GraphQL Playground

Attention: For using the GraphQL Playground set DEBUG=true in your backend .env, see .env.template!

To use GraphQL Playground, we need to know some basics:

How To Login?

First, we need to have a user from ocelot.social to log in as. The user can be created by seeding the Neo4j database from the backend or by multiple GraphQL mutations.

Seed The Neo4j Database

In your browser you can reach the GraphQL Playground under http://localhost:4000/, if the database and the backend are running, see backend. There you will also find instructions on how to seed the database.

Use GraphQL Mutations To Create A User

TODO: Describe how to create a user using GraphQL mutations!

Login Via GraphQL

You can register a user by sending the query:

mutation {
  login(email: "user@example.org", password: "1234")
}

Or use "moderator@example.org" or "admin@example.org" for the roll you need.

If all goes well, you will receive a QGL response like:

{
  "data": {
    "login": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6InUzIiwibmFtZSI6Ikplbm55IFJvc3RvY2siLCJzbHVnIjoiamVubnktcm9zdG9jayIsImlhdCI6MTY2MjAyMzMwNSwiZXhwIjoxNzI1MTM4NTA1LCJhdWQiOiJodHRwOi8vbG9jYWxob3N0OjMwMDAiLCJpc3MiOiJodHRwOi8vbG9jYWxob3N0OjQwMDAiLCJzdWIiOiJ1MyJ9.atBS-SOeS784HPeFl_5s8sRWehEAU1BkgcOZFD8d4bU"
  }
}

You can use this response to set an HTTP header when you click HTTP HEADERS in the footer. Just set it with the login token you received in response:

{
  "Authorization": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6InUzIiwibmFtZSI6Ikplbm55IFJvc3RvY2siLCJzbHVnIjoiamVubnktcm9zdG9jayIsImlhdCI6MTY2MjAyMzMwNSwiZXhwIjoxNzI1MTM4NTA1LCJhdWQiOiJodHRwOi8vbG9jYWxob3N0OjMwMDAiLCJpc3MiOiJodHRwOi8vbG9jYWxob3N0OjQwMDAiLCJzdWIiOiJ1MyJ9.atBS-SOeS784HPeFl_5s8sRWehEAU1BkgcOZFD8d4bU"
}

This token is used for all other queries and mutations you send to the backend.

Query And Mutate

When you are logged in and open a new playground tab by clicking "+", you can create a new group by sending the following mutation:

mutation {
  CreateGroup(
    # id: ""
    name: "My Group"
    # slug: ""
    about: "We will save the world"
    description: "<p class=\"\"><em>English:</em></p><p class=\"\">This group is hidden.</p><h3>What is our group for?</h3><p>This group was created to allow investigative journalists to share and collaborate.</p><h3>How does it work?</h3><p>Here you can internally share posts and comments about them.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Deutsch:</em></p><p class=\"\">Diese Gruppe ist verborgen.</p><h3>Wofür ist unsere Gruppe?</h3><p class=\"\">Diese Gruppe wurde geschaffen, um investigativen Journalisten den Austausch und die Zusammenarbeit zu ermöglichen.</p><h3>Wie funktioniert das?</h3><p class=\"\">Hier könnt ihr euch intern über Beiträge und Kommentare zu ihnen austauschen.</p>"
    groupType: hidden
    actionRadius: interplanetary
    categoryIds: ["cat12"]
  ) {
    id
    name
    slug
    createdAt
    updatedAt
    disabled
    deleted
    about
    description
    groupType
    actionRadius
    myRole
  }
}

You will receive the answer:

{
  "data": {
    "CreateGroup": {
      "id": "2e3bbadb-804b-4ebc-a673-2d7c7f05e827",
      "name": "My Group",
      "slug": "my-group",
      "createdAt": "2022-09-01T09:44:47.969Z",
      "updatedAt": "2022-09-01T09:44:47.969Z",
      "disabled": false,
      "deleted": false,
      "about": "We will save the world",
      "description": "<p class=\"\"><em>English:</em></p><p class=\"\">This group is hidden.</p><h3>What is our group for?</h3><p>This group was created to allow investigative journalists to share and collaborate.</p><h3>How does it work?</h3><p>Here you can internally share posts and comments about them.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Deutsch:</em></p><p class=\"\">Diese Gruppe ist verborgen.</p><h3>Wofür ist unsere Gruppe?</h3><p class=\"\">Diese Gruppe wurde geschaffen, um investigativen Journalisten den Austausch und die Zusammenarbeit zu ermöglichen.</p><h3>Wie funktioniert das?</h3><p class=\"\">Hier könnt ihr euch intern über Beiträge und Kommentare zu ihnen austauschen.</p>",
      "groupType": "hidden",
      "actionRadius": "interplanetary",
      "myRole": "owner"
    }
  }
}

If you look into the Neo4j database with your browser and search the groups, you will now also find your new group. For more details about our Neo4j database read here.
