project-fortis-services

Overview

This repository contains the services tier of the Fortis architecture, below highlighted in red in the architecture diagram for the entire system.

This repository implements a NodeJS GraphQL server that sits in between the Fortis data-store (Cassandra) and the Fortis frontend (React).

Development setup

As per the diagram above, there are two pieces necessary to run this repository locally: a Cassandra database and the GraphQL server. You can spin up both of these pieces using Docker via the following command:

git clone https://github.com/CatalystCode/project-fortis-services
cd project-fortis-services
docker-compose up

The container of the GraphQL server will wait for the Cassandra database to come live, then set up the database schema, then insert seed data (if a link to a CQL file is provided via the FORTIS_CASSANDRA_SEED_DATA_URL environment variable) and then start the GraphQL server on port 8080.

After the server started, head over to the following URLs to play with the service:

• http://localhost:8080/api/edges/graphiql
• http://localhost:8080/api/messages/graphiql
• http://localhost:8080/api/settings/graphiql
• http://localhost:8080/api/tiles/graphiql

project-fortis-services's Issues

Create a Service Bus Client

Allow graphql services to send messages to azure service bus through the client.

Implement executeQuery in CassandraConnector.js

CassandraConnector provides the means to execute queries and mutations on Cassandra.

What does complete mean:
Implement executeQuery

Implement createStream and removeStream

These services will manage the connectors tab on admin page.

GQL Service Documentation

We need to give some much needed TLC to this repos README . The readme should provide clear guidance for new Fortis developers.

Documentation should cover the following criteria

1. Installing the fortis service project and it's dependencies, then starting the node server.
2. Documenting all Queries and Mutations within the Messages, Settings, Tiles and Edges GQL endpoints.
3. The documentation should include a brief description for each query and mutation, including its arguments and return type.
4. We should also include a sample GQL query and mutation call for each service call.
