usiran-data-store

Data store and GraphQL API for the US-Iran project

Getting started

In order to run this API, a live PostgreSQL database is required.

To install, run:

git clone https://github.com/mitaai/usiran-data-store.git
cd usiran-data-store
npm install

Then, make a copy of .env.sample and rename it to .env to set environment variables:

• DATABASE_URL (must be a valid PostgreSQL connection string)
• AUTH_SECRET (any string)
• ALLOWED_ORIGINS (must be a space-separated list of URIs)

are all required.

Finally, run any of the scripts below.

Available scripts

npm run build

Runs type generator, transpiles TypeScript to JavaScript, and outputs GraphQL scshema.

npm run start

Runs the application in production mode, serving from localhost:4000. You must run npm run build before running this script.

npm run dev

Runs type generator, transpiles TypeScript to JavaScript, outputs GraphQL schema, and runs the application in development mode, serving from localhost:4000.

Hot reloading of TypeScript is enabled, as this script uses ts-node-dev.

npm run dev:typecheck

Runs tsc in watch mode with --noEmit enabled, meaning the transpiled code will not be saved. This is just for checking TypeScript errors.
