Climbing Route Catalog API

What is this?

OpenBeta Graph API allows other applications to access the OpenBeta climbing database using any standard GraphQL clients.

Endpoint:

Production: https://api.openbeta.io
Development: https://stg-api.openbeta.io

We recommend using an online playground to explore the API.

Example query

Get all sub-areas at Smith Rock

query Example1 {
  areas(filter: {area_name: {match: "Smith Rock"}}) {
    area_name
    children {
      area_name
      metadata {
        lat
        lng
      }
    }
  }
}

# Result

Development

Requirements

Docker
Node.js (v16.14.0 or later)
yarn
mongorestore command-line utility (you have to install the entire MongoDB Database Tools)
wget (used for retrieving the remote file for seeding your local database)

Add '127.0.0.1 mongodb' entry to your /etc/hosts file (or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows)

127.0.0.1       mongodb

Launch mongodb dev stack: database server and mongo-express (web-based admin console for mongo):

docker compose up -d

Seed your local database with data from staging environment

yarn install
yarn seed-db   # May take a few minutes to download a large database file

Start the GraphQL server

yarn serve

Navigating the codebase

These links explain the structure and key abstractions of our codebase. It's a good place to start before you go spelunking in the code.

Troubleshooting

Fix "permissions on /opt/keyfile/keyfile are too open" error This error appears because the keyfile is required to be read-only
```
chmod 400 keyfile
```
Fix "error opening file: /opt/keyfile/keyfile: bad file" error This may appear after you update the keyfile to read-only access. The file needs to be owned by the same owner of the mongodb process
```
chown 999:999 keyfile
```

Tips

Browse the database: http://localhost:8081

Bypassing auth when developing locally

Start up your local server with yarn serve-dev (instead of yarn serve)
```
# Run this in open-tacos project
yarn serve-dev
```
This allows the current user to run any Query or Mutation (irrespective of the current user’s UUID)

(How it works: auth/middleware.ts and auth/permissions.ts are conditionally swapped out on server initialization (server.ts), based on whether the env var LOCAL_DEV_BYPASS_AUTH is set)
Full stack development

Connect your frontend dev env to this local server
```
# Run this in open-tacos project
yarn dev-local
```

Make sure to include .js when importing other files:

...
import { getClimbModel } from '../db/ClimbSchema.js'  // .js is required
...
