Update dependencies and fix errors
The related tutorial is nicely done however once it becomes dated it can be a hurdle for newcomers to debug a technology stack they have little experience with. Most developers need to know the latest API's and best practices because it is where they're generally starting when looking at with a boilerplate repo. Debugging many of GraphQL errors aren't fun when you have to know the order of execution, how the stack generally works and how to track down the sometimes cryptic error backs.
This PR will close out several outstanding issues and PR's made by others. In addition the PR adds:
- a NPM test script to run the server and test execution script in parallel
- an ignore-file to nodemon when test files are updated as test changes do not impact the code execution or compilation
I am making assumption the env vars: SECRET
, DATABASE_USER
, DATABASE_PASSWORD
and PORT
are defined within the Travis project settings, otherwise they will need to be added to the NPM script.
