Golang-Relay Starter Kit

This kit includes:

• a Golang GraphQL server: to serve the back-end graphql-go server that handles GraphQL queries
• a Babel transpiler workflow using webpack that you can use to get started building an app with Relay.

For a walkthrough, see the Relay tutorial.

Notes:

This is based on playlyfe/graphql implementation but it can be customized for other implementation as well. Be sure to watch the repository for future changes!

Installation

• Install dependencies for NodeJS app server

npm install

• Install dependencies for Golang GraphQL server

go get -v

Running

Start a local server:

npm start

The above command will run both the go-graphql server and will display a simple Hello world!based on the API.

Developing

JavaScript

Any changes you make to files in the src/ directory will cause the server to automatically rebuild the app and refresh your browser.

Golang

Schema data

The Schema and Resolvers should be kept in data/graphql.go. Since Golang does not support loading package / module dynamically, after updating the data/graphql.go file, make sure to update the schema:

• graphql.go
• utils/updateSchema.go

Schema updates

If at any time you make changes to data/graphql.go, stop the server, rebuild data/schema.json and restart the server:

npm run update-schema
npm start

schema.json is needed by the JS code for ./utils/babelRelayPlugin.js

Examples

This starter kit provides a simple go-graphql API that displays "Hello world!"

Feel free to submit a PR to add to this list.

TODOs

• Make it production-ready
• Check Modern Relay compatibility
