Add a Default Controller

Create the following file src/main/java/com/example/jgs/controller/HealthController.java.

package com.example.jgs.controller;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class HealthController {

    @GetMapping
    public String check() {
        return "OK";
    }
}

Start server with below command:

mvnw spring-boot:run

Goto http://localhost:8080 You should see the OK message.

Add GraphQL Dependencies

Add JPA and GraphQL dependency

Update the pom.xml as follow.

    <properties>
        ...
        <graphql-java-kickstart.version>7.1.0</graphql-java-kickstart.version>
        <graphql-spqr.version>0.10.1</graphql-spqr.version>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        ...
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>

            <scope>runtime</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
...

Create the User Entity and Service

Create the following file src/main/java/com/example/jgs/input/CreateUser.java.

package com.example.jgs.input;

import io.leangen.graphql.annotations.GraphQLNonNull;
import lombok.Data;

@Data
public class CreateUser {
    @GraphQLNonNull
    private String name;

    private String nickName;
}

Create the following file src/main/java/com/example/jgs/model/User.java.

package com.example.jgs.model;

import com.example.jgs.input.CreateUser;
import io.leangen.graphql.annotations.GraphQLNonNull;
import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import lombok.Builder;
import lombok.Data;
import lombok.NoArgsConstructor;
import org.hibernate.annotations.Type;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import java.util.UUID;

@Entity
@Data
@Builder
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
public class User {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    @Type(type = "uuid-char")
    @GraphQLNonNull
    @Column(length = 36)
    private UUID id;

    @GraphQLNonNull
    private String name;

    private String nickName;

    public static User from(CreateUser createUser) {
        return User.builder().name(createUser.getName())
                .nickName(createUser.getNickName())
                .build();
    }
}

Create the following file src/main/java/com/example/jgs/repository/UserRepository.java.

package com.example.jgs.repository;

import com.example.jgs.model.User;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import java.util.UUID;

@Repository
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, UUID> {
}

Create the following file src/main/java/com/example/jgs/service/UserService.java.

package com.example.jgs.service;

import com.example.jgs.input.CreateUser;
import com.example.jgs.model.User;
import com.example.jgs.repository.UserRepository;
import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.UUID;

@Service
@AllArgsConstructor
public class UserService {

    private final UserRepository userRepository;

    public List<User> find() {
        return this.userRepository.findAll();
    }

    public User findOneById(UUID id) {
        return this.userRepository.findById(id).orElse(null);
    }

    public User create(CreateUser createUser) {
        return this.userRepository.save(User.from(createUser));
    }

    public boolean delete(UUID id) {
        if (this.userRepository.existsById(id)) {
            this.userRepository.deleteById(id);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Implement the User Resolver

Create the following file src/main/java/com/example/jgs/resolver/UserResolver.java.

package com.example.jgs.resolver;

import com.example.jgs.input.CreateUser;
import com.example.jgs.model.User;
import com.example.jgs.service.UserService;
import io.leangen.graphql.annotations.GraphQLArgument;
import io.leangen.graphql.annotations.GraphQLMutation;
import io.leangen.graphql.annotations.GraphQLNonNull;
import io.leangen.graphql.annotations.GraphQLQuery;
import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.UUID;

@Controller
@AllArgsConstructor
public class UserResolver {

    private final UserService userService;

    @GraphQLQuery
    @GraphQLNonNull
    public List<@GraphQLNonNull User> users() {
        return this.userService.find();
    }

    @GraphQLQuery
    public User user(
            @GraphQLArgument(name = "id") UUID id) {
        return this.userService.findOneById(id);
    }

    @GraphQLMutation
    @GraphQLNonNull
    public User createUser(
            @GraphQLArgument(name = "input") @GraphQLNonNull CreateUser createUser) {
        return this.userService.create(createUser);
    }

    @GraphQLMutation
    public UUID deleteUser(
            @GraphQLArgument(name = "id") UUID id) {
        return this.userService.delete(id) ? id : null;
    }
}

Add Config for GraphQL

Create the following file src/main/java/com/example/jgs/config/GraphqlConfig.java.

package com.example.jgs.config;

import com.example.jgs.resolver.UserResolver;
import graphql.schema.GraphQLSchema;
import io.leangen.graphql.GraphQLSchemaGenerator;
import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
@AllArgsConstructor
public class GraphqlConfig {

    private final UserResolver userResolver;

    @Bean
    GraphQLSchema schema() {
        return new GraphQLSchemaGenerator()
                .withBasePackages("com.example.jgs")
                .withOperationsFromSingleton(this.userResolver)
                .generate();
    }
}

Rename src/main/resources/application.properties to src/main/resources/application.yml. Then Add the following:

spring:
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:h2:mem:testdb

Test the GraphQL Endpoint

Start the server.

mvnw spring-boot:run

Goto the GraphQL Playground - http://localhost:8080/playground.

Create a new user

mutation {
  createUser(input: { name: "Tommy" }) {
    id
  }
}

Output :

{
  "data": {
    "createUser": {
      "id": "8ec8105e-1ffc-4fe3-81fb-882b3dd33f82"
    }
  }
}

Query the users

query {
  users {
    id
    name
  }
}

Output :

{
  "data": {
    "users": [
      {
        "id": "8ec8105e-1ffc-4fe3-81fb-882b3dd33f82",
        "name": "Tommy"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Setup DB and DB migration

Config MySQL and MyBatis Migrations

Update the following file pom.xml

...
    <properties>
        ...
        <mybatis-migrations-autoconfigure.version>0.0.2</mybatis-migrations-autoconfigure.version>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        ...
        <dependency>
            <groupId>mysql</groupId>
            <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
            <scope>runtime</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>de.bessonov</groupId>
            <artifactId>mybatis-migrations-spring-boot-autoconfigure</artifactId>
            <version>${mybatis-migrations-autoconfigure.version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
...

Update the following file src/main/resources/application.yml.

spring:
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:${DATABASE_URL:mysql://usr:User12345@localhost:3306/development}

logging:
  level:
    org.hibernate.SQL: DEBUG
    org.hibernate.type.descriptor.sql.BasicBinder: TRACE

server:
  port: 4000

Initialize the migration scripts

Create a folder scripts under src/main/resources

Create the following file src/main/resources/scripts/<yyyymmddHHmmss>_create_changelog.sql
(e.g. 20200728095409_create_changelog.sql )

-- // Create Changelog

-- Default DDL for changelog table that will keep
-- a record of the migrations that have been run.

-- You can modify this to suit your database before
-- running your first migration.

-- Be sure that ID and DESCRIPTION fields exist in
-- BigInteger and String compatible fields respectively.

CREATE TABLE ${changelog} (
  ID NUMERIC(20,0) NOT NULL,
  APPLIED_AT VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
  DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY(ID)
);

-- //@UNDO
DROP TABLE ${changelog};

Create the following file src/main/resources/scripts/<yyyymmddHHmmss>_first_migration.sql
(e.g. 20200728095410_first_migration.sql )

-- // First migration.
-- Migration SQL that makes the change goes here.
CREATE TABLE user (
  id VARCHAR(36) NOT NULL,
  name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  nick_name VARCHAR(255) NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY(id)
);

-- //@UNDO
-- SQL to undo the change goes here.
DROP TABLE user;

Please note the following points when creating new script:
1. The naming convention is <yyyymmddHHmmss>_<description>.sql
2. Put undo SQL under -- //@UNDO section.

Test the migration script

Build the jar

Create the following file src/test/resources/application.yml.

spring:
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:h2:mem:testdb

graphql:
  servlet:
    websocket:
      enabled: false

Update the dependency of com.h2database in pom.xml as follow:

...
		<dependency>
			<groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
			<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
			<scope>test</scope>
		</dependency>
...

Package the jar by command:

mvnw package

Execution of migration command

Start a MySQL docker instance.

docker run -d -e "MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=Admin12345" -e "MYSQL_USER=usr" -e "MYSQL_PASSWORD=User12345" -e "MYSQL_DATABASE=development" -p 3306:3306 --name some-mysql bitnami/mysql:5.7.27

Run the below command and look at migration status before executing the scripts:

>java -jar target/java-graphql-sample-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar migrations status

ID             Applied At          Description
================================================================================
20200812020020    ...pending...    create changelog
20200812020021    ...pending...    first migration

Execution of the migration script:

java -jar target/java-graphql-sample-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar migrations up

Run the below command again to check the applied time:

>java -jar target/java-graphql-sample-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar migrations status

ID             Applied At          Description
================================================================================
20200812020020 2020-08-12 11:43:46 create changelog
20200812020021 2020-08-12 11:43:46 first migration

Test the GraphQL Endpoint

Start the server.

mvnw spring-boot:run

Goto the GraphQL Playground - http://localhost:4000/playground.

Create some users

mutation {
  a: createUser(input: { name: "John" }) {
    id
  }
  b: createUser(input: { name: "Mary" }) {
    id
  }
}

Output:

{
  "data": {
    "a": {
      "id": "94ae9dd3-c739-4c04-8bfb-6a7c94552cd6"
    },
    "b": {
      "id": "2aa8e496-0c9d-41b4-a0c8-467beaf14247"
    }
  }
}

Query the users

query {
  users {
    id
    name
  }
}

Output :

{
  "data": {
    "users": [
      {
        "id": "2aa8e496-0c9d-41b4-a0c8-467beaf14247",
        "name": "Mary"
      },
      {
        "id": "94ae9dd3-c739-4c04-8bfb-6a7c94552cd6",
        "name": "John"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Delete one of the user by the id

mutation {
  deleteUser(id: "94ae9dd3-c739-4c04-8bfb-6a7c94552cd6")
}

Output :

{
  "data": {
    "deleteUser": "94ae9dd3-c739-4c04-8bfb-6a7c94552cd6"
  }
}

Test the MySQL database

Run the mysql command using the same docker instance.

docker exec -it some-mysql mysql -uroot -p"Admin12345"

Select the data from user table.

mysql> use development;
mysql> select * from user;
+--------------------------------------+------+----------+
| id                                   | name | nickName |
+--------------------------------------+------+----------+
| 2aa8e496-0c9d-41b4-a0c8-467beaf14247 | Mary | NULL     |
+--------------------------------------+------+----------+
