Governance Platform

Setup

This app relies on a database for users, posts, etc. Those need to be in place before the app is started in order to have information to display and users to login.

Databases

2 different databases are required to run this app. They are explained here, but the files needed to run them live in the hasura and auth-server folders.

• Hasura: A general DB to store posts, some user information (anything that isn't used for authentication). It's a Postgres, based on Hasura, exposing a graphQL interface that this Governance platform will talk to.
• Auth: a DB dedicated for user authentication that is accessed by the auth server.

env variable

Create a .env file with the following environmen variable

REACT_APP_HASURA_GRAPHQL_URL="http://localhost:8080/v1/graphql"

Init and Run

Generate types

We use @graphql-codegen to generate types directly form the DB types (hasura). You need to generate the types any time the DB structure is changed.

• yarn codegen
