Express Generator CLI for Node with Typescript, Apollo GraphQL Server and MongoDB with Mongoose

This CLI helps to create new implemented API demo for Node with Typescript, Apollo GraphQL Server and MongoDB with Mongoose from a boilerplate.

About the NPM Package

Package Installation

npm install -g express-generator-node-typescript-apollo-graphql-mongo-cli

Package Usage

Go to the directory on terminal where you want to generate the project.

$ cd PATH

and run the generator command with specifying the project name.

$ express-generator-ntagm --name="PROJECT_NAME"

Documentation for the Boilerplate

When you generate the project, you will have;

Tech Stack

• Node.js
• Typescript
• GraphQL Apollo Server
• MongoDB with Mongoose

Features

• Multiple GraphQL Queries with implementations in Typescript
• Multiple GraphQL Mutations with implementations in Typescript
• Multiple GraphQL Schemas with implementations in Typescript
• Multiple Controllers with implementations in Typescript
• Multiple Mongoose Models with implementations in Typescript
• MongoDB Connection, Repository Layer implementations in Typescript
• CRUD operations for Multiple Entities with implementations in Typescript

Architecture

This boilerplate has common graphql api design architecture. Layers:

• Controllers holds implementation for the business logic, like retrieving data from repositories, returning those data to queries and mutations, saving data etc.
• Database holds MongoDB connection provider
• Models holds document interfaces, schema definitions and models for MongoDB & Mongoose
• Mutations holds basic mutation implementation; create, update, delete
• Queries holds basic query implementation; retrieve
• Resolvers holds resolver definitions for Apollo Server
• Schemas holds schema definitions for Apollo Server

Installation

Install the dependencies and devDependencies:

$ cd <Project Name>
$ npm install

Set environment parameters on .env:

PORT="{{PORT NUMBER WHERE THE APP WILL WORK}}"
MONGO_DB_PATH="{{MONGODB CONNECTION URL STRING}}"

And that's all, start the server

$ npm start

ts-node	to execute TypeScript and REPL for node.js, with source map support

Installation

express-generator-ntagm requires Node.js v10+ to run.

Install the dependencies and devDependencies and start the application.

$ cd express-generator-node-typescript-apollo-graphql-mongo
$ npm install
