Practice TypeScript, GraphQL, TypeORM with Nest.
Nest framework TypeScript starter repository.
- The auth module implements JWT authentication.
- We handle the authentication at the "transportation layer", which is decoupled from the GraphQL "APIs".
- The Auth Module supports
Sign UpandSign Inover REST APIs. - Every time a user signs in, he/she gets the
accessTokenwhich valid for and hour. - The user uses the
accessTokento access the tweet module for both REST endpoints and the GraphQL endpoint.
Download and install Docker Desktop
Start PostgreSQL with docker-compose
docker-compose up -dSetup the database
psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -c 'DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS tweet'
psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -c 'CREATE DATABASE tweet'Install node and dependencies
npm installStart the app
npm run startWe have a few tooling
- Postman
- curl
- GraphQL Playground http://localhost:3000/graphql
I've created a postman collection for both Auth Module, and Tweet Module
We can use it to test both REST and GraphQL APIs.
The other option is to get the JWT using curl, and test with GraphQL Playground
- Import Postman collection
- Config environment variable for the
urlhttp://localhost:3000
- Sign up and then sign in. This will get an accessToken from the server, and saved for other APIs.
Sign up an user.
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:3000/auth/signup' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"username": "[email protected]",
"password": "O1X0l0bEPtXShuT"
}'Sign in as the user
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:3000/auth/signin' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"username": "[email protected]",
"password": "O1X0l0bEPtXShuT"
}'Response:
{
"accessToken": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6IkpvZXNwaDFAZXhhbXBsZS5vcmciLCJpYXQiOjE2MTk1MDIyMTUsImV4cCI6MTYxOTU4ODYxNX0.nsHLRrZlmVtoifNMaBJHm8HKTsMTJJpeN3M46pNi5pM"
}Open the GraphQL Playground, and set the token in the HTTP header
