I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

typescript graphql typeorm

build-graphql-api

Description

build-graphql-api allows you to construct an amazing Graphql API with the following built-in features:

Typescirpt
Typeorm (for database connections)

Usage

Run the following command:

npx build-graphql-api [DIR]

Imporant Information

Configuring the database

Before starting the api, go to the .env file in the root directory and enter your database credentials. You can also change the port the server will run on. If you do not do this, the api will crash.

The api uses mysql be default. To change this, head over to the config/db.ts file.

Cors

cors is already taken care of, but if you need to adjust the configuration, for e.g. adding a new origin, head over to the src/index.ts file.

Pre-built features

The api comes with 2 fully-functional features built-in: an Author model as well as a Book model. Feel free to delete these if you do not need them.

Starting the server

Finally, to start the server, run the following command:

npm run dev

The api uses concurrently to run the typescript watcher and the nodemon server at the same time.
