graphql-api-js
Apollo graphql api server for Photowall
This servers runs in two instances on AWS. graphql.photowall.com is used for photowall admin. data.photowall.com is used by the website (client).
When clients want to use the public data.photowall.com they use the /login REST endpoint to retreive a BearerToken with restricted cognito scopes. They can then access certain product and designer information with the token.
Third party systems like Unbox (Synergy) will use the graphql.photowall.com to read their data like they are doing now. This is to make sure the website wont be affected by larger downloads of data like unbox does. Unbox has their own cognito app client with limited scopes.
Run it locally
Create an .env file (see .env.example for what to set).
COGNITO_LOGIN_CLIENT_SECRET, COGNITO_LOGIN_CLIENT_ID is found in cognito photowall-test-staff pool. In photowall-web-test-client app.
Publish it to staging
Run make publish-to-staging. Please note that further commits on the same branch will not be updated automatically and the same command must be run again if changes are made.
Development
This project does only run in docker, so when developing start the docker environment and let it updated when changing files. Sometimes the watch for files doesnt trigger. Like when you edit the .graphql file. Then just edit a .ts file and it will reload.
Run
$ npm install
$ docker compose build
$ docker compose up
For testing use a tool like Insomnia or similar. Server is running on http://localhost:4000/ and to
connect you need to use basic auth with username and password from "GraphQl Basic Auth" in lastpass.
If you wish the Bearer Token used in prodlike environment also works.
If you dont have access to photowall shared lastpass please contact any collegaue.
If you use Insomnia ask a colleague for the queries that can be exported/imported from Insomnia. To tests the data.photowall.com its possible to run the login rest endpoint to get a Bearer accessToken. Check code for username and password.
Run prod-like container locally
Run
$ docker compose -f docker-compose-prodlike.yml build
$ docker compose -f docker-compose-prodlike.yml up
Get your AD-token from this path in the browser <url to photowall>/admin/auth/token
Take the value of the token param and add header in insomnia:Authorization: Bearer .
The token is valid for 2-3 hours.
