Go Lang GraphQL Boilerplate

This is my GraphQL Boilerplate for starters at Go and GraphQL

Why i created this?

I was studying Go Lang and i did not found any great tutorial of how to build a simple GraphQL server with authentication and with password hashing

What you need to know?

There are three stuff that you need to know about this boilerplate

What database is beign used?

MongoDB, and for managing i'm using the mgm that is a ODM for mongo, and the models that i create are all inside the database/models folder. You can create your models inside that folder like this: database/models/user/user.go

What is being used to handle GraphQL?

GQL Gen, the graphql gen it's a pretty easy solution to work with GraphQL with Go!

It has some tools to help you develop faster you just need to change the schema and run the following command to generate the models and resolvers skeleton:

go run github.com/99designs/gqlgen

It will generate a model inside the file graph/model/models_gen.go folder and also will create the resolvers for you automatically inside graph/schema.resolvers.go, but there are two things that you need to know:

1. The models should not be edited because they are generated based on the graph/schema.graphqls
2. You can edit the graph/schema.resolvers.go but when you run the gql gen command will create resolvers but without any kind of logic inside

How to run the project

1. Clone the repo
2. Enter the project folder and run the following command to install the deps go mod download
3. Run the go run server.go and you should be fine
