Example application with Beego + Gorm + graphql-go in the backend & Vue.js in the frontend

Beego, Gorm, GraphQL & Vue.js demo

This app is a demo of using a Beego powered backend, with a Vue.js powered frontend.

Server-Side

• Beego - Golang powered Web framework.
• Gorm - Golang ORM - used instead of Beego's ORM due to better support of Postgres features (and fun).
• graphql-go - Golang implementation of GraphQL.

Client-Side

• Vue.js - used to build the UI components.
• Vuex - state management for Vue.js.
• Vue Router - router for Vue.js, using for routing support.
• Bulma - CSS framework used to for UI components.

Setup

• Install Node.js & Golang (project was developed on Golang v1.7)
• Install glide for Golang dependency management.
• Install yarn for client-side dependency management.
• Run the following:

$ go get github.com/honst/bee-gorm-graphql
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/honst/bee-gorm-graphql
$ yarn install
$ glide up
$ go get github.com/beego/bee
$ npm run build
$ bee run #open http://localhost:8080

Next Steps

• You need to setup your Postgres DB (take a look at conf/app.conf)
• You need to create at least one user - Easiest way is to do so via the GraphiQL UI - http://localhost:/graphql. Take a look at graphql/schema.go for the query structure
• Log into the system http://localhost:8080/session/login
• Enjoy

Credits

GraphiQL UI is embedded as is. This was blatantly "ripped off" from the graphql-go Github repo StarWars Example

Todo

• Tests are missing completely - Will add them as time goes by
