GraphQL backend/endpoint for lumen-cms

Lumen-CMS is designed as a full working API-driven CMS with GraphQL backend. This project consist of all required schema and resolver functions to create your backend. After the graph.cool deploy you will receive the endpoints to connect your lumen-cms to your backend. To get your project up and running 2 environment variables are necessary:

• GRAPHQL_PROJECT_ID
• GRAPHQL_SUBSRIPTION

• Visit https://graph.cool
• Create an account and log in to your https://console.graph.cool
• check out quickstart of https://www.graph.cool/docs/quickstart/
• create a new project from scratch

Activate the project in graph.cool settings

• Upgrade your project in the "Danger Zone" of the project settings

In order to deploy the service from the CLI, you need to upgrade your project. This is irreversible.

• After the upgrade you can entirely control the project via graphcool-cli

Install graphcool cli

npm install -g graphcool

git clone https://github.com/lumen-cms/lumen-graphcool.git your-project
cd your-project
graphcool deploy --target [your-endpoint]

Set up .graphcoolrc for easier deployment

• create .graphcoolrc

targets:
  project: [your-endpoint] // => check out the settings of your graph.cool backend

Now you can do:

graphcool deploy --target project
