GraphQL demo server

This is the server used in the ZingGrid GraphQL demos zinggrid-react-demo and zinggrid-svelte-demo . In case the public server is not running, you can run this version locally. It requires node and python to be installed.

1. npm install
2. npm run reset
3. npm run start

Note: the server installs the SQLite module, which may need to be compiled for your environment. It's written in C++, so make sure you have gcc and g++ installed. Also, it expects python to be available as python, but it may only be installed as python3. You may need to create a symlink to the actual installed version of python3, in my environment I had to run ln -s /bin/python3.10 /bin/python as root.

Edit the demoServer URL in zinggrid-react-demo/src/components/GraphQL-crud.js or zinggrid-svelte-demo/src/demos/GraphQL-crud.svelte to point to your local server, probably http://localhost:4000/graphql.

To reset the database to its original contents, run npm run reset.

Server-Side Tests

There are tests that can be run from the server to try out some GraphQL queries. cd ./tests and edit config.mjs to set the URL to your instance of the server. You can then run each of the test*.mjs files with node. Note that some of the tests are destructive, so you might need to reset the DB afterwards.
