A Complete Backend Apllication that allows users to Register or Login and then Post on the social media platform. It is a Backend App where all the API calling is done Using GraphQL and setup docker-compose for using postgresql as a Dependency instead of installing postgresql.

• GraphQL ExpressJs
• Docker Compose
• PostgreSQL
• Prisma ORM
• TypeScript
• Json Web Token
• Apollo Server

• Allows users to Authenticate and Authorize
• Uses Jwt for authentication
• Uses b-crypto for hashing the password
• Uses a containerized envirnment to interact with the databse
• Uses Prisma as a service layer between the database and communication

To run this project, you will need to add the following environment variables to your .env file

DATABASE_URL='postgresql://janedoe:mypassword@localhost:5432/mydb?schema=sample'

• You need to replace username, password and databse name from the docker-compose file and connecto the databse.

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/neeraj-gs/Threads-App-Backend-GraphQL.git

Go to the project directory

  cd Threads-App-Backend-GraphQL

Install dependencies

  npm install

Start the graphql server

  npm run dev

Go to Apollo Server to Check the API Callings

  http://localhost:8000/graphql

Run docker container in the background

  docker-compose up -d

Connect to postgresql database using docker

  docker exec -it <container_id_here> bash
  su postgres  

Open postgresql terminal in docker

  psql

Some basic databse commands to navigate

  \l - lists the databases present 
  \c <db_name_here> - connects to the databse
  \d - lists the tables
  \d <table_name_here> - lists all the columns in the talbe 
  \x - to dispaly data column wise

Any postgresql commands can be run here:

  select * from  users;

Can Add more features related to different interactions present in a SOcial Media Platform and can interact with the apllication using docker used as a postgresql databse for integrations.
