GraphQL Live Chat App

A simple live GraphQL chat app built using React, Node, Apollo Server/Client and TypeGraphQL. There is an option to use Rust async-graphql running on warp server.

To Run

Server

• Run npm i to install deps
• Run npm run watch to compile TS files
• In another terminal, run npm run dev to start the server
• Visit localhost:9000/graphql to view GraphQL Playground

Client

• Run npm i to install deps
• Run npm start to start the client
• Open two browser tabs or more at localhost:3000, enter names and start chatting between them.

GraphQL API Endpoints

• /graphql: has createChat mutation and allChats query resolvers
• /subscriptions: has messageSent subscription

Used the following tutorial as a starting point.

OR

Warp Server

Instead of running the TS server you can run Rust warp-server with

• In the client uncomment all "warp-server" and comment the corresponding lines in App.tsx, Chat,tsx and gql.ts
• Run cargo run to start the server
• Run the client (see above)
• Visit localhost:8000 to view GraphQL Playground. All queries, mutations and subscriptions are on /.
