Landbnb - An example application implementing a GraphQL API in Rails

Landbnb

This is an example Rails application which implements a GraphQL API.

Installation

After cloning the repository, run the following commands:

• bundle install
• bundle exec rails db:create
• bundle exec rails db:migrate
• bundle exec rake db:seed

The last command will provide you with some sample data to play around with.

You also need to create a .env file in the root of the project that contains a JWT_TOKEN entry for your user.

• Create a .env file in the root of the project.
• rails console
• AuthToken.token(User.last)
• Use the token that is output and create a JWT_TOKEN entry in the .env file.

Development

Start the Rails app with rails server and you can visit http://localhost:3000/graphiql to explore the API locally.

Requests requiring authentication

Both the createUser and signInUser mutations return a token field. This is a JWT token which should be submitted in all subsequent requests in the format:

Authentication: bearer TOKEN_HERE
