GraphiQL Website

Aim

The purpose of this was to make it really quick and easy to get a server that serves GraphiQL for your GraphQL API.

Setup

Requirements:

• Node v6
• NPM v3
• Optional: Docker (This is only needed if you want to run the website in a container)

Node

If you just want to run the express server on your machine follow these steps:

• Install the packages by running npm install
• Build the frontend assets by running npm run build
• Set the GRAPHQL_SERVER_URL env to be your GraphQL server's url
• Run the website by running npm run start

Docker

To run the website in a docker container run: docker run -d --name <container name> -p <port>:3000 -e GRAPHQL_SERVER_URL=<GraphQL Server Url> alexandermcneill/graphiql_website

If you want to build the image yourself run the following:

• Install the packages by running npm install
• Build the frontend assets by running npm run build
• Build the docker image docker build -t <image name> .
• Start a container docker run -d --name <container name> -p <port>:3000 -e GRAPHQL_SERVER_URL=<GraphQL Server Url> <image name>
