Slides

You can find the slides of the talk here.

Usage

1. Clone repo

git clone [e-mail]:nikolasburk/gotocph2019.git
cd gotocph2019

2. Provide database credentials

In schema.prisma, replace the url in the datasource configuration with the connection string for your PostgreSQL database, for example:

datasource db {
  provider = "postgresql"
  url      = "postgresql://janedoe:janedoe@localhost:5432/goto-demo"
}

Or use a local SQLite file if you don't have a PostgreSQL server running:

datasource db {
  provider = "sqlite"
  url      = "file:./goto-demo.db"
}

3. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Run Prisma's development mode

Run the Prisma development mode. This will:

• Migrate your database (i.e. it creates tables for the models in your Prisma schema)
• Generated the type-safe Photon.js database client

npx prisma2 dev

4. Start the server

npm run dev

5. Explore the GraphQL API

You can now go to http://localhost:4000 in your browser and start sending GraphQL queries and mutations ✨
