NextJS & NestJS GraphQL Starter

A NextJS frontend and NestJS backend GraphQL starter pack that includes GitHub & Reddit authentication.

Is something missing?

If there is a feature missing that is used in most production-grade applications, please make an issue so we can discuss adding it in.

Features

Technologies

Getting started

Install the required packages
```
cd client && yarn
cd server && yarn
```

Update the .env files in the client & server

cp client/.env.example .env
cp server/.env.example .env

Start the server & client

cd server && yarn dev
cd client && yarn dev

The client requires that the server is started so it can read the schema to run codegen. To remove that functionality, remove the predev hook in client/package.json

Deployment

The easiest way to deploy is:

Create a DigitalOcean droplet using the Docker image
Setup Nginx with this guide: How To Install Nginx on Ubuntu 18.04
Clone the repository onto the droplet
Add your .env files with your production configuration to the client and server
Signup for MongoDB Atlas and get your connection string
Mode the build script to make it executable: chmod +x ./build.sh
Run the build script ./build.sh
Modify and copy the supplied nginx.conf into /var/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Generate the SSL certificate with this guide: How To Secure Nginx with Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 16.04
