Experiment: gostack-gql #

Nothing fancy. Just trying out some basic backend. The main motivation is to see if it's viable to go schema-first for a backend application.

Database functions are generated from database migration files with sqlc and the API is generated from a GraphQL schema files using gqlgen.

The goal is to be able to focus on the business logic, and not re-implement things that are already defined in schemas.

Schemas as source of truth #

Database schema: goose #

1. Add a new migration file into pkg/pgdb/schema
2. Run the server (go run server.go)

Data management: sqlc #

1. Add new queries or commands to pkg/pgdb/query.sql
2. Run go generate ./...

GraphQL API: gqlgen #

1. Make the necessary schema changes
2. Run go generate ./...
