Chat App

This app is a proof of concept meant to facilitate communication between current and potential clients, and business team members.

Stack

This app uses React, GraphQL with Apollo 3.0 and Hasura, as well as a Postgres database.

GraphQL Engine over Postgres DB

Using Hasura and Heroku this app is currently running a GraphQL Engine over Postgres DB. The console can be found here.

If you'd like to work locally and try out something yourself, you can use Docker. You can find the configuration in the docker-compose.yml file. Just run the yarn start:local-api script and a detached docker container will launch. Once running, you can view the the UI console at http://localhost:8080/console. On initial startup, you will have to create the User and Message tables.

TODO:

  • Set up routing
  • Set up user authorization and roles
  • Set up a production-ready Hasura deployment

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

yarn start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

As mentioned above, it will also launch the Hasura docker container.

yarn start:local-api

Runs the local detached docker container with Hasura GraphQL Engine over Postgres DB. Once running, you can view the the UI console at http://localhost:8080/console. On initial startup, you will have to create the User and Message tables.

yarn test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.

yarn build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

yarn generate

Generates the facadeClient code from the Hasura GraphQL Schema. Learn more at graphql-code-generator. The configuration is found in codegen.yml file.

yarn generateGraphqlSchema

Generates the GraphQL schema.json file from Hasura in the root directory.

yarn eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
