Tuwuitter - a Twitter clone made with GraphQL + Relay

⚠️ this code needs a lot of refac, and I plan to do so in the future

This is a study project in continuous development, in which I am implementing features from Twitter - such as a real-time timeline, user profiles and tweets - using the Relay stack. Feel free to open a PR anytime!

This project has a deployment in heroku, you can see it live here.

Technologies used:

• Language: Typescript
• Server: Koa
• Database: MongoDB
• GraphQL middleware: GraphQL-helix
• Graphql library to implement subscriptions: Graphql-ws
• React (frontend components)
• Relay (frontend framework and server specification)

WORK IN PROGRESS

How to run in dev mode

Install the dependencies

yarn install

Fill the envs and generate the graphql.schema file. Then, run

yarn dev

It's also important to note that, if you run this app in dev mode, it will run two instances (backend and frontend), since it uses webpack dev server with hot reload and ts-node-dev. Therefore, you should alter the fetchGraphQL.ts file to point to this URL when running locally. In production, the frontend is served from the koa server.
