![]() Or psql postgres:///testdb Install PostGraphile You can now run psql with the database name or URL to access it and run SQL queries on it, for us this will look something like this: psql testdb This creates a database called “testdb” which we will be using to create our sample API. Once Postgres is running, create a database for your application by running: createdb testdb Click stop, start, or restart the service optionįor Linux users, run: sudo service postgresql start.Search Postgres service based on the version installed.For mac users with homebrew, run: brew services start postgres Is the server running locally and acceptingĬonnections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? If you encounter the error below, that probably means Postgres is not running yet: psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory To do this run the following command in the terminal: psql Once you have these two installed, you need to create your database. You also need PostgreSQL v9.6.0 or higher which can be found on the PostgreSQL download page. In order to use PostGraphile, you need to have Node.js v8.6 or higher installed, you can find that on the Node website if you don’t have it set up yet. Through Docker - this happens by pulling PostGraphile as a docker image and passing it as a CLI option to the Docker container.As middleware - this way mounts an instance of PostGraphile imported from the postgraphile package onto a NodeJS server.Using the PostGraphile CLI - this is the easiest and quickest way to spin up your PostGraphile API straight from the terminal.PostGraphile can be used in three main ways: In this article, we’ll take a look at how you can get a full-featured server up and running in minutes with PostGraphile. PostGraphile also boasts a powerful plugin system with several community developed plugins that can help expand on its functionality in a variety of ways. This also significantly cuts down on development time. ![]() PostGraphile handles the creation of a performant and standards-compliant GraphQL API layer allowing the developer to focus on the product. PostgreSQL already has amazing authorization and relationship infrastructure, why duplicate that logic in a custom API? PostGraphile harnesses Database-Driven Development to generate and update your Graphql server from your Postgres database schema, automatically detecting changes you make to your schema and updating your server accordingly. PostGraphile, previously known as PostGraphQL, does a great job at pairing these two technologies to allow developers to quickly put together a full-featured GraphQL server storing data on a PostgreSQL database. This means both a better developer experience for those building applications consuming GraphQL APIs and faster applications for the end user. GraphQL is a fantastic solution for communicating with server-side data, it allows developers to create fast and reliable API’s that solve the problem of over-fetching and under-fetching of data by allowing those interacting with the server to specify the precise structure of the data needed from the server.
