# Backend
## Installation with Docker
Make sure you are on a [node](https://nodejs.org/en/) version >= `v10.12.0`:
```text
node --version
```
Run:
```bash
docker-compose up
# create indices etc.
docker-compose exec neo4j migrate
# if you want seed data
# open another terminal and run
docker-compose exec backend yarn run db:seed
```
App is [running on port 4000](http://localhost:4000/)
To wipe out your neo4j database run:
```bash
docker-compose down -v
```
## Installation without Docker
Install dependencies:
Download [Neo4j Community Edition](https://neo4j.com/download-center/#releases) and unpack the files.
Download [Neo4j Apoc](https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/neo4j-apoc-procedures/releases) and drop the file into the `plugins` folder of the just extracted Neo4j-Server
Start Neo4j
```text
neo4j\bin\neo4j start
```
and confirm it's running [here](http://localhost:7474)
```bash
yarn install
# -or-
npm install
```
Copy:
```text
cp .env.template .env
```
Configure the file `.env` according to your needs and your local setup.
Start the GraphQL service:
```bash
yarn dev
# -or-
npm dev
```
And on the production machine run following:
```bash
yarn start
# -or-
npm start
```
This will start the GraphQL service \(by default on localhost:4000\) where you can issue GraphQL requests or access GraphQL Playground in the browser:
![GraphQL Playground](../.gitbook/assets/graphql-playground.png)
## Configure
Set your Neo4j connection string and credentials in `.env`. For example:
_.env_
```yaml
NEO4J_URI=bolt://localhost:7687
NEO4J_USERNAME=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=letmein
```
> You need to install APOC as a plugin for the graph you create in the neo4j desktop app!
Note that grand-stack-starter does not currently bundle a distribution of Neo4j. You can download [Neo4j Desktop](https://neo4j.com/download/) and run locally for development, spin up a [hosted Neo4j Sandbox instance](https://neo4j.com/download/), run Neo4j in one of the [many cloud options](https://neo4j.com/developer/guide-cloud-deployment/), [spin up Neo4j in a Docker container](https://neo4j.com/developer/docker/) or on Debian-based systems install [Neo4j from the Debian Repository](http://debian.neo4j.org/). Just be sure to update the Neo4j connection string and credentials accordingly in `.env`.
# Seed and Reset the Database
Optionally you can seed the GraphQL service by executing mutations that will write sample data to the database:
```bash
yarn run db:seed
# -or-
npm run db:seed
```
For a reset you can use the reset script:
```bash
yarn db:reset
# -or-
npm run db:reset
```
# Testing
**Beware**: We have no multiple database setup at the moment. We clean the database after each test, running the tests will wipe out all your data!
Run the _**jest**_ tests:
```bash
yarn run test
# -or-
npm run test
```
Run the _**cucumber**_ features:
```bash
yarn run test:cucumber
# -or-
npm run test:cucumber
```
When some tests fail, try `yarn db:reset` and after that `yarn db:seed`. Then run the tests again
