Requirements
- Node.js v20 or newer with Corepack enabled.
- Local or remote instance of PostgreSQL.
- VS Code editor with recommended extensions.
Getting Started
Just clone the repo and, install project dependencies and bootstrap the PostgreSQL database:
$ git clone https://github.com/kriasoft/graphql-starter-kit.git example
$ cd ./example # Change current directory to the newly created one
$ corepack enable # Ensure Yarn is installed
$ yarn install # Install project dependencies
$ yarn db create # Create a new database if doesn't exist
$ yarn db migrate --seed # Migrate and seed the database
From there on, you can launch the app by running:
$ yarn workspace server start # Or, `yarn server:start`
$ yarn workspace app start # Or, `yarn app:start`
The GraphQL API server should become available at http://localhost:8080/.<br> While the front-end server should be running at http://localhost:5173/.
IMPORTANT: Tap Shift+Cmd+P in VSCode, run the TypeScript: Select TypeScript Version command and select the workspace version.
How to Update
In the case when you kept the original GraphQL Starter Kit git history, you can always pull and merge updates from the "seed" repository back into your project by running:
$ git fetch seed # Fetch GraphQL Starter Kit (seed) repository
$ git checkout main # Switch to the main branch (or, master branch)
$ git merge seed/main # Merge upstream/master into the local branch
In order to update Yarn and other dependencies to the latest versions, run:
$ yarn set version latest # Upgrade Yarn CLI to the latest version
$ yarn upgrade-interactive # Bump Node.js dependencies using an interactive mode
$ yarn install # Install the updated Node.js dependencies
$ yarn dlx @yarnpkg/sdks vscode # Update VSCode settings
