Getting Started

1. Download & Install Dependencies

   # clone it
   $ git clone [email protected]:kylealwyn/apollo-typescript-starter.git
   $ cd apollo-typescript-starter
   
   # Make it your own
   $ rm -rf .git && git init
   
   # Install dependencies
   $ npm install
   

2. Next, ensure your local Postgres database is up and running. Once configured, place your connection url in a .env file at the root of the repo. These variables will be automatically assigned to process.env when the application boots through dotenv. Your .env file should look something like this:

   DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/books
   

3. Boot the app and navigate to localhost:3000/graphiql to run a query!

   $ npm start
