backend

Backend for MyLims project.

Usage

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs mylims_server

If the server is run outside the docker environment, it's necessary export the following environmental variables:

• DB_USER: MongoDB username (checked against the admin database)
• DB_PWD: MongoDB password
• DB_HOST: MongoDB host address (default to localhost)
• DB_PORT: MongoDB port (default to 27017)

For the testings there's no necessary to run against a local database instance, it is mocked using jest mocks.

Files structure

Inside the src directory the entry file is index.ts, that creates the server and joins the resolvers and schemas into production. There are also 4 files for each class that structure the project:

• schemas: GraphQL schemas for type definitions, queries and mutations.
• resolvers: GraphQL resolvers for queries and mutations.
• models: Classes for data manipulation and search.

Each class has these files named like this: name.model.ts, name.resolver.ts and name.schema.ts. Also each test has the same name of the resource to test, following the jest convention resource.test.ts, for example model.test.ts.
