Create GraphQL Guru

Easily Scaffold and generate graphql servers

Quick overview

 
guru express my-server  
cd my-server  
npm run dev

Get Started Immediately

You don’t need to install or configure tools like Webpack or Babel. They are preconfigured and hidden so that you can focus on the code.

Just create a project, and you’re good to go.

Getting started

Installation

Install once globally:

npm install -g create-graphql-guru

You will need Node >= 6 on your machine. You can you n or nvm

Creating a server

To create a new server, run:

guru express my-server

cd my-server
npm run dev  

It will create a directory called my-server inside the current folder.
Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure and install the transitive dependencies:

my-server
├── bin
│   └── www
│       └── index.js
├── node_modules
├── public
├── server
│   ├── core
│   │   ├── database
│   │   ├── middleware
│   │   │   └── index-middleware.js
│   │   ├── routes
│   │   │   └── index-routes.js
│   │   └── database.js 
│   ├── modules
│   │   └── resolverQuery-hello.js 
│   │   └── schemaQuery-hello.graphql 
│   │   └── schemaType-hello.graphql 
│   │   └── access.js 
│   ├── queries
│   ├── views
│   │   └── layout 
│   │   └── index.hbs 
│   ├── environment.js
│   └── index.js
├── LICENSE
├── package.json
├── query-history.json
├── README.md
└── yarn.lock

No configuration or complicated folder structures, just the files you need to build your app. Once the installation is done, you can run some commands inside the project folder:

npm run dev or yarn run dev
