graphql-jwt-example

Demonstrates Authentication & Authorization in GraphQL using JWT

Getting started with this project

• Clone this project.
• Create a .env file in the project root.
  • Add two variables JWT_ACCESS_SECRET & JWT_REFRESH_SECRET.
  • Assign random secret values (both values will be different) to these variables.
  • You might use require('crypto').randomBytes(${length}).toString('hex') to generate random values. I've used length = 256
• Create an ormconfig.json file in the project root.

{
    "name": "default", // name of the connection option
    "type": "YOURDBTYPE", // options: ["mysql", "mariadb", "postgres", "mssql", ...] (Relational Databases)
    "host": "localhost", // or any other host
    "port": PORTVALUE, // integer,  
    "username": "YOURUSERNAME", // your username
    "password": "YOURPASS", // your password
    "database": "YOURDBNAME", // your database name, ensure that this database already exists
    "logging": true,
    "synchronize": true,
    "entities": ["src/models/**/*.*"],
    "migrations": ["src/migrations/**/*.*"],
    "subscribers": ["src/subscribers/**/*.*"]
}

• Create a config object like this in ormconfig.json. I've used "type": "postgres" and "port": 5432.
• You need to have redis-server installed & running on your machine. I've used the default port 6379. You can change the configuration in redis.ts file.
• If you're a Windows user, you can easily install & run redis-server on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
• Now, you can run npm install & then npm start.
• The GraphQL playground should be available at http://localhost:4000, if there were no errors.
