Usage

Installing the plugin exposes the commands of Graphback. All the commands are prefixed with backend-. For example graphql backend-init.

graphql backend-init

The command will guide you through a series of questions - choosing a template, bootstraping model, selecting preferred database - and setup your project for you.

graphql backend-init <project name>

graphql backend-generate

The command will generate schema and resolvers, with CRUD operations according to your GraphQL data model.

graphql backend-db

The command will create database resources according to your datamodel(including tables and relationships). Running the commands recreates the database structure i.e. drops all existing data.

You can run created server using npm run start
