Set up Hasura-Graphql Engine

Prerequisites

• Docker Desktop installed and running

How to run

Following env variables needs to be set accordingly in the docker-compose.yml,

# primary database that you want to connect
HASURA_GRAPHQL_DATABASE_URL

# database for storing the hasura metadata (can be same as primary db)
HASURA_GRAPHQL_METADATA_DATABASE_URL

Execute the below command from the workspace directory,

docker compose up

If the build is successful, hasura service runs at http://localhost:8888/

Once the hasura is up & running, you can connect to additional databases. Click on data tab -> Manage database -> Connect Database. Enter the database uri string or env variable to connect.

Note: To skip the manual steps of connecting to additional db's (like application_store & account_store), there is a pre-built metadata json in the dir metadata that you can directly import from the settings.
