react-tornado-graphql-example

A personal one-shot example app using React, Tornado, and GraphQL.

The subscription code is not working.

Setup

Install NPM packages:

% npm install

Install pip packages and register tornado-graphql-example pacakge:

% cd tornado
% pip install -r requirements.in
% python setup.py develop

Usage

Launch the GraphQL API server:

% tornado-graphql-example

Launch the development web server which serves the static client-side app:

% npm start

Development

--debug option enables auto-start on modifying files:

% tornado-graphql-example --debug

By default, all origins are allowed to CORS. Be sure to configure the following options.

• allow_origin (default '*') or allow_origin_path
• allow_credentials (default True)

Frameworks/Libraries

Client-side (JavaScript)

• React
• Redux
• react-router and react-router-redux
• Apollo client (GraphQL integration)
• Semantic-UI-React (CSS framework)

The application code was generated by create-react-app.

See package.json for more information.

Server-side (Python)

• GraphQL-core
• Tornado
• Traitlets

See tornado/requirements.in for more information.

Todo

• Create the independent tornado-graphql module same as flask-graphql
• Add missing GraphQL features and make the code robust
• GraphiQL integration
• Tests
• Background job processing using ZeroMQ (Tornado really shines with this!)
• Authentication
• GraphQL subscription
